13 hours ago, chefmd said:This is a 50%-50% blend of Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane grapes fermented and made in qvevri (large clay jars buried under the ground). This is an Amber or "Orange" wine style, but made in a lighter style with only 1 month of skin contact. It is a perfect introduction to the style.
Dila-o (dee-la-oh) is a new brand from the Teleda/Orgo winery with the ambition to make fantastic Georgian Qvevri wines that can promote traditional Georgian wine techniques among a broad segment of the US market by over delivering on story and quality for the price.
A couple of the "natural" wine bars which have opened, as well as a few restaurants with natural focused wine lists are hot on some Georgian wines. That looks like one I might enjoy. I certainly enjoy shopping in Brighton Beach/Sheepshead Bay - with its many Russian focused shops and supermarkets.
Monday night (it was still August, I think)...
This (under $15 on sale!) Vinho Verde, full of acidity, made nice with crab cakes.
