The Amber Flight
Tbilisi · Vera district · Wednesdays and Saturdays · 18:00, about two hours
The night itself
Six amber wines, all rkatsiteli, all fermented in clay under the floor — and none of them tasting like each other. The pourers are the growers, so the conversation runs to weather and jars rather than tasting notes. Bread and cheese, no spitting bucket, no scores.

Cue: Ask about the jars, not the vintages. That's where the real difference between these six sits.
