Georgian Wine Trip

In October we went up to Georgia in search of Georgian wines from the country's eastern wine region, Kakheti. While eventually we found more grapes than wine, the views along the way were impressive. Unfortunately, the photos north across the Teliani Valley and Alazani River toward the Greater Caucasus Range didn't come out that well, but some of the better photos are below.
