McGregor Vineyard is synonymous with Saperavi in the United States and was its only producer for decades.
This Saperavi wine flight is complemented with delicious, locally made, Georgian inspired foods prepared by Samantha Buyskes of Simply Red Events. When you make your reservation, please choose either a Saperavi Pairing Plate or a Vegetarian Saperavi Pairing Plate to enjoy with the featured Saperavi wines.
