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. At Select Wines, we are proud to
bring these distinctive wines to your table.
