About this Event

Join as we bring Sip School to , the beloved woman‑owned Georgian restaurant in Gramercy, for an afternoon that blends wine, culture, and serious hospitality.

This special edition features Ruso Chochishvili of — a seventh‑generation Georgian winemaker whose family has been crafting wine for over two centuries. Ruso will be co‑hosting the tasting in person, guiding you through a flight of three indigenous‑grape Georgian wines, each made in the traditional qvevri method.

And because this is No Wine Left Behind, we’re not just tasting — we’re playing. You’ll take part in a gamified blind wine tasting (multiple choice!) featuring Ruso’s wines. Guess the grape, the region, the style, and more. Friendly competition encouraged.


What to expect
  • 🍹 A welcome drink to kick things off
  • 🍷 A flight of 3 wines made by Ruso herself
  • 🎮 A guided gamified blind wine tasting (multiple choice!)
  • 📖 Stories, culture, and a deep dive into Georgia’s ancient winemaking traditions
  • 🏆 Prizes for top scorers including NWLB and restaurant giveaways

Make it a whole afternoon

Chito Gvrito’s kitchen is the real deal. Come early for lunch or stay late for dinner — khachapuri, khinkali, and qvevri wine are a trio you don’t rush.
