This smooth, cool, refreshing liquor, tasting of licorice with a hint of peppermint, washes the taste buds and refreshes the palate for each new dish. Arak makers also tout its holistic properties, claiming that the aniseed aids in digestion and relaxation. Arak is not drunk straight but is mixed in approximately 1/3 arak to 2/3 water. tradition requires that water is added before ice. Be adventurous and mix it yourself or allow our servers to mix it for you. “The first glass is for medicinal purposes, the second glass makes you happy and with the third, you eat the wind.” 5 Sommelier Suggestions Whites 015 Château Musar Rosé 2014 Lebanon 125 Obeideh, Merwah Even in Champagne, rosé is rarely a pricey proposition. 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. 076 Paul Hobbs ‘Russian River’ Chardonnay 2016 Sonoma 160 Chardonnay The wine is a vibrant blend delineated from the region’s cooling fog and warm afternoon sunshine to allow balanced ripening of lush varietal flavors and natural acidity that can be derived from our venerated vineyards. 014 IXSIR ‘EL’ 2014 Batroun, Lebanon 112 Viognier, Chardonnay A very limited production white wine from a new winery that has quickly gained a huge following.

Grapefruit and white peach notes, with elegant soft bitterness at the end. Very rounded and with a long clean finish. 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 413 Paumanok ‘Assemblage’ 2014 Long Island, New York 115 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 135 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.
