Pairing Ojakhuri correctly — a note on tkhemali sauce

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Ojakhuri. I ordered it with tkhemali sauce and the rich with walnuts and spice elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. walnut paste in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Georgia claims one of the world's oldest continuous wine-making traditions dating back 8000 years. The a family Sunday table is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Ojakhuri with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
