9.1

Doing a tasting at our wine club, The Nightshift, with the theme “Ancient Vines.” Starting off here to understand Georgian wines better. Hopefully a good beginning…

(Draft of the novel in the background)

Aromas of honeysuckle, peaches, apricot, dried fruits, unfiltered honey.

I don’t know what the ratings are smoking. Maybe people are biased towards Eurocentric/American winemaking traditions we’re used to seeing in the marketplace.

With a winemaking tradition 8,000 years old that claims to be the birthplace of wine, this is as old world as you’re going to get.

Honeyed yams and sweet potato, dry like the tartness of an unripe peach, tea like qualities.

I think this is lovely (especially for a tasting). It’s going to stack up nicely with some fun cheeses. Excited. — 10 months ago

Wow, what a surprise! Light and brisk. Honeysuckle big time. No after taste and a great finish like very faint citrus but no fruity. Wonderful in summertime with an ice cube. Lovely!! — 3 years ago

Wow- this is old! and yet it’s still fully intact. No longer bright or fruity, but resinous and saline; plum, Turkish delight, dark Turkish dried apricot, medium tannins, very slight acetone. — 4 months ago

Light straw color. Bouquet of citrus, honey and salinity. Initial burst of honey then citrus and a tart green apple. Minerals on the back. Many layers. — 2 years ago
