Wine Trail Traveler Quarterly Features Georgia the “Cradle of Wine”

October 16, 2013 – 7:25 am

We just published the photos with captions of our recent visit to the country of Georgia that is known as the “Cradle of Wine.” Winemaking in Georgia has been traced back 8,000 years. If you have the opportunity to visit Georgia, you will discover wonderful people and a comforting mix of wine, winemaking, history and religion.
