They Make Wine in Lebanon?!? Diving Into One of the World’s Oldest Wine Traditions

Not only do they make great wine  in Lebanon, the country has one of the oldest winemaking traditions in the world! The ancient Phoenicians produced wine there thousands of years ago and helped spread it throughout the Mediterranean. In this episode, we dig into Lebanon’s remarkable wine history and explore how it continues today despite many challenges and repeated threats to its survival. It is a story of extraordinary grit and perseverance. We also taste and review two Lebanese wines, including one from the internationally renowned Château Musar. And, as a bonus, this week’s “Wine in the News” story is totally shocking, and definitely not for the queasy. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Wines reviewed in this episode: 2021 Massaya Le Colombier Rouge and 2022 Château Musar Jeune Red
