The famous French natural winemaker Thierry Puzelat will direct two significant tastings in the capital of France in the beginning of March. Georgian natural winemakers will take part in these events. Thierry Puzelat is an admirer of the Georgian wine and highly respects ancient traditions of the winemaking in Georgia.
