Lebanese Wine Tasting

featuring

Elie Maamari, Export Director Château Ksara


Sigel’s Elite (3209 N Fitzhugh) Thursday, August 18th 5-7pm


Lebanon is home to a dynamic wine industry, one that has grown exponentially in recent years. High altitude cultivation, dry farming, organic farming, hand harvesting, and native grape varieties are all hallmarks of what Lebanese wines represent. Though it’s smaller than the state of Connecticut, Lebanon hosts a wide variety of microclimates, with elevation (the central mountain range called Mount Lebanon peaks over 3,000 meters) and proximity to the Mediterranean coastline playing key roles. Lebanon came under French Mandate after World War I, and this French influence extended to the country’s wine culture as a flood of enological knowledge from French wine communities. This is manifested in the grapes grown in Lebanese vineyards—Bordeaux varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot and Mediterranean varieties like Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, and Grenache-as well as the vinification techniques used, like oak aging.


Join us for an exploration of the fine wines of Lebanon at Sigel’s Elite (3209 N Fitzhugh) on August 18th from 5-7pm as we welcome Elie Maamari, Export Director of Chateau Ksara to lead us through a tasting of current release wine and spirits.
