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. 

We chose Missouri deliberately. Over multiple tasting stops in St. Louis and Kansas City, we found a wine community that’s curious, unpretentious, and genuinely hungry for wines that taste like where they come from. The restaurants and shops we visited aren’t chasing trends – they’re chasing character. That’s our wavelength.

St. Louis has a hospitality scene that takes wine seriously without taking itself too seriously, and Kansas City’s dining culture continues to evolve in ways that reward producers who lead with story and substance. We’ve been warmly received in both cities, and we’re not interested in a one-and-done market entry. We’re here to build relationships with the people who pour our wines, sell our wines, and put them on tables where they’ll be appreciated.

What you’ll find from Saperavi Brothers isn’t a nostalgia play. Georgia may have been making wine longer than anyone, but our producers aren’t resting on that, they’re making some of the most exciting wines in the world right now. We’re bringing those wines to Missouri, and we’d like you to taste them. Check out our map of featured retail shops to learn more.
