“Learning about the unique Georgian winemaking method was excellent. My very knowledgeable guide, Erekle, was great, taking me to a small place which had the fermentation jars in the ground. The wineries themselves didn't feature any themselves. Seeing the jars, and hearing Erekle's explanation of how they're used and cleaned really helped in understanding the process. The 3 wineries were all very different, making for a good introduction.”
