🍷🎉 Georgian wine is apparently the OG of all wines, boasting an 8,000-year-old uninterrupted legacy. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just struggling to figure out how to pronounce "sommelier" without embarrassing ourselves. 🤦♂️ #Cheers to ancient grape juice! 🥂

Wine features pretty heavily in "A Gentleman in Moscow", particularly Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but I think this is the first time I've seen Rkatziteli (Georgian, in this case) mentioned in a series or movie!
I've loved Rkatziteli since I first tasted Dr. Konstantin Frank's Finger Lakes version many years ago. Still one of my favourite wines to take to a blind tasting! 😁

Tonight I'm having another orange wine: 2022 Papari Valley Chinuri-Rkatsiteli by 3 Qvevri Terraces.
Orange, hint of mushrooms and smoke, on the palate surprisingly tannic, but pleasant with notes of peach, orange peel and tea. Sadly, among the orange wines I've tried recently it's not particularly remarkable, but it doesn't mean it's bad at all - quite nice on a hot summer evening!

Another wonderful orange from Georgia: Jakeli
Rkatsiteli - Kisi 2022. Nose has hints of rosemary and citrus, palate gives apricots and hints of caramel with surprisingly grippy tannins. Nice long finish too - delicious!

Today, with dinner - 2021 Matiashvili Amber. Heard of big bold reds? This one is a big bold orange ;) Gorgeous color, 16.2 ABV (!) and drinks almost like a red too - delicious.
Shown here in my favorite orange wine glass made by Rona - machine-made, but feels almost handmade.

Since 2015, U.S. imports of wine from Georgia have more than quintupled. Still low levels, but steady growth. #georgianwine

本日仕事関係の資格試験でした。
白目むいたナマズオ状態で勉強して無の心で試験を受けた結果、何と通った！！！（通ると思ってなかった）
驚きのあまり、試験会場を出た足で自分へのご褒美にジョージアのワインげっとww
古代ギリシャや古代エジプトの世界で見かけそうな素朴だけどよくできた瓶のデザインが素敵。お味はこの間のよりももう少しあっさりさっぱりした感じ。

8000-year-old wines! Made a clip of all the Georgian wines I tasted in China this past year, most of them from the amber / orange / skin-contact category.
And including producers such as Askaneli Brothers, Anapea Village, Baia, Barbale and Casreli.
In a country with such a long alcohol history--the oldest known site in China dates to about 9000 years ago and involved blending rice, honey and fruit--the story of Georgia resounds. And it is fun to see so many wineries experimenting with amphora / skin-contact wine here.
All of the wines in this video are available from importer Georgia Selections. Also see the website winesgeorgia.com for more info about Georgia's wine scene.

Quirky wine tasting.
Three twists on Sichuan dish mapo tofu -- pizza, pasta and nachos -- with seven wines at restaurant The Rug in Sanlitun (Beijing).
The wines included three tea-infused Chardonnays from Lingering Clouds in Ningxia, a trio of Georgian wines, and one wine made with Longyan (Dragon Eye) grapes from just outside Beijing.
Collective top match: Jasmine-tea infused Chardonnay with mapo tofu pizza. Big aromas with big flavors.
Best Georgia match: Dora Rkatsiteli. This skin-contact white wine worked especially well with the cheesier dishes--the pizza and the pasta. (All three Georgian wines imported by Georgia Selections.)
My three favorite wines simply for drinking: the Longjing-infused Chardonnay pet-nat (fresh, crisp and with nice fragrance), the Dora Saperavi (a fresh supple fruity wine) and that Longyan by Clovitis (zingy lemon character).
A fun night of eating, drinking and relaxing with friends.

‘Orange’ wine from China. Made by Longting winery, in coastal Shandong province, using Petit Manseng grapes, wild yeast and oak barrel aging.
The label says "delicate, dense and ethereal. It is like being in the singing of birds and flowers, and the joy of living things."
Sounds like spiritual experience!
I’ve been hosting Georgian wine tastings – all amber wines – of late, so I’ll save this bottle for the next one. Always like to have a few local wines, either skin-contact or made using Georgian grapes like Saperavi or Rkatsiteli.
Anyway, this wine is more evidence of how China's wine scene is steadily diversifying. While a Cabernet / Bordeaux blend mentality is still dominant, we see an ever-growing number of grape varieties used for commercial wines and more of those wines leaning to niches such as skin contact, natural and biodynamic.
