GEORGIA’S ON MY MIND

TBILISI AND BEYOND

“Paul McCartney’s riff on the former Soviet Bloc country of Georgia is striking a chord with me in 2018. David Jones, chairman and cofounder of the travel outfitter Nomad Hill, has been singing Georgia’s praises to me for the past couple years, and it’s time I heeded his advice. In addition to the ancient capital of Tbilisi— where new and impending hotels include a Millennium Biltmore and an Inter Continental—I’ll head for the peaks of Gudauri for some heli-skiing and to the countryside of Kakheti for wine tasting in one of the world’s oldest viticultural regions.” —BRUCE WALLIN
