We absolutely love Kapistoni, and the wonderful people behind it, Jose Luis and Ruso, have agreed to an informal evening of great Georgian wine, accompanying Georgian food from Chama Mama, and conversation on our mezzanine, Thursday, December 5, from 6-7:30pm.

This is not a standard seminar, but more of an intimate seated gathering on the mezz as we share their delicious wines, ask them all our burning questions, and enjoy pairings from our favorite Georgian restaurant! 

Nestled within the pristine Eco-Zone of Saguramo village in the heart of Georgia's Mtskheta region, Kapistoni Winery stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of family-owned viniculture. They proudly uphold an ancient winemaking tradition dating back 8000 years, an artistry recognized and celebrated by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage.

Their devotion to the traditional Qvevri method is unwavering. Clay vessels carefully buried in the earth nurture the process that allows nature's alchemy to work its magic. They source our grapes exclusively from ecologically cultivated vineyards in the region of Kartli, where ancient, indigenous grape varieties thrive.

The cost of this seated tasting-and-discussion event is $30 and a $10 credit at the store will be extended to each guest for a future purchase. Seating is limited and special pricing on the featured wines will be made available only to attendees. We hope you can join us on the mezzanine at Thursday, December 5, from 6-7:30pm for this special evening.

A Delicious Experiment in Burgundy: Trapet's À Minima Passetoutgrain

It’s hard to believe that there’s a Burgundian style of wine that could be considered under-appreciated, but in our opinion, the humble passetoutgrain is exactly that. It’s an easygoing blend of Pinot Noir (naturally) and Gamay, a lingering reminder of that grape’s long history in the region (until Philip the Good, very dramatically, banished the variety in the 14th century, and it found a new home in Beaujolais).

Great Value From Opposite Ends of the Boot

There’s a little-known spot in the middle of Sicily with incredible viticultural treasures. Feudo Montoni's vines are isolated from the rest of the island's viticulture, a small oasis of vineyards surrounded by a sea of golden wheat and ancient olive groves. This isolation has worked like magic to keep the phylloxera pest away. And no phylloxera here means no grafting necessary: these vines are own-rooted and some are hundreds of years old. Scientists believe this is the birthplace of Nero d'Avola.

Julian Haart's Skill + Klaus-Peter Keller's Terroir = A Stunning Riesling

Rote Erden comes from the Zellertal am Schwarzen Hergott, a cold parcel on pure limestone soils. Keller farms the vines, but Julian calls the harvest, and the fruit is trucked back to Piesport to be vinified and aged in Julian’s cellar. The wine is whole-cluster pressed and vinified and aged in large neutral barrels for 10 months before bottling.
