  • Askaneli Wines
    ASKANELI't; BROTHERS 1880 From the very beginning, we decided to not spare money or efforts on using the most current technologies and inviting the best industry professionals with international work ex- perience. It is extremely important for me to be involved in the creation of the modern history of Georgian winemaking. Our country prides with its huge range of endemic grapes, many of which have been lost or simply forgotten. Revival of ancient varieties has become one of the important components for our development and we are continuously working a lot in this direction. We cherish traditions, but don’t fear experimenting, searching for new tastes and imple- menting new technologies. Thanks to this approach, we have created new wines from smaller vineyards that have unique terroir. Contributing to the global winemaking, yet step by step we create our signature style. We want our wines to be exceptional and recognizable, to have individuality and certainly the Georgian spirit. Constant development and quality growth has remained the cornerstone over the 20 years Gocha Chkhaidze of existence for Askaneli Brothers company. President of Askaneli Brothers Askaneli Brothers started in the village Askana in the region of Guria west Georgia near the Black Sea. It is interestingly to note, that even the name of the village is related to the activities of Askaneli since the son of Aeneas descendant of Dionysus was called Ascanius. Legend would have been just a good story if not for the great grandfather of the Askaneli’s, Anthimoz Chkhaidze. There in the winery vault built by him lays a pitcher dated 1880.

  • Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine
    NATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CENTER OF GEORGIA SAKPATENTI Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine OFFICIAL BULLETIN OF THE INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY SPECIAL EDITION NATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CENTER OF GEORGIA SAKPATENTI Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine TBILISI 2010 GEORGIA RUSSIAN FEDERATION ABKHAZETI SVANETI RACHA-LECHKHUMI SAMEGRELO BLAC K S E A IMERETI KARTLI GURIA KAKHETI Tbilisi SAMTSKHE- A DJ A R A -JAVAKHETI TURKEY AZERBAIJAN A R ME N I A PREFACE In Georgia, a country with rich culture of wine-growing and wine-making, the tradition of using the geographical name of the place of origin as the appellation of a wine has a long history. Although the territory of Georgia is not large, the number of these appellations is nevertheless significant. Each of them is distinguished by special characteristics, high quality and reputation, which is influenced by the unique environmental conditions of Georgia. After the entry into force of the legal framework governing the protection of appellations of origin of wines, 18 appellations of origin of Georgian wines have been registered at National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia “Sakpatenti”. The Law of Georgia “On Appellations of Origin and Geographical Indications of Goods” defines the concept of appellation of origin and geographical indication and stipulates: 1. An appellation of origin is a modern or historical name of a geographical place, region or, in exceptional cases, a name of a country (hereinafter “geographical area”), used to designate the goods: (a) originating within the given geographical area; (b) the specific quality and features of which are essentially or exclusively due to a particular geographical environment and human factors; (c) production, processing and preparation of which take place within the geographical area.

  • Romanov Buzz
    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Paul Kulikovsky №78 October 2014 150 years since the birth of Holy Martyr Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna By Paul Kulikovsky Born on 1st of November (old style 20 October) 1864, Her Grand Ducal Highness Princess Elisabeth Alexandra Louise Alice of Hessen and by Rhine, was the second child of Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hessen and by Rhine and British Princess Alice. Through her mother, she was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Princess Alice chose the name "Elisabeth" for her daughter after visiting the shrine of St. Elisabeth of Hungary, ancestress of the House of Hessen. Elisabeth was known as "Ella" within her family. In the autumn of 1878, diphtheria swept through the Hessen household, killing Elisabeth's youngest sister, Marie on 16 November, as well as her mother Alice on 14 December. Elisabeth was considered by many contemporaries as one of the most beautiful women in Europe at that time. Many became infatuated with Elisabeth, but it was Russian Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich who ultimately won Elisabeth's heart. Sergei and Elisabeth married on 15 (3) June 1884, at the Chapel of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. She became Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna. “Everyone fell in love with her from the moment she came to Russia from her beloved Darmstadt”, wrote one of Sergei's cousins. The couple settled in the Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace in St. Petersburg, but after Sergei was appointed Governor-General of Moscow by his elder brother, Tsar Alexander III, in 1892, they resided in the Governor palace. During the summer, they stayed at Ilyinskoe, an estate outside Moscow that Sergei had inherited from his mother.

  • Tbilisi As a Center of Crosscultural Interactions (The 19Th– Early 20Thcenturies)
    Khazar Journal Of Humanities and Social Sciences Special Issue, 2018 ©Khazar University Press, 2018 DOI: 10.5782/kjhss.2018.233.252 Tbilisi as a Center of Crosscultural Interactions (The 19th– early 20thCenturies) Nino Chikovani Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia The city of Tbilisi – the capital of Georgia, during its long period of existence, has been an interesting place of meeting and interaction of different cultures. In this context, the present paper deals with one of the most interesting periods in the history of the city. From the beginning of the 19th century, when the establishment of the Russian imperial rule started in the Caucasus, Tbilisi became an official political center of the region; political and economic changes, occurring during the second half of the 19th century, significantly influenced ethnic and religious composition of Tbilisi, its cultural lifetime and mode of life in general. For centuries-long period, Tbilisi, like other big cities (how much big does not matter in this case), was not only the Georgian city in ethnic terms; but also, it represented a blend of different religious and ethnic groups. Not only in a distant past, but just a couple of decades ago, when the phenomenon of the so called ‘city yards’ (which are often called as ‘Italian yards’ and which have almost disappeared from the city landscape) still existed in Tbilisi, their residents spoke several languages fluently. Ethnically and religiously mixed families were not rare. Such type of cities, termed as Cosmo-policies by some researchers, has an ability to transform a visitor, at least temporarily, into a member of “in-group”, in our case – into Tbilisian.

  • Georgian Wine Producers @LWF19
    LONDON WINE FAIR 2019 Georgian Wine Producers The small, mountainous and beautiful country of Georgia was hidden for decades from The West by the iron curtain. Bordered by the Black Sea, Russia, Turkey, and Armenia, and on the 'invasion route' from The Middle East, Georgia was coveted and controlled for centuries by powerful neighbours. Renowned for creativity, and love of song, food and rollicking hospitality, Georgia has wine as its lifeblood. Most families still make it, everyone drinks it, and it is deeply embedded in their national identity. The oldest evidence of wine-making was recently uncovered in a dig in the south of the country. For centuries, Georgian wine has been the darling of various incarnations of Russian and Soviet empires. In the last ten years, an independent and thriving Georgia has focussed on developing wine trade with The West. Fifteen wineries showed their wines here at the London Wine Fair 2019, these wine producers are invested, well- prepared to start working with the UK, and are highly motivated either to develop sales, or to find a new importer. GEORGIAN WINES LTD Their vineyard is located near a small river, Zangaura. The land once belonged to Merab’s great grandfather; he vividly recalls the stories his grandmother told of the Bolsheviks confiscating the property. Then, a small part was planted with Saperavi – which Merab still remembers the taste of, when he repurchased the vineyard in 2004, he knew that the only thing to plant was Saperavi. Although Merab’s family always owned some vines, and both his father and grandfather were winemakers, many were nevertheless sceptical about his venture into viticulture.

  • Anthology of Georgian Poetry
    ANTHOLOGY OF GEORGIAN POETRY Translated by VENERA URUSHADZE STATE PUBLISHING HOUSE «Soviet Georgia» Tbilisi 1958 PREFACE Nature and history have combined to make Georgia a land of poetry. Glistening peaks, majestic forests, sunny valleys, crystalline streams clamouring in deep gorges have a music of their own, which heard by the sensitive ear tends to breed poetic thought; while the incessant struggle of the Georgians against foreign invaders — Persians, Arabs, Mongols, Turks and others — has bred in them a sense of chivalry and a deep patriotism which found expression in many a lay, ballad and poem. Now the treasures of Georgian literature, both ancient and modern, are accessible to millions of our country's readers for they have been translated into many languages of the peoples of the Soviet Union. Except for the very few but beautiful translations of the Wardrops almost nothing has been translated from Georgian into English. The published works of Marjory Wardrop are — "Georgian Folk Tales", "The Hermit", a poem by Ilia Chavchavadze (included in this anthology), "Life of St. Nino", ''Wisdom and Lies" by Saba Sulkhan Orbeliani. But her chief work was the word by word translation of the great epic poem "The Knight in the Tiger's Skin" by Shota Rustaveli. Oliver Wardrop translated "Visramiani". Now, I have taken the responsibility upon myself to afford the English reader some of the treasures of Georgian poetry. This anthology, without pretending to be complete, aims at including the specimens of the varied poetry of the Georgian people from the beginning of its development till to-day. I shall not speak of the difficulties of translating into English from Georgian, even though it might serve as an excuse for some of my shortcomings.
