(4/2025) Pheasant's Tears is the project of American John Wurdeman and Georgian Gela Patalishvili. Begun in 2007, this winery was one of the first Georgian wineries to see wide acclaim in the United States. The name comes from a Georgian folktale that tells that only a superlative wine could make a pheasant cry tears of joy. A rare wine in the Pheasant's Tears lineup not aged in qvevri and also made without skin contact, the Mtsvane from Bodbiskhevi is bursting with white flowers, lime zest, orchard fruits, and luscious acidity.
