Ingredient appreciation — what makes Badrijani Nigvzit special

What sets Badrijani Nigvzit apart is the handling of walnut paste. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the tangy and herbal result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Georgia claims one of the world's oldest continuous wine-making traditions dating back 8000 years. The a wine cellar dinner atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had chacha grape pomace spirit as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Badrijani Nigvzit is the place to start.
