Phoenician trade routes: Morocco, Israel, Lebanon, Greece, Cyprus, etc. The wines of Phoenicia had such an enduring presence in the Greek and Roman world that the adjective "Bybline"–from the Phoenician town of Byblos– became a byword denoting wine of high quality
Chateau Musar, Ghazir, Lebanon
Winemaking in the territory now known as Lebanon is said to have started more than 6000 years ago, but came to the attention of the international wine world only in 1984, when Serge Hochar was named Man of the Year by the English "bible of wine", Decanter Magazine, which cited his perseverance and dedication to his vineyards and to his winemaking in spite of the war being waged throughout Lebanon at that time. If you have not experienced Hochar's splendid wines, you owe it to yourself to try Chateau Musar, and there's no time like the present
