Georgian Wine News: THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD’S OLDEST WINE

Author Michael Cecire wrote a nice article on Georgian wine for WarOnTheRocks.com entitled “THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD’S OLDEST WINE” about the story and character of Georgian wines. Michael remarks on all the great press Georgian wine is getting in 2015 writing:

“America’s New Hot Wine,” blared a Washington Post headline. “Older and Wiser,” counsels the venerable Financial Times. “The next big food and wine destination,” offers Mashable, the beating heart of the web 2.0 zeitgeist. For Georgia and its ancient winemaking tradition, the plaudits have recently come thick and fast.

Michael writes passionately and truthfully about Georgia’s 8,000 year old love affair with wine and how it completely intermingles with every aspect of Georgian society from the cultural, economic and political. He goes on to remark

Georgian wine is more than a timeless elixir or a hot international trend, but a very symbol of Georgian independence and, to no small degree, an actual, working fulcrum upon which some elements of its sovereignty may rest. But the good news is that we can do our part to help by simply picking up a bottle of a crisp tsinandali white or a deep red saperavi. Try several, find some that are yours, and discover a new perspective on wines from the oldest of the old world.

Thanks to Michael for helping us spread the gospel of Georgian wines in the US. Make sure to read his full article.
