Begos' friends by Niko Pirosmani. A tamada holding a kantsi (horn) and introducing a toast at a keipi (festive supra)
Regardless of size and type, a supra is always led by a tamada, or toastmaster, who introduces each toast during the feast. The tamada is elected by the banqueting guests or chosen by the host. A successful tamada must possess great rhetorical skill and be able to consume a large amount of alcohol without showing signs of drunkenness. During the meal, the tamada will propose a toast, and then speak at some length about the topic. The guests raise their glasses, but do not drink. After the tamada has spoken, the toast continues, often in a generally counter-clockwise direction (to the right). The next guest who wishes to speak raises their glass, holds forth, and then drains their glass. If a guest does not wish to speak, they may drink from their glass after some words that particularly resonate for him or her. Eating is entirely appropriate during toasts, but talking is frowned upon. Once everyone who wishes to speak on the theme has done so, the tamada proposes a new toast, and the cycle begins again. Some popular traditional themes include toasts to God, Georgia, family, the mother of God, various saints, friends, ancestors, and so on. However, the theme of each toast is up to the tamada, who should be able to tailor his or her toasts to the occasion.
A keipi toast is called sadghegrdzelo (სადღეგრძელო, [sadɣɛɡrdzɛlɔ]), while a kelekhi toast is called a shesandobari (შესანდობარი,
The first toast should always be to God  
The second toast should be to Georgia (and the nations of those in attendance as a sign of hospitality)
The third toast should be to mothers and children – though this was sometimes changed up depending on where the Supra was held, and what it was held for- so toasting Bride and Groom, specific saints, etc. could go here- though mothers, and the next generation, are incredibly important to Georgians. Additional toasts go to saints, family members, and on to topics- anything the Tamada and the guests would find moving. One of our supras had over 12 toasts!   I am working on an idea for a traditional supra sometime soon- of course with the help of my friend who invited us to his family’s home for our first supra in Georgia. It is a tradition I’d love to bring to my friends and family who weren’t on the trip with us.   When you have good wine, good food, and good friends,what more do you need?
