IWSC 2024 Wine Judging in Georgia: judges’ impressions of Armenian wines

IWSC
Dec 13 2023
This year, our Wine Judging in Georgia grew into a regional event, with entries beyond Georgia itself. We were delighted to welcome wines from the neighbouring Armenia – a country with ancient wine traditions and an impressive collection of indigenous grapes. Out of around 50 Armenian entries more than a half were awarded with medals.

Following the tasting, our judge, Journalist and Broadcaster David Kermode caught up with Cat Lomax, IWSC judge and Independent Drinks Retail Consultant. Cat shared her opinion of the Armenian wines she tasted and highlighted several important tips and takeaway points for Armenian producers.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
