  • Best Wine Bar List – Dear Sainte Éloise
    “Dear Sainte Éloise, if you exist, please send me some money. I don’t ask for much — just enough to buy some bread and a bottle of wine” – George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London, 1933 We love this story. A young and desperate protagonist, destitute on the streets of Paris, praying to a photograph of a saint who is later revealed to be nothing more than a famous prostitute. It’s a funny scene with a great punchline and best of all: his wish comes true. He gets his wine and his bread, and he is restored. We too understand the happiness that simple pleasures can provide, when a solitary glass of wine can change your entire day. That’s why we built Dear Sainte Éloise – a place of simple pleasures and replenishment, and happiness, too. We like to think of this bar as a place where journeys are made and connections are forged. The pages of this wine list are filled with wines that have the ability to transport the drinker away from the everyday to fantastic faraway lands – from the beloved wine regions of Australia, to the incomparable sites of Europe, and beyond. This is a list that celebrates the great winemakers, who have defined what wine can and should be. But it’s a list that also gives a voice to the young, entrepreneurial and experimental winemakers of the present – those who will help define wine’s future. We believe that wine is an interconnected community full of sharing and learning, creating and drinking.

  • 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.
