By Michael Karam, Norbert Schiller
Currently making an impact on the international market, Lebanese wines are the
products of a rich tradition dating back 5,000 years. The Wines of Lebanon explores
the history and culture of winemaking, as well as its exceptional flavors and
varieties. The region's modern wines, wineries and local heroes are profiled,
complemented by a survey of bottle, label and equipment design. A thorough wine
listing includes vineyard information, tasting notes, harvest reports and full
contact details. Both a wine guide and a cultural history, extensively illustrated,
and with commentary provided by a number of producers, laborers, experts and
viticulturists, this is a valuable reference for connoisseurs, travellers and
casual readers alike.
