Khorovats exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Khorovats made with real commitment to pomegranate and technique. The sweet-sour from pomegranate and apricot result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Armenia claims the world's oldest winery dating to 4100 BC and has a deep wine-making heritage. The an Armenian diaspora community event was exactly right for this kind of eating. pomegranate wine was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
