Postcard: Lunch in Republic of Georgia

Six hours after landing in Republic of Georgia, it's lunch time. Wine dealers, journalists, and scholars en route to the International Quevri Symposium in Republic of Georgia sit down to a quick lunch at Niko's restaurant near Shuamta forest. On the table: salty hard white cheese, honeycomb, tomato-cucumber salad, fried fish, spicy stewed eggplant, whey-stuffed dumplings, and pear and tarragon soda... For 60.
