When it is, it’s worth noting and considering. Someone’s put it there for a reason, even if rosé is universally considered not to be age-worthy. Herein lies the enticement: Serge Hochar, beloved and recently passed founder of Musar, adored rosé Champagne. Like vintage Champagne, he didn’t make this rosé every year. This dry, still wine with mild acidity is reminiscent of a basket of strawberries steeped in Lebanon’s captivating herbal teas that burst of fragrant rose hip, sage, rosemary and juicy apricots. 055 Patz & Hall Chardonnay 2016 Sonoma Coast, California 98 Chardonnay Heirloom clone aromas of white flowers and jasmine are soon followed by exotic layers of mango and papaya, as well as notes of green apple and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, the dramatic flavors are knit together by a dusty textural note from the lees stirring that adds nuance and structure . 014 IXSIR ‘EL’ 2014 Batroun, Lebanon 99 Viognier, Chardonnay A very limited production white wine from a new winery that has quickly gained a huge following. This wine is full-bodied with toasty notes and balanced with tones of lemon zest and fresh herbs. 251 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Marlborough, New Zealand 65 Sauvignon Blanc A vibrant mix of nectarines, yellow peaches and cassis combines with the bright fragrance of lemon zest laced with musky, jasmine-like floral nuances. The palate is packed with ripe stone fruit, melons and mandarin creating a succulent tropical-fruited style with that classic Marlborough zing 331 Alheit ‘Cartology’ 2016 Western Cape, africa 125 Chenin Blanc, Sémillón wine is very alive and vibrant. Obviously it’s just a baby, but so far has a nose of lime, fennel and quince. The palate is taught, very fine and balanced, with excellent structure and a persistent finish 6 Sommelier Suggestions Reds 650 Savage Red 2016 Western Cape, South Africa 110 Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault on the nose: violets, purple jasmine, rose petals. There is a ponderous beauty to the wine. It shows incredible precision, elegance and poise. The seamless palate overflows with savory black berry fruits, black plum, cured meats, and tart red cherries on the finish 413 Paumanok ‘Assemblage’ 2014 Long Island, New York 105 Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc A very lean, Bordeaux-style blend, dominated by near-equal Portions of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Intense notes of blackberries, figs and tobacco on the nose. Flavors of macerated plum and cocoa nib follow on the palate. 369 Atibaia 2012 Batroun, Lebanon 150 Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot This young winery is leading a new wave of Lebanese winemakers. Firm Tannic structure and bold aromas of wild berries and spices. This is a wine that will evolve in your glass between every sip. 427 Abiouness ‘Stanly Ranch’ Pinot Noir 2015 Carneros, California 86 Pinot Noir That classic Carneros nose with hints of cherry cola, strawberry preserves, and wild berry compote. The palate is so smooth and silky with the jam packed fruit notes enveloped in bright acid and supple tannins. 352 Château Kefraya ‘Comte De M’ Grand Cru 2013 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon 135 Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah Aged up to 24 months in French oak barrels, this dark purple-colored wine is a complex bouquet of black fruits and cedar wood. It is finely smooth on the palate, with elegant and melted tannins. Subtle balance between fine oak and inherent fruit . 367 Château Belle-Vue ‘La Renaissance’ 2010 Mount Lebanon, Lebanon 84 Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon Great intensity with a very long finish. Wild ripe berries and toasted cocoa notes, with fresh black plums and soft cinnamon. Smooth and well-structured tannins suggest very favorable bottle aging. 7 Sparkling 913 Dom Pérignon Champagne Brut 2009 425 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay 914 Dom Pérignon Champagne Rosé Brut 2005 1000 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay 904 Henriot Champagne Rosé Brut NV 145 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier 906 La Caravelle ‘Cuvée Niña’ Champagne Brut NV 90 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier 917 La Caravelle Rosé Champagne Brut NV 100 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier 907 Laurent-Perrier Champagne Rosé Brut NV 185 Pinot Noir 920 Laurent-Perrier Champagne Brut NV 120 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier 923 Doyard ‘Clos de l’Abbaye’ Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2008 185 Chardonnay Reserve List R01 Château Musar 1966 Bekaa Valley 2250 Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon R02 Château Musar 1975 Bekaa Valley 1100 Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault R03 Château Musar 1981 Bekaa Valley 695 Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon R04 Château Musar 1990 Bekaa Valley 405 Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon R05 Paul Hobbs ‘Beckstoffer to Kalon Vineyard’ 2012 Napa Valley, California 650 Cabernet Sauvignon R06 Henschke ‘Hill of Grace Vineyard’ 2010 Eden Valley, australia 1275 Syrah 8 Large Format List Whites 069 Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc 2013 Russian River Valley, California 1.5 Liter 185 Sauvignon Blanc 159 Granbazán ‘Etiqueta Verde’ Albariño 2016 Rías Baixas, Spain 1.5 Liter 100 Albariño Reds 376 Domaine Wardy ‘Château Les Cèdres’ 2014 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon 1.5 Liter 110 Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot , Syrah, Tempranillo 613 La Rioja Alta ‘Vina Ardanza’ Rioja Reserva 2009 Rioja, Spain 1.5 Liter 140 Tempranillo, Garnacha Champagne 942 Perrier-Jouët ‘Fleur’ Champagne Brut 2002 1.5 Liter 875 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier Natural Wines 429 Girasole Pinot Noir 2014 Mendocino County, California 75 Pinot Noir 071 Paumanok Minimalist Sauvignon Blanc 2015 Long Island, New York 82 Sauvignon Blanc 9 Whites by Style Citrusy & Zesty bright acidity with notes of citrus 001 Château Ksara ‘Blanc de Blancs’ 2016 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon 50 Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Chardonnay 006 Château Musar ‘Jeune Blanc’ 2017 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon 55 Viognier, Vermentino, Chardonnay 009 Domaine Wardy Sauvignon Blanc 2016 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon 52 Sauvignon Blanc 049 Etude Pinot Gris 2013 Napa Valley, California 64 Pinot Gris 125 Hirsch Grüner Veltliner 2016 Kamptal, Austria 70 Grüner Veltliner 062 Paumanok ‘Festival’ Chardonnay 2016 Long Island, New york 48 Chardonnay 063 Paumanok Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Long Island, New york 55 Sauvignon Blanc 071 Paumanok Minimalist Sauvignon Blanc 2015 Long Island, New York 82 Sauvignon Blanc 230 Zind-Humbrecht Muscat Goldert Grand Cru 2014 Alsace, France 130 Muscat 251 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Marlborough, New Zealand 65 Sauvignon Blanc 069 Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc 2013 Russian River Valley, California 1.5 Liter 185 Sauvignon Blanc Mineral & Crisp clean and fresh 004 Massaya Blanc 2017 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon 51 Obeideh, Clairette, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc 066 Ponzi Vineyards Pinot Gris 2017 Willamette Valley, Oregon 75 Pinot Gris 059 Ravines Dry Riesling 2016 Finger lakes, New york 56 Riesling 158 Txomín Etxaníz Txakoli 2017 Getaria, Spain 60 Hondarrabi Zuri, Hondarrabi Beltza 214 Pascal Jolivet Sancerre 2017 Loire Valley, France 66 Sauvignon Blanc 10 Whites by Style Floral & Lively aromatic with notes of summer fruits 010 IXSIR ‘Altitudes’ 2017 Batroun, Lebanon 52 Muscat, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon 060 Paumanok Chenin Blanc 2017 Long Island, New York 75 Chenin Blanc 067 Tenshen 2016 Santa Barbara, California 65 Viognier, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Chardonnay 105 Alois Lageder ‘Porer’ Pinot Grigio 2017 Alto-Adige, Italy 64 Pinot Grigio 020 Domaine Wardy ‘Clos Blanc’ 2016 Bekaa Valley 46 Obeideh , Sauvignon

  • July Indulgence—Wine Notes
    Indulgence—NWCG Wine Club July Indulgence—Wine Notes For the Super Value 3 Pack this month, you have a perennial favorite with the Sasha Lachine’s 2020 Rosé, which is a classic French St. Tropez style—crisp and clean with a touch of citrus on the finish and loads of berry on the front. He works in a traditional style but speaks to a contemporary palate. For the white, I want something for this weekend’s afternoon celebrations, and the 2020 Jordan Feline’s Picpoul hits the spot. Ms. Claude Jourdan tends the vines and makes the wines at her family estate in the Picpoul area near Mèze on the Mediterranean coast, halfway between Marseille and the Spanish frontier. From the winery and vineyards you can see the oyster beds in the shallow Mediterranean a few hundred meters away. This domaine-bottled version is a big step up from the cooperatives in the area, since the Jourdan family takes great care to limit yields and create the best Picpoul you can buy. This wine has won many awards in France and abroad. Bright, citrusy, yet mouth-fillingly rich, this wine has a great finish. For the red, I went somewhere warm, Sicily, for a wine with impact of flavor, but a style that can handle a chill. The 2019 Bacaro Nero D’Avola is perfect for a wide variety of foods. On the nose, fruity aromas with hints of thyme and rosemary. On the palate, ripe blackberry fruits, prunes and a little note of licorice and pepper, with firm tannins and medium acidity.

    Wine has flowed throughout Lebanon’s history from ancient times to present day. In this beautiful land of antiquity, beverage, food, and people are one and the same. Our beverage program reflects this, representing the best of both Lebanese traditions and those beyond the levant, while paying special homage to underrepresented people and places which also produce beautiful drinks born from nature. The complexities of Lebanese cuisine, teamed with the culture’s singular hospitality, offer exponential possibilities for pairing and sharing. We look forward to sharing them with you.

Arak makers also tout its holistic properties, claiming the aniseed aids in digestion and relaxation. Tradition states that Arak is not sipped straight but mixed in a ratio approximately 1/3 arak to 2/3 water, and requires that water is added before ice.

  • Turmoil, Strife and Wine: Reds from Lebanon
    WINE SCHOOL Turmoil, Strife and Wine: Reds From Lebanon Credit...Tony Cenicola/The New York Times By Eric Asimov • Oct. 8, 2020 With the pandemic and all the damage it has done to economies, businesses and personal relations, and the daily consequences of climate change, 2020 has been a difficult year for wine in general. But few places in the world have faced the onslaught of obstacles that have challenged the wine industry of Lebanon. The country has been in an economic and political crisis for several years, which made life difficult even before Covid-19. The huge and damaging explosion that rocked Beirut on Aug. 4 was the latest national trauma. The Lebanese people ordinarily consume about eight million bottles of wine annually, half of which are Lebanese and the rest imported, said Marc Hochar, whose family owns Chateau Musar, the leading Lebanese producer, which achieved renown for its wines under his father, Serge Hochar. Because the currency has been devalued, Mr. Hochar said, Lebanon can no longer afford imported goods, which has heightened the demand for locally produced wines. But the cost of materials required by the industry, like machinery, glass and labels, has gone up as well, and because of the economic conditions wine producers cannot raise their own prices to cover those expenses. Mr. Hochar called it “a very bizarre situation.” The Lebanese wine industry has had to demonstrate its resilience for decades, most famously navigating through 15 years of civil war. When the war ended in 1990, just five wineries were operating in Lebanon. As of 2018 there were roughly 50.
