As the U.S. importer for the Vinoterra wines (made by Gogi Dakishvili, who Mamuka respectfully and correctly mentions as one of the country's best winemakers!) as well as the Mildiani brand (from Tsinandali, and one that is most eager to battle for U.S. market share in the $9/bottle price range), it has been a truly fascinating experience. I myself first began with the USAID effort in 2007, and even with 25 years in the wines business at that time, had never been associated with a region so rich in history and so deserving of a serious place in the mind of the American wine drinker. We have much to do and a difficult battle to fight in the current economic climate here - not to mention a glut of wines from around the world and intense competition every day - but as Georgia has proven in so many ways and at so many times, it is tough enough and dedicated enough to handle it. Gaumarjos! Michael, thanks for the detailed attention to this important topic in your article.
