The representatives of the commercial sector and the American marketing company Colangelo & Partners, the contractor of the National Wine Agency of Georgia, were among the guests. In order to find potential importers and, therefore, promote export growth, presenting Georgian wine to American professionals is particularly important.
The members of the 7-member group visited the Georgian wine-producing companies in Kakheti, where they learned about the history and traditions of the Georgian wine-making, and tasted both classical and traditional Georgian wines on the spot.
"First of all, I would like to thank the National Wine Agency for inviting us. In Georgia, there is a European style of winemaking, and they also respect heritage and tradition; The combination of the two is wonderful. We really liked Qvevri wine. I always say that the winemakers are the artists and we, as salespeople and sommeliers, are the storytellers," - a member of the group, Sandra Rose Marie Spalding, said.

Irakli Cholobargia, Adviser of the National Wine Agency of Georgia, held a presentation on the history, culture and field of viticulture and winemaking of Georgian wine at the mentioned event.
