Ready-made pick
Wine for a long dinner
Tannic reds that ask for food and time: they open over the evening rather than in the first glass.

Other picks
Starting points we keep, each one a saved set of answers. Open one and the bottles are computed the same way.
- Wine for khorovatsFatty meat off the coals calls for a red with enough tannin to cut through it. Here is what the catalog recommends.
- A gift under 10,000 AMDA bottle to give: own-vineyard estates and family wineries first, all within 10,000 AMD.
- Dry red for beginnersApproachable dry reds without harsh tannins — an easy first step into Armenian red wine, Areni and beyond.
- Try an Armenian karas wineThe karas is the Armenian clay vessel: wine ferments or ages in it the way it did centuries ago. Bottlings made in karas, to start with.
- Wine for a quiet eveningLight and undemanding bottles — nothing that needs a full table around it.
- Wine before the mealAn aperitif should sharpen the appetite, not fill you up: crisp whites and rosés, nothing heavy.
- Wine for a winter eveningFull-bodied reds — the warmth here comes from ripeness and structure, not from mulling the wine.
- Wine for slow sippingLong skin contact and barrel age change the pace of drinking: these bottles are meant to be followed, not finished.
- Wine for a special occasionEstates working their own land, with barrel age or real structure behind the bottle.
