22.06.2018 (Hvino News). What's in common between Georgia, the French Revolution, and award-winning American film director David Lynch? George (Giga) Agladze, the maker of AG Alco wines, explained the rich cultural background backing his brand at a presentation held yesterday at
Reserve, Tbilisi's trend-setting wine tasting shop.
George Agladze is a professional movie director who turned winemaker to continue his family's ancient wine-making tradition which dates back to 1798. His ancestor - also George Agladze, a soldier during the War of the Second Coalition against the revolutionary France - was captured, freed, and even managed to organize wine-making according to Georgian
qvevri technology in France in the 1800-s.
Nowadays, this fantastic story is an inspiration behind the AG Alco wines. And what about David Lynch, the legendary director of
Twin Peaks? George Agladze is also president of David Lynch Foundation Caucasus, and David is fond of the George's wines. "Our wine technology is a mixture of Georgian and European traditions", - commented Mr. Agladze.
The elegant presentation at
Reserve (3, 9 Aprili Street) featured 4 wines under Agladze's brand, and was attended by the industry representatives, diplomats, and the mass media. According to
Reserve's owner David Tatulashvili, the wine presentations of selected Georgian and foreign brands at his wine-tasting shop will become regular.
