  1. I love quirky tastings.

    And simply featuring Georgian amber wines was quirky enough for many guests at a tasting in Beijing.

    But then one brought an amber wine from Poland. And we had another from China’s Ningxia region. Plus, local wines made with Georgian grapes Saperavi and Rkatsiteli. And more.

    We tried them at the new Peach restaurant, with Georgian wines from importer Larry Zheng.

    They were a real eye -- and taste bud -- opener for amber wine novices. And it was fun to see their versatility in pairings with dishes with Mexican, Middle Eastern and Italian themes.

    The story appeals, too: the idea of drinking wine familiar to people who existed before written history, as far back as 8000 years ago.

    More details on the tasting here, with wines from Georgia (Casreli, Anapea Village
    & Baia), Poland (Domaine Bliskowice) and China (Domaine Charme, Puchang & Grace Vineyard).
