Georgia lists ancient temple Ateshgah in Tbilisi as site of national significance (21/02)

This article is super short (3 paragraphs) so I don’t have much to say as the title describes the main point of this article. I tried finding the “Georgian sources” APA says they’re getting info from, but I don’t think it’s in reference to other articles as this is the only I can find about it thus far (except for other articles referencing this one.)

The Unstoppable Progress In The Georgian Wine Scene (21/02)

This article has seven subheadings consisting of the first Wine Tourism Conference, the dimensions of Georgian wine, improving the quality of wine, the unique varieties, Pét-nats, places to enjoy wine in Tbilisi, and increased government support. So much is covered that it is quite difficult to summarize it into 2-3 sentences, but my personal favorites were in the unique varieties and the increased government support sections. They talked about how when Georgia was part of the USSR, they mostly produced only 2 types of wine, but local winemakers maintained smaller plots and continued growing other varieties, which is why there are so many unique grapes today! The other highlight is at the end of the increased government support section, Taste Georgia is mentioned which is awesome!
