Their winery was literally taken by the soldiers. Meet Alexandra Kaprielian of Takri Wines

Jun 28, 2022

Why are wineries taken during the war? The Germans invaded France and held up in Bordeaux and other places. The Romans did the same. And in modern history, Azerbaijan did it to Armenia. History repeats itself. This is the second story we have heard on Wine Talks of the very taking of a winery in the region. This one is a bit different, it was taken by force rather than through political boundary changes.

The Kaprelian family is resilient. They will not allow the spirit of their ancestors to be squelched. They are rising up again to reestablish the Takri brand.

I met up with Alexandra Kaprielian in Soho New York at the Soho Club to have a chat.
