2022 Pheasant’s Tears Soif da Vsvam

It’s not an exaggeration to say that John Wurdeman, an American artist, musician, restaurateur, and winemaker, is responsible for igniting global interest in the wines and winemaking traditions of Georgia. Considered by some to be the birthplace of wine, Georgia is one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world, with evidence of vinification stretching back 8,000 years. John and his business partner, Gela Patalishvili, opened Pheasant’s Tears in 2007, focusing on tracking down and reviving near-extinct native grape varieties from all around Georgia, which is home to over 500 indigenous varieties.

Soif da Vsvam is a juicy , mineral laden red, drink it while you watch the segment on Pheasant’s Tears, featured in Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown season 7 episode 5.
