Georgia on my mind

 

WNC here --

Russia has decided to ban Georgian wine (not the American state, silly, the one in Eastern Europe). 

Georgia, Georgia...

I'll take your wine.  It sounds delectable -- sweet, red wine?  Delish.

I've never had Georgian wine, but now I'm curious to try.

Here's a blurb on Georgia:

"On the eastern border of the Black Sea adjacent to the Caucasus Mountain range rests a country of 5 million people on a land rich in history, agriculture, literature, and SUPERB WINE.......the Republic of Georgia.

Formerly a member of the Soviet Union, Georgia has a long history of winemaking. In fact, many people believe that the word "wine" is of Georgian origin. Ancient wine vessels dating back to 5000 B.C., recently unearthed by scientists, offer evidence to support this theory.

Georgia's moderate climate and moist air, influenced by the Black Sea, provide the best conditions for vine culturing. This small country is home to over 500 varieties of wine, which have been enjoyed by Georgians, Russians and many Europeans."


 

With the new ban, since Russia once imported over 90% of Georgia's wine, we are at an excellent position to access this wine at, I'm speculating, very, very reasonable prices.

Give it a try and so will I!
