Name: Karam Wines Thouraya 2020
Type: Red Wine
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2020
Country: Lebanon
Region: South Lebanon
Date Consumed: December 15, 2025
You get what you deserve: a good cabernet sauvignon. No weaknesses worthy of being mentioned here. Karam Wines’ Thouraya 2020 is a full-bodied, dry red with strong tannins, and it pairs nicely with strong cheeses and red meat. It’s also well-priced and has good aging potential. I wouldn’t mind having more of it.
It is by playing it safe
that I’ve been risking
my life
but now that I’m taking risks
I finally feel alive.
Name: Chateau Bybline Cinsault 2021
Type: Red Wine
Grapes: Cinsault
Year: 2021
Country: Lebanon
Region: Mount Lebanon
Date Consumed: December 13, 2025
I really don’t have a lot to say about this one. The Chateau Bybline Cinsault 2021 is a light-bodied red that reflects a familiar expression of Lebanese cinsault. Expect light tannins and notes of red fruits and mild spices. Largely straightforward, suited for casual consumption, not for focused tasting or wine nights.
