The story goes that when God made the earth, he distributed pieces of land to the different populations. But he could not find the Georgians.
After scanning the surface of the earth he found them in the middle of a week-long food and wine feast (Supra), toasting, singing and dancing. Unfortunately God had already distributed all plots of land, but found Georgians so nice and hospitable that he decided to give them the nicest, most beautiful and fertile piece on earth, one he had kept for himself.
