 But when it comes to wine, most wine drinkers and restaurants have a blind spot. They focus their wine selections on either the "big 4" US producers or European wines.  If you were not aware, there is a small but good quality wine industry in Georgia.  Until 1907, Georgia was the sixth largest producer of US wine.  This effectively ended Georgia wine.  Outside the almost perfect environment of Napa, most of the world’s vineyards struggle against all odds to produce fine wine. just good wine that reflects Georgia.  Instead we should be looking for the flavor of Georgia and pair foods that complement the wine.  Same applies to Georgia wine. Next time you patron your local farm-to-table restaurant, check out their wine list for local wine.  Many have overlooked the beauty of north Georgia and hopped on one of thousands of flights out of Hartsfield to Napa, Bordeaux, or Tuscany in search of wine, food and the beauty of flowing hills of vineyards.  They have a variety of wines including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sangiovese and Viognier.  Frogtown also has wine dinners pairing their wines with really fine dining.  They grow a variety of grapes but produce a full menu of European style blends rather than single varietal wines.  I hope you will put away preconceived notions and take the time to explore Georgia wines in person or at a restaurant.  Hope to see you in Georgia wine country soon.
