After 18 years of winemaking as a hobby, Tevan Poghosyan launched MOONQ Wines in 2021.
The choice of name “MOONQ” which represents the resilience of the community that stays together, recovers, and continues to create (best done with a glass of wine!)
This goes back to his childhood memory:
Once upon a time, my grandpa sat me down in the corner of the room, while friends and family were cheering with wine glasses, toasting for the “here and now.” He told me, “If you’re lucky enough, one day you’ll too sit your grandson down in the corner of the room, and tell about the magic of wine, how it heals, unites, and binds.” And so, I grew up with a dream.
In fact, he discovered that the grape he had been using for 18 years was in fact a long forgotten variety “Nrneni”
