Domaine Wardy is a family-owned winery in Zahle.

Domaine Wardy stands out for something quite rare in Lebanon: a serious range of mono-varietal wines. From Cabernet Sauvignon to Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Muscat, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc etc… each grape is given its own space to express itself clearly and precisely within the Bekaa terroir.

It’s a lineup that doesn’t just offer variety, but lets you understand the identity of each variety through a single winery’s lens. 🍷

👁️ Luminous ruby with a slight garnet edge
👃 dill, bay leaf, brown sugar, gunsmoke, allspice, plum sauce, blood orange
👅 blackberries, bay leaf, blood orange, plum smoke
Medium body, melted tannins,medium acidity, long finish
📝 A very complex wine, surprisingly good notes that I never expected gave this wine a lovely character that reflects the Chilean cool climate heavily influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, which is only a short distance away, not to mention the morning mists and fog that frequently roll into the valley, providing a natural cooling blanket for the grapes.
Cheers 🍷

🍇 Cabernet Sauvignon
👁️ Deep Garnet
👃 Blackcurrant, Olives, Peppermint, Roasted Pepper, Dark cherries
👅 Sea salt, Cherry, Tomato sauce
Full body, Medium acidity, medium finish, medium tannins

📝 A very interesting Ukranian wine. Harvested from the Crimean peninsula, which explains the mineral notes. These notes specifically made this wine an excellent match with shrimps 🍤which is a bit unusual for Cabernet Sauvignon. The sea salt taste, intensified the umami flavor in shrimps 🦐 which made them 10x more enjoyable!

I found this 2018 Ukranian 🇺🇦 Cabernet Sauvignon 🍇 at a small minimarket in a far away town, after attending a funeral…

Ukraine 🇺🇦 is well known for wheat 🌾, Corn 🌽 and sunflower 🌻, however grapes 🍇 is a booming thing there at the moment, and some regions such as Odesa are benefiting from over 290 days of sunshine ☀️ and a unique weather giving their wine 🍷 an excellent flavor.

I loved the mineral notes such as the sea salt 🧂 which intensified the umami flavors in the fish I paired it with.

My full technical tasting in the next post ➡️

Always visit minimarkets everytime you go to a new village!

Just tried the new Rosé Beer by Almaza 🦩🍺 and it’s giving fruity vibes all the way!This light blend of beer + red fruit juice 🍓 is super refreshing — I mostly got raspberry on the nose, and honestly, it’s a vibe.At only 2% alcohol, it’s more of a fruity sipper than your classic beer — don’t expect cereal or hoppy notes, but do expect pure chill in a bottle.Perfect for sunny days, beach hangs, or when you want something light + playful.Would you call it a beer? I’m not so sure… but I am reaching for another one.
