How interesting. Would you happen to know any good labels and vintages that might be available for purchase in the US?


My general advice, not related only to Georgian wines, would be to seek small (boutique) producers in a mid-range ($15-30) category.

I can name a few good brands available in the US: Orgo, Baia's Wine, Rosha Winery (one of my favourite red wines).

Drop me an email (found in my profile), if my ex-importer/distributor still has some bottles remaining, I will try my best to send you some.


If you are in the SF Bay Area, Piala in Sebastopol and Healdsburg imports and sells Georgian wine.

They may ship to you in other parts of the US too (but I would not recommend it — natural wine degrades quite fast when shipped with traditional couriers)

It's sporadic to achieve and maintain the needed natural sulfur level in the wine. In most cases, you must add some sulfur to maintain wine stability for shipment. Many natural wine brands refuse to use any SO2 at all.

Imagine you're a small winery, poured your heart and did your best to make a great wine. Now it's time to ship overseas... by NOT adding any sulfur, you risk your product getting damaged. A small amount of sulfur is a small compromise you make to make your wine more stable and ready to be shipped overseas.


i bought from potomac wines some good georgian wines in the past. also total wine carries in it shops georgian wine
