Exploring Ukraine: The Wines and The Region
Exploring Ukraine: The Wines and The Region
Discover the soul of a rising wine region as we journey to the shores of the Black Sea for an evening dedicated to the wines of Shabo, one of Ukraine’s most historic and forward-thinking wineries. Join us at Cork & Fork this December for a tasting that celebrates resilience, craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of Ukrainian winemaking. Founded over two centuries ago near the Dniester estuary in Odesa, Shabo stands at the crossroads of tradition and modern innovation. Under the vision of winemaker Giorgi Lukuridze, the estate has become a powerful symbol of Ukraine’s wine renaissance—producing beautifully expressive wines that capture both the strength of the land and the courage of its people. From crisp whites and elegant rosés to structured reds and refined sparkling wines, each bottle tells a story rooted in heritage and renewed through hope. This special tasting also honors the partnership between Shabo and Spyrt Worldwide, its U.S. importer founded by Sam Lerman. Lerman’s connection to Ukraine began in the earliest days of the war, when he worked directly from a safe house to support producers like Shabo. Today, part of every sale contributes to Invictus Global Response, an organization dedicated to clearing landmines in affected regions—turning each glass poured into a gesture of solidarity and peace. Join us to explore a remarkable collection that includes both the approachable Shabo Original series and the nuanced elegance of the Reserve and Grand Reserve wines, along with traditional Qvevri-fermented bottlings that reflect the region’s ancient heritage. This evening is more than a tasting—it’s a celebration of resilience, discovery, and the unyielding beauty of wine made with purpose. Raise your glass to courage, craft, and connection. Ukraine’s wines are ready for the world.
