Earlier this month, my wife and I visited the Ardoum winery. We were with friends, some of whom knew a thing or two about wine and others who knew nothing. But we were all there to celebrate a birthday and have fun.

The plan was to visit a winery and then have lunch somewhere that served Lebanese Mezza. It all went according to plan, and most of us ended up at a cigar lounge, smoking cigars and discussing philosophy.

The Ardoum winery is located in Mtein in Mount Lebanon and is relatively small. For its size, though, it had a decent selection of wines. Of all the red wines I tried, I like the Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 best. Therefore, it ended up being one of the three bottles we brought home with us.

The Ardoum Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a wine for casual gatherings and cozy nights. I opened the bottle we brought with us on a weekday while my wife prepared dinner. We both had a couple of glasses, one before and one during dinner.
