The Country of Georgia-It's Presence in NYC for Wine and Food

People from Georgia have been making and enjoying wine for over 8,000 years, and it should come as no surprise that the country’s unique cuisine pairs wonderfully with the various styles of Georgian wine, with everything from amber and sparkling, to dry whites and semi-sweet reds. Food and wine are closely intertwined in Georgian culture, especially with their tradition of supras that are hours-long celebratory feasts where the drinks and eats are flowing, led by a tamada or toastmaster who moves the supra along through multiple rounds of toasts.

For all those that may not have the country of Georgia in their travel plans, there are plenty of Georgian restaurants and bars in New York City that embody the same spirit of abundance, hospitality, and connection.
