Today we get into one of the oldest-known wine regions in the world with a history dating back more than 8,000 years… Georgian wine.  Georgia is strongly associated with the continuation of ancient winemaking techniques like using clay vessels for fermentation and storage.

 

Claiming to be the birthplace of wine, Georgia thrived during the middle ages when it came to producing wine. Wine represents a significant component of Georgia’s economy and they have amazing terroirs and conditions that allow the grapes to thrive.  I get into the ups and downs throughout history for Georgian wine production and how they didn’t allow certain historic events to stop them from producing the best wine their country has to offer.

 

I also touch on a recent video I came across that really enlightened me with some great advice aka “Everything is your fault”.  As individuals, we need to stop treating our life as if we are the victim and realize that everything that happens to us is our own fault. 

 

Tune in know as I try this Georgian White Wine made of Mtsvane grapes and dive into how each of us need to be the CEO of our life. Hope you enjoy this one!
