Thank you so much for representing my country in a such beautiful way ❤🇬🇪
agree ,but nothing new for someone who has 70 different types of wines in Poland .I expected to describe some of them in details
@@piotrwojdelko1150 70.. not 500. like in Georgia.
We drank this traditionally made wine during an archeological exhibit about Georgia's ancient history. The best wine ever!!
I had the incredible good fortune of being a Peace Corps volunteer in Georgia over 20 years ago. I'm so excited to see the incredible growth of this unique and vibrant place! Sakartvelos gaumarjos!
I was so blessed to visit this winery 🍷 this October. It is unbelievable feeling to be there
What a great experience..I would love to visit!
I'm in Georgia now. I may have to give it a visit too!
@@tupisamba211 Sighnaghi town is only one and a half hours from Tbilisi
*To have visited
Thank you for highlighting a country that is not often highlighted. What a beautiful, rich culture. Might have to book a ticket. Or at the very least track down a bottle of Georgian wine.
my thoughts exactly!
add Armenia to your trip to Georgia, highly recommended.
Choosing one bottle of wine is a very difficult task because we have so many different wines.😊
I love Georgia! And the incredibly warm Georgian people. Headed back for my second trip in a few weeks
🧢
If you're a wine and food lover who wants to explore the history of one of the world's oldest countries, this video is a must-see🍷💖
We really didnt need that input
How so steve?
I had a wonderful time in Georgia in 2022 🇬🇪 I took a tour to the Kakheti region in winter, it was snowy and so cozy!
"For the Love of Wine: My Odyssey through the World's Most Ancient Wine Culture" written by Alice Feiring is a wonderful book about Georgian wine for those who want a deeper exploration of Georgian wine.
Thank you for the tip!
I discovered Georgian Amber wine 3 or 4 years ago. It appealed to my love of history and culture. I wasn’t even much of a wine drinker. But now I share it with my friends and family and feel blessed to do so. ❤😊❤
I have quite a few Georgian amber wines in my wine fridge now, as do most of my friends. Everything I have tasted from Georgia has been enjoyable.
Georgian wine and food are a joy and dearly missed
I fell in love with Georgian wine. I've got extensive knowledge and experience I gained last year from my somm friend here in state side.
The Republic of Georgia 🇬🇪 is a magnificent country with fantastic food, wine, and people.
Please go visit!
Thank you for such a beautiful presentation of the culture of my country .I am so proud of being Georgian ❤🇬🇪🇺🇸
Lot of people in Europe don't know wine was invented in Georgia. Georgian wine is underrated.
@@SuperSilkwood wine was INVENTED? People build spaceships and are still humblest persons whatsoever
@@kalebind1, better way would be to say it originated in Shulaveri-Shomu culture, on the territory of modern-day Georgia.
Beautiful story 60 minutes, thank you!!! For Georgia🥂
❤
Georgia has been #1 on my list of places to travel for a long time. 🇬🇪🇺🇸
Genghis Khan, please do not visit Georgia. We are still recovering from Russian invasion
But didn’t you visit in the 13th century? 😉😂😂
I highly recommend it. I moved there in 2021 and spent almost a year there. I miss it dearly and am hoping to move back next year. If you get the chance, please go. It's a beautiful country. ❤️
Not again please, you came here 800 years ago and we still haven't recovered... And if you visit anyway, don't bring your crazy grandsons again, let them go to Armenia instead, thanks!
Do not again genghis khan 🤣🤣
What a great piece. It really paints a charming picture of several aspects of Georgian society.
Sweet country proud being a georgian
Thanks for having us🥰
On of the best countries in the world 🌍 with rich culture ❤
🙏❤
Старинные грузинские рецепты!🤌 Храните их и передавайте из поколения в поколения!☝️🙏👍
Yes,this my Country,with Big Hearts So proud I am GEORGIAN..TBILISI. MISS,YOT. LOVE🇬🇪🇬🇪🇺🇸🇺🇸🌏🌏❤️💜💙💜USA 🇺🇸
I’m American, and I love the fascinating history of Georgia. And the delicious wine. In America we take freedom and prosperity for granted. So different than Georgia. I hope I can visit some day. The food looks so delicious!!❤😊❤
One of the countris everyone should visit, realy fasinating
Georgia is a divine and blessed place in a most peculiar way. There is a mysterious power that dwells on this tiny but strong in spirit country. For mileniums they have kept their religious identity, traditions and very unique language. Many times outnumbered by Muslims and Mongol invaders they managed to rise up from the ashes. Nothing short of a miracle they exist today. Incredible people, Incredible land. All the love to you!❤
Its the power of their Orthodox faith ☦️ Its a land filled with saints.
Kudos to the these Georgians who keep this, one of Bacchus' oldest haunts alive and well.
Excellent reporting ! Many thanks from Georgians ❤❤❤
In the UK, you can get Georgian wine from Adnams, The Oxford Wine Company, The Cambridge Wine Company, Laithwaites and Evington Wines in Leicester.
Yep yep , The best 🍷 and the glorious heartwarming monks🙏🏼 blessings ✝️🕊️
What a beautiful episode! Amazing old nations around us
Beautiful story. Go Georgia!
It’s fascinating how that guy from New Mexico’s accent changed in the years he has been there. It almost sounds slightly Irish at times.
I noticed that too. His English accent sounds like a mix of American, Irish, Posh, and Georgian. LOL.
It’s a mix of fancy pants and frilly frocks!
He has Kakhetian accent😂😂
Many people right their own story😉
The timing on this is perfect. I'm about to hop on a flight to Tbilisi now 😻
I will definitely be going on some of these wine tours 🍷
So beautiful the country of Georgia so rich in culture and flavor, Im so happy this little nation has survived and flourishing. This is a must on my travels God bless
I LOVE Georgian wine. I recommend it to everyone that prefers red wine. I didn’t even like wine until I sampled theirs. Cannot recommend it highly enough. ❤🍾
Any brand you recomend?
Story Winery
Excellent segment. I’ve had some wonderful wines from in and around Georgia including Armenia and Moldova.
Good,beautiful country,ancient history ❤🇬🇪🌺
That was much, much more than I expected. It’s no wonder the wine maker decided to make it his new home!
Epic journalism
I never liked wine but watching this makes me curious to try their wine.
I always wanted to become an Vitner before anything and because of where I was living in Fort Collins Colorado I became eventually a brewmaster. My father is a soil scientist and agronomist and did a lot of work in the surrounding towns of Tbilisi with grape growers. But mostly in Azerbaijan focusing on hazelnuts pomegranates and table grapes. I very much would love to take the knowledge I have learned from him along with my knowledge of zymology and to work with these people to make the best wine in the world.
Vintner 🎉
You need to preserve the hops and grape varieties found all across the US. There sre varieties i find wild in NY that arent available anywhere. Especially along decomissioned railroad tracks.
Do it! Become the Colorado master of Qvevri wine. I’ll be your first customer.
Oh yes, once you've tried good amber qvevri wine, there's no going back. My favorite wine now.
As an American from Slovak descent I have lots of respect for Georgia for resisting colonization by Russia and preserving an epic and ancient culture and language.
As a weed farmer and breeder I have lots of respect for these wine growers and breeders and the gardeners who preserved landrace genetics so that now people can bring back and breed refreshing varieties of wines they haven't tried so far in their lifetime.
I don't agree with French wines being easier to pronounce than Georgian the Georgian language is way easier to pronounce than French to me.
One of my favorite countries
I'm reminded of Le Carre's "Single & Single" - the old Georgian making his wine his way
This is good. Food and drink are such deep parts of every culture. Especially things that are so dependent on the local climate, like wine.
Fascinating video and insight into Georgian culture, history, cuisine and wine. There is some research suggesting that wine making in Georgia may go back even further to 11,000 years. I think their wines are available in most wine markets nowadays and they are being sought out and drank by more and more people. Cheers!
They are deeply unpopular, and hard to find and less and less drinkers for them nowadays, the entire industry is trending down but fringe nations are basically unknown people who live in the countries drink the wine it isnt exported as we dont have a market for it. The big issue is that idiot kids dont want to drink wine despite the fact that its one of the most ancient beverages only mead is older. I am a winery owner and professional winemaker with years of experience in the industry,
Only expats drink them. I live in Canada and worked with Russian and Georgian guys , so I was curious to try their wine (Saperavi). Definitely ...meh.
@@pilsplease7561 what do you mean they are not being exported? From what I can tell Georgia's wine exports have been increasing progressively and I've been able to find them in some stores.
@@tudvalstone Georgia exports over 100 million bottles per year. Are you saying a tiny nation drinks that much wine in third countries all by themselves? Doesn't seem plausible.
@@tudvalstone, you didn't like Saperavi? Are you sure it was a real deal and not some fabricated garbage? The quality can vary.
Looked like a joyous experience.
I'd love to travel there someday 😊
I had he pleasure Georgia and we have many businesses there to help the people 🇬🇪 I love this country
Thank you 60 min ❤
It's also postulated that Georgia is the origin of the Apple tree. Also that it was the end of the Greek voyage remembered in legend as the legend of "Jason and the Argonauts"
not to nitpick, Georgia is the site of Colchis, visited by Jason & The Argonauts, and home to Medea and the Golden Fleece. The Odyssey is more concerned with getting back to Greece from Turkey :)
@@jaykpjohnson ok thanks. I grew up watching those movies and get them mixed up. Michael Wood did a documentary following the route they may have taken. He concluded the golden fleece was in Afghanistan where they wash sand over fleece and gold gets caught up in the hairs of the fleece.
The story of Argonauts is a part of the Georgian mythology, but it's not historically accurate. That said, the Greeks indeed visited Colchis and even founded several Georgian coastline cities.
I've never heard about the apple tree. Are you sure?
@@GeorgeGzirishvili I don't know where I thought I'd learned apples originated from Georgia. But just checking Wikipedia and it said central Asia. When I checked Argonauts it said they were a "band of heroes in Greek mythology, who in the years before the Trojan War (around 1300 BC)" and that they were named after their ship the Argo built by the Greek Argus.
@@GeorgeGzirishvili The doc showing the catching of gold with a fleece is at - Searching For Jason And The Argonauts | Greek Mythology Documentary |
Alright who is in for a pilgrimage to Georgia, what a warmth you feel from this coverage.
Eastern Europe is very rich in history. That's underrated. If I ever win the lottery, I'd have a choice to visit Europe, France, Italy, and Spain is out of the question, as for Ukraine, Poland, Georgia, and Moldova is what I would visit
I want to try Georgian wine since it's a taste of history
Georgia is the only place on earth legit with the Best wines. No cap.
Thank you so much for this amazing video ^_^
#Georgia land of wine 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
I will visit Georgia one Golden day❤
Thank you ❤
Gamarjoba Georgians!
As a Top Gear and Grand Tour watcher I knew this :)
Georgians were always known as the best cooks in the Soviet Union. Kindzmarauli is a favorite Georgian wine of many of them.
shhh
Add something more condenscending. That Georgians are good at singing and dancing (implying we're not good at anything else)
@@Akatosh86just take a compliment once in a while
Khachapuri and Khinkali with Kindzmarauli prosto gift from god
I loved this little feature on 60 minutes. Funny to see them squeeze in the anti-communism. Amazing country
Good presentation .
I got some “orange” wine from Arizona. Excited to see what it’s all about.
How long do we need to wait till Georgia is no longer introduced with this "former Soviet republic" tag?
As long as there is a well known state in America called Georgia. Are you trying to communicate effectively? Or are you ok with causing nothing but confusion, requiring more explanations which ultimately leads you referring it to the Former Soviet Republic Georgia. None of this was necessary until Georgia dropped 'the Republic of Georgia' designation. Granted, it's no longer a Republic, in the former Soviet sense of the word. But dropping that name had only caused confusion for the rest of the world. Ultimately, there's no way around it.
@@bearlh40, I say: "Republic of Georgia - a transcontinental country located in Eastern Europe and Western Asia". But I think we should bring a "Republic of" back into the official name as well.
@@GeorgeGzirishvili zustad.
Until Ukraine beats Russia in the current war.
@@chadjcraseI agree
After a few glasses,get up & dance,hell yeah.
Awesome!
so interesting!
Merry Christmas!
“Tradition includes innovation “ that’s a very American value I’m proud to say….looking ahead, not to the past.
Super symmetrical super symmetry.🇺🇸
Can someone tell the editors to stop referring to Georgia, Ukraine, Estonia etc as 'post-soviet countries'? Asking from the post-British country of Canada.
Love it.
That makes no sense...Canada is still a Commonwealth Realm. The only reason anyone would post such a disingenuous comment is to imply that the Soviet Union was actually pretty good and you want to return to a Communist state?
"Stop referring to Georgia, Ukraine, Estonia etc as 'post-soviet countries'.

17:10 IS THAT A SUPRA!?
Yes, it's a supra. The Tamada sits at the head of the table. Often making a longer toast before drinking. The guests follow with a toast on the same topic and usually drink individually all the way around the table. The Merekipe is there to pour more wine. And all the food and wine that keeps coming and coming.
Best wines everrrrr
GREETINGS FROM TBILISI
She was a great human being :)
She was a human being :)
I am now on a quest to find somme of this wine!
Fans of Kate Bush will recognize the traditional Georgian chant sampled on her album Hounds of Love back in 1985.
Wow David Letterman is really doing a lot since his retirement from late night. Happy for him!
This comment made me laugh so hard. Thank you
Gloria a ti , señor , por todo / viva Christo Rey
🙏❤
This interviewer soooo American 🇺🇸- “We hear of guests from hell” lol😮
Well the interviewer knew the assignment.😂😂
Being a monk has its perks.
❤❤❤🙏🙂🌏🤗 Thankyou 😊I ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO 🍇🍷🧀🍞
Reminds me of Black Books S1E3
ქართული ღვინო ❤ 🍷 🇬🇪
tradition is innovation strong statement
I guess this is where Jeff Albertson went. Nice to see he’s doing well.
Forget the wine, what about the KHINKALI ??
singing 17:17 dancing 17:40
I miss pkhali🙂
Indeed, wine blessed by God.
Thank you for visiting Georgia and introducing this underrated country to the world!❤❤
.
.
P.s. Two things i want to say:
First, the chef, Tikuna introduced Tolma as a part of Georgian cuisine, which is partially true, while it is part of Georgian cuisine, the dish is Turkish😕
Second thing is that Supra was the poorest one I've seen in Georgia😂😂 we usually have a lot more food on average Georgian dinner.
Dumbledore drinking wine
Where can I purchase an authentic Georgian wine in United States? Does anyone know?
Alcoholic Holy Men? I can get behind that! 😎
You should see priests in Russia. It's kind of swept under the rug but is widespread.
The fact that they love wine doesn't mean they're alcoholic lol
@@finrodfelagund8668 It's a fine line. Drinking the ''blood of Christ'' every day has its side effects.
@@incumbentvinyl9291 Normal wine is not the Blood of Christ. Blood of Christ is specifically the wine we drink on Sundays. Just like normal bread is not the Body of Christ. God bless!
Men are not classified like beverages - non-alcoholic vs alcoholic 🤣🤣🤣. Mankind has been consuming alcohol for eons and somehow (by miracle) survived to this age... lol.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They look high as hail.
I can tell that monk has crazy rizz
Why is it that every good thing among Humanity is found inside a Church or Cathedral, a sign for the wise...
