Noel Brockett

President

Noel Brockett is a lover of all things Georgian, starting with his Georgian wife. Noel Brockett was a typical American 20 year old until his life drastically changed in 2007 when he met and fell in love with a woman from Georgia while studying at a small liberal arts college, St. John’s College, in Annapolis, MD. He jumped head first into this new culture and spent a large chunk of time from 2008-2011 in Georgia working on education, getting married, gaining a family and discovering Georgia’s 8,000 year old wine making tradition.

Noel’s background in Philosophy and History from St. John’s College further fuel his passion for the history of Georgia, and how it informs Georgian Wine Houses’ portfolio.

As a lifelong traveler and storyteller, Noel is a driving force in education on wine, spirits and culture in the US and abroad. As a leader in Georgian Wine advocacy, Noel is just as often found across the country spreading his passion for hospitality and Georgian Wine to professionals and consumers, or hosting likeminded sommeliers in Georgia.
