Churchkhela

(March 2016) We were welcomed to Khareba Winery by an amazing site.  A group of polyphonic singers seranaded us, while chefs prepared traditional Georgian food over an open fire (see video here).  We were invited to help cook fresh breads, dumplings filled with herbs and minced lamb, and the amazing "churchkhela," which look like long salamis. In actuality they are walnuts placed on a string and then dipped in a molten pot of hot grape juice. They taste almost like candy.
