  It's that time of the year again when wineries have begun (or have already!) bottled their early release 2022 wines. Midin once again kindly sent me some of their new releases to try*. This is Midin's third vintage and I have enjoyed seeing how the wines have changed since the winery's freshman vintage. It is especially interesting, as this Assyrian winery works with some varieties that few have ever heard of. I am still thrilled that my piece about them was posted on Jancis Robinson's website!

  I've had a few wines before from Szászi Birtok and now they're one of the wineries I routinely try to find when I'm in Budapest. The very first of their wines I had was a Kéknyelű which immediately became one of my favorite grapes. On a not so recent trip, I managed to snag another of their wines: a Rózsakő.

  If you've had only a few Georgian white wines, chances are pretty good that it was Rkatsiteli, that most ubiquitous of Georgian white grapes. I've never particularly enjoyed it, myself, and actively avoid it. Even through my infrequent trips to Georgia though, I've seen a rise in less common grapes (both white and red) and find many of them so much more enjoyable. Like Chinuri. Chinuri The Chinuri grape seems to originate in Kartli, which is very near Tbilisi. Greenish-yellow to amber when fully ripe, it is fairly disease resistant even to phylloxera and can often be found planted on its own roots. Berries are fleshy, juicy, and sweet with
