Name: Domaine Wardy Grenache 2019
Type: Red Wine
Grapes: Grenache
Year: 2019
Country: Lebanon
Region: Bekaa Valley
Date Consumed: 2026
A medium-bodied red wine with balanced tannins. It is a fairly friendly bottle that pairs nicely with red meat, pasta, and all sorts of cheeses. Expect notes of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, and cherry) and subtle citrusy and peppery hints. It’s very “drinkable” and suitable for casual gatherings like barbecues and birthday parties.
Name: Latourba Litaj Private Selection 2017
Type: Red Wine
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah
Year: 2017
Country: Lebanon
Region: Bekaa Valley
Date Consumed: January 4, 2026
A full-bodied dry red with fairly strong tannins. Litaj is a top-shelf wine by Latourba and one of those bottles you pair with moments you’d like to remember. It also pairs nicely, of course, with red meat and strong cheeses.
I got notes of red fruits, black fruits, cocoa, black pepper, and tobacco, and tiny hints of mint and green capsicum here and there.
Overall, I think it is an excellent blend, and I wouldn’t mind drinking more of it.
Name: Chateau Fakra Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Type: Red Wine
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2022
Country: Lebanon
Region: Kfardebian, Keserwan-Jbeil
Date Consumed: December 31, 2025
A friendly, award-winning, single-varietal wine by Chateau Fakra. Here we have a cabernet sauvignon from 2022 for everyone to enjoy. I uncorked this one on New Year’s Eve. It was the third bottle of the night. It came with notes of black fruit, plum, and liquorice, and it delivered precisely what is expected from a young cabernet sauvignon. Nothing to complain about here. A good wine made for good times.
