    I had the incredible good fortune of being a Peace Corps volunteer in Georgia over 20 years ago. I'm so excited to see the incredible growth of this unique and vibrant place! Sakartvelos gaumarjos!

    Thank you for highlighting a country that is not often highlighted. What a beautiful, rich culture. Might have to book a ticket. Or at the very least track down a bottle of Georgian wine.

    I discovered Georgian Amber wine 3 or 4 years ago. It appealed to my love of history and culture. I wasn’t even much of a wine drinker. But now I share it with my friends and family and feel blessed to do so. ❤😊❤

    I have quite a few Georgian amber wines in my wine fridge now, as do most of my friends. Everything I have tasted from Georgia has been enjoyable.

    "For the Love of Wine: My Odyssey through the World's Most Ancient Wine Culture" written by Alice Feiring is a wonderful book about Georgian wine for those who want a deeper exploration of Georgian wine.

    What a great piece. It really paints a charming picture of several aspects of Georgian society.

    In the UK, you can get Georgian wine from Adnams, The Oxford Wine Company, The Cambridge Wine Company, Laithwaites and Evington Wines in Leicester.
  • Georgia is a divine and blessed place in a most peculiar way. There is a mysterious power that dwells on this tiny but strong in spirit country. For mileniums they have kept their religious identity, traditions and very unique language. Many times outnumbered by Muslims and Mongol invaders they managed to rise up from the ashes. Nothing short of a miracle they exist today. Incredible people, Incredible land. All the love to you!❤
