Doing a tasting at our wine club, The Nightshift, with the theme “Ancient Vines.” Starting off here to understand Georgian wines better. Hopefully a good beginning…

(Draft of the novel in the background)

Aromas of honeysuckle, peaches, apricot, dried fruits, unfiltered honey.

I don’t know what the ratings are smoking. Maybe people are biased towards Eurocentric/American winemaking traditions we’re used to seeing in the marketplace.

With a winemaking tradition 8,000 years old that claims to be the birthplace of wine, this is as old world as you’re going to get.

Honeyed yams and sweet potato, dry like the tartness of an unripe peach, tea like qualities.

I think this is lovely (especially for a tasting). It’s going to stack up nicely with some fun cheeses. Excited. — 21 days ago

The Rkatsiteli. Bone dry earthiness with a sherry nose. Good acidity and medium bodied, but definitely a bit funkay! — 8 months ago

Love it! Refreshing with a little funk. You can nearly taste the clay pots. — 2 months ago

2020. Initial aromas included some effusive funk that dissipated over an hour or so to reveal stone fruit pits and floral notes. Similar flavors, lower acidity and a pretty good tannic finish. I pulled it to pair with the warm spices and astringent eggplant in a rich moussaka and it complimented really well. — 10 months ago
