I must admit I loved the Vinoterra wines however, my favorites were the Kisi 2011, Mtsvane 2008 and Saperavi 2009. Tim Lemke's article describes the wines we tasted at Schuchmann Wines. Lemke also notes that the wines can be purchased in the U.S. The winery is owned by German businessman Schuchman. Schuchmann Wines also has a small boutique hotel and restaurant. I can easily imagine staying there to explore more. You can check hotel reviews at Tripadvisor.
Yes, there is a Georgian wine chateau that produces some great wines. However, it is not every day that you get an opportunity to taste rich, unique wines, like Schuchmann's. Spaswinefood's trip to Georgia was a fabulous opportunity to explore the Kartli and Kakheti wine regions. An article by Harilan Wine and Spirits describes the wine regions of Georgia. Our trip was part of an #EWBC post-conference trip, sponsored by the Georgian Wine Association. A visit to Georgia is a must for hard-core wine enthusiasts. I look forward to writing about our Georgian wine experiences at Spaswinefood, or you can visit my travel column at the Examiner.
