About
The Golden Oriole, known as Bicho-Gogia in Georgian, is the bird whose springtime call is
recognized by everyone in Kakheti. Ornithologist-turned-winemaker Giorgi Rajebashvili named
his Rkatsiteli after this bird, featuring its elegant image on the label. Later, Giorgi’s
friends—Sandro Adamia and Irakli Evdoshvili, also known as the “Ugly Boys”—joined him. In
Kvemo Khodasheni, they expanded their winemaking efforts, producing Kisi and Saperavi,
leading to the birth of a new brand: Ugly Fellas' Wine—a product of friendship, passion, and joy.
We are three friends who started making natural wine in 2020. We have Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane,
Kisi and Saperavi grape varieties.
The cellar production is about 3000 bottles a year.
