Wine

This past weekend I spent a night with the old host family in Kortaneti. It was a good time, and we made chunkhrela? with the neighbors at their house. Its basically a paste made from grapejuice and flour that srings of walnuts are dipped into and dried. mmm mmm good.
Also coming from this grape juice is homemade wine, which Georgians are extremely proud of. The wine here is made differently from the normal French process we are used to, and well, read this article for more information : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_wine

Luckily for some lucky people back in the states, I was woken up bright and early this morning by my host dad Larry who was very impatient wanting to discuss the logistics of how we were going to get ten liters of his wine back to America for my friends (and well, basically Kyle who he is in completely in love with) to drink. It was not the most pleasant way to wake up, and those of you who know Larry can only imagine the thorough and illogical questions and assumptions that came from the early morning conversation, but I am looking into it, maybe not ten liters, but enough for a taste =)

There is also a lot of rules and traditions to how and when you can drink the wine at a supra, so I'll post more about this later on!
