ABOUT GEORGIA:
This small country is located at the eastern edge of the Black Sea, at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, and is recognized as the birthplace of wine, with evidence dating back 8,000 years. Georgia is known for its amber wines and its traditional winemaking methods using qvevri (large clay vessels), while also producing wines in the European, or international style more familiar to today's consumers. Georgia embraces its more than 500 native grapes, which provide a whole new range of flavors for wine lovers to discover. Wine is an integral part of Georgia, inseparable from the cuisine, culture, hospitality and connection with family and friends.
