Crazers. Did you see my post about when I went to Galil Mountain Winery? You can see Hezbollah towers from the parking lot.

Didn't know the Lebanese took advantage of the wine region. Thought they only shelled it.

Philly is a controlled state right? What a shit show.

I did see that. Most (all?) Lebanese wines are made in the Bekaa Valley, and the main town in the region is Zahle. I'd imagine it's far enough north to be relatively safe, but I have no idea if that's true.

interesting - I have lebanese wine a couple of times a year, at lebanese resteraunts. I need to look out for that brand/vintage. the ones I have are nice, but we order just to flatter the lebanese distributors.


btw, Kwilk, what do you know about greek variatals? I tried a couple recently, and it seems that there are at least 6 grape variatals in Greece that pretty much aren't found anyplace else. I only really liked one (can't remember which, and I'm not home now) but do you have any light to shed on the subject?

No homo, but I love Matt's appreciation for wine, which is pretty unique (especially on the internet) and interesting. It is truly all about appreciation and is based in the rituals of the table. It's not about knowing what the aspect of La Tache is and it isn't about why the diurnal shift of a region has an impact on the wine. It is just about drinking it for what it is and loving it for that, and while not "making it simple" it is about demystifying it.

While you are a true knob-gobbler here Matt is indeed a special flower.

I have some academic knowledge about them, but no experience drinking them. Well I've had Domaine Skouras which was 100% Aghiorghitiko. I know a lot of people like Assytriko and Moscofilero for white and Xinomavro, Aghiorghitiko, and Mavrodaphne.

And you know I love it.

Have had Assytriko. The place I took my somm class at actually pours it BTG. It's not memorable.
