You know what they say. You can't miss what you've never had, but then someone hands you a slice of coulibiac with a glass of mtsvane and you wonder if you have ever truly lived.
So it is with Gray and Gray Bread and Wine, a collaboration between fine-dining-chef-turned-baker Boris Portnoy of Northcote's All Are Welcome bakery and winemaker Mitch Sokolin, which celebrates Russia (their shared heritage) and Georgia (where they made wine together), thus filling a major dining gap for Melburnians we barely knew was there.
Speaking of which – and this is an important point for anyone who wishes to experience the joys of drinking Georgian wines and eating honey cake – you will quite literally not realise that Gray and Gray is there.
