CE-WINE 2012, Apr. 29. #18868 Introduction to The Republic of Georgia Wines Wines from this region are virtually unknown to the average wine drinker because they were unavailable to the rest of the world. In 2018, archaeologists found traces of winemaking on 8,000-year-old pottery shards in Georgia, and the tiny former Soviet republic claimed the crown as the world’s oldest wine producer. Georgia is known by many people for kvevri wines, which are fermented, and sometimes aged, in clay vessels and often buried underground. There are dry red wines made from Saperavi and other red grapes but it’s the amber wines, produced from white grapes fermented in kvevri with skins and sometimes stems, that have become Georgia’s calling card. Join us for a unique flight of the wines from this region. CE-WINE 2011, Apr. 15. #18867 BAKING & COOKING Creative and Natural Cooking NEW!
