Episode 288: 8,000 vintages of wine in Georgia
About this episode
This episode explores Georgia's rich winemaking history and features an interview with winemaker Shota Nastroshvili.
Georgia is a country with a deep relationship to wine. For more than 8,000 continuous years, the people of Georgia have made wine, and there is not a single aspect of life it does not influence. In celebration of the new feature-length film coming to SOMM TV in July, we are telling the story of how this country — surrounded by mountains and sitting at the crossroads of Europe and Asia — became the birthplace of wine. Today’s episode was recorded live in Georgia with winemaker Shota Nastroshvili of Teliani Valley. Make sure to visit SOMM TV to subscribe. Our new feature-length film about Georgia premieres in early July, and this episode can also be watched on SOMM TV.
