Wine has been made for at least 6000 years. The earliest evidence of wine making has been found in what is today the Republic of Georgia. In this class, we will explore wines from the areas near where wine was first made. Most of the wines in this class are made from indigenous varieties that truly shine in their native regions. Wines from this region are not well know, but they are terrific and offer great value. Who doesn't love affordable delicious wine?
