Introducing our winemakers, who bring Georgia’s vine to life.
There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens at a tasting table. Not the kind where someone lectures you about soil types, but the kind where someone picks up a glass, takes a sip, and says something like, “I didn’t know wine could taste like this.” We had that conversation a lot this July as Saperavi Brothers announced our new distribution partnership with Veritas in Missouri.
Forbes went to Kakheti and came back with something worth reading. Here’s what they found — and why it matters.
Kosta recently reflected on a standout moment from his trip to Georgia with Saamuri Wine Bar and their highly anticipated annual event in Tbilisi- the Saamuri Natural Wine Salon. The festival celebrates organic and natural winemaking, typically taking place in early May at Tbilisi’s iconic creative co-working space, Fabrika.

We cut our teeth in this business on the distribution side. Introducing a little know wine region with unfamiliar, hard to pronounce grapes taught us a lot. We have a tremendous appreciation for the distributors and their sales teams and all the hard work that goes into servicing accounts.
