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.

Host

Marani Vera

A growers' co-operative of four families from Kakheti.

Attribution

Qvevri winemaking is a Georgian tradition inscribed on the UNESCO intangible heritage list; each family names their village and their jar-maker.
Why Cue picked this

What I can actually back up

No ratings here. These are the signals I have, and where each one came from.
  • Poured by four grower families

    Everyone behind the table made one of the wines in front of you.

    Creator-verifiedSource: Host-submitted roster
  • All six from buried qvevri

    Clay-vessel fermentation, no steel or oak in the flight.

    Creator-verifiedSource: Co-operative tasting sheet
  • Twelve at the table

    One table, one sitting; the room doesn't hold more.

    Inferred by CueSource: Cue's reading of the venue

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

Plan it

Tell me the night and how many

Around ₾70 a person, paid to the co-operative. I'm not wired to a real box office yet, so I'll hold the details rather than pretend a seat is yours.
