Georgian Wine Tasting March 23 at Supra (Industry)
Hey friends, Nycci Nellis asked me to pass this along to VV friends: A couple of fantastic Georgian winemakers are going to be at Supra for a casual trade tasting: Gvantsa Abuladze (Baia’s Wine) and Gogi Dakishvili (Orgo). Noel is also flying in from Georgia, and they’re pouring through a range of wines from the portfolio — including some back vintages and new bottles.
It’s a drop-in tasting 12:30–2:30 pm, with snacks (they had me at khachapuri).

Would be fun to see you there!

Hi Maura — welcome to DC! Excited to see more wine folks moving into the area.
I’ve been in DC for about 8 years and am a big wine enthusiast (I’m actually starting sommelier classes soon), so I love seeing people build community around wine here. Your rooftop sundowner tasting series sounds amazing — DC rooftops + good wine is always a winning combo.
A couple wine shops that have been my go-to spots:
• Wardman Wines – incredible selection and the staff are always down to talk through regions and producers. • Capitol Fine Wine and Spirits – another great neighborhood spot with thoughtful curation.
Some other DC spots that are great and might be worth connecting with:
• The Urban Grape – a Black-owned wine shop with a really intentional approach to how they organize wine using a “progressive scale” focused on body rather than traditional categories. • Domestique Wine – great natural and small-producer wines and they do tastings/events pretty regularly. • Cork Wine Bar & Market – fantastic wine bar with a really thoughtful list and market selection. • Grand Cata – focuses on wines and spirits from the African diaspora and Latin America.
Would love to connect sometime — just added your IG. Always happy to support wine initiatives in the city and share neighborhood recs as you get settled. Looking forward to seeing the tasting series come together!
