About Us
In August 2015, I made my first of many trips to the country of Georgia. A country full of great history. A very diverse and beautiful country. A country, whose people, immediately welcomed me and treated me like family. I was introduced to a great culture, wonderful food, and very incredible wine. In fact Georgia is the birthplace of wine, making wine for over 8000 years. Every trip I made to Georgia included fellowship with friends over food and wine. As I tasted one great wine after another, I always mentioned how more Georgian wine is needed in the United States, and more need to be introduced to Georgian wine. That is what we are striving to do at Parsons Fine Imports, to bring fine wines from the birthplace of wine to you.
