Pairing Braai correctly — a note on Pinotage wine

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Braai. I ordered it with Pinotage wine and the robust and satisfying elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. braai wood and coals in particular became more prominent in a good way.

the braai is a cross-cultural South African institution that transcends racial and social divides. The a shebeen township tavern is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Braai with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
