Georgian Wine Doesn’t Chase Trends — It Outlasts Them
Trends in wine are loud and short-lived—new grapes get spotlighted, flashy styles flood lists for a season, clever stories try to capture the moment. Georgian wine moves at a different pace.

Georgian Wine Doesn’t Need a Story — It Needs a Second Glass
Georgian wine is often introduced with history first.Eight thousand years. Clay vessels. Ancient traditions. Long explanations before the bottle is even opened.

Spotlight on Kisi: The “Forgotten” Grape That’s Becoming a Sommelier Favorite
For years, Kisi lived quietly in the background of Georgian wine. It wasn’t extinct, but it was overlooked—overshadowed by Rkatsiteli’s ubiquity and Saperavi’s global recognition.

At Corus Imports, we’re seeing growing interest in Kisi not because it’s rare, but because it’s expressive, versatile, and deeply tied to place. Once rediscovered, it tends to stay...
