WINE and WAR - Lebanon Wine Documentary
WINE and WAR - Lebanon Wine Documentary
I wanted to let you know about a new documentary that my partners and I are just finishing up on the winemakers of Lebanon. Credit Jay Selman on this board (Jay and I made all those videos for GrapeRadio back in the day) for introducing me to the wines of Chateau Musar, and to the book 'Wines of Lebanon' by Michael Karam.
It was a wine geek's dream come true that I was able to partner up with Michael Karam and a filmmaking friend Mark Johnston to record some of Serge Hochar's most poignant words captured for all on film. The film also has appearances by Jancis Robinson MW, the late Michael Broadbent MW, Paul Grieco (Terroir NYC), and will also profile many of the winemakers who made wine during the Lebanese Civil War and the 2006 Summer War.
The film will be released in the fall, however until then here's our trailer. Cheers, or in Lebanese Arabic they say kééskon!

Re: Lebanon Wine Documentary - "WINE and WAR"
Enticing trailer, Mark. Looking forward to seeing your film.
The Lebanese are a very resilient people and have a way of debrouiller no matter what the situation. A French word that I think English has some rough equivalent of "making the best of a bad situation", but not exactly. More like being handed chaos and "noise" and finding a resourceful way to live and thrive and come out the other end.
Cheers.

Re: Lebanon Wine Documentary - "WINE and WAR"
Jim, you nailed exactly what intrigued us so much about the Lebanese. We heard it called joie de vivre however debrouiller is more precise. This was what intrigued everyone about Serge Hochar. 90% of Musar was consumed in Lebanon prior to the Civil War. Serge used to say "thank you War for forcing us to bring our wine to the rest of the world" because Musar today is now 90% (or perhaps more) exported.Jim Stewart wrote: ↑July 31st, 2020, 3:54 pm The Lebanese are a very resilient people and have a way of debrouiller no matter what the situation.

The documentary goes into depth on the 1984 and 2006 harvests, both of which nearly never happened due to battles very close to the vineyards.

Re: Lebanon Wine Documentary - "WINE and WAR"
When we visited we came home with a couple of bottles from Saint George Winery. Cheap and honestly lacking any sort of charm. Most of what we drank there that was domestic was the same.Nicholas C wrote: ↑August 1st, 2020, 10:44 am Looks really interesting, looking forward to it coming out.

Re: Lebanon Wine Documentary - "WINE and WAR"
I drove by coming from Petra however the winery was closed. Like AD, I've heard Jordanian wines weren't great however that was years ago.Nicholas C wrote: ↑August 1st, 2020, 10:44 am Mark have you ever explored any of the wines coming out of neighboring Jordan?
IMO, it mainly has to do with irrigation: the premier wine regions of the Eastern Mediterranean region are the Bekaa Valley and the Golan Heights because both are high elevation plains with interesting soil and regular rainfall. In Lebanon there are newer regions such as the Batroun Mountains which are coastal and show a lot of promise.

Can I suggest you keep the background music to a minimum. For me it added nothing, and was very distracting.

Hey, also wanted to let you know that we are holding semi-weekly Zoom calls with Lebanese winemakers, hosted by the wine author Michael Karam. We already spoke with Chateau Musar, the recording is forthcoming. I'll post all updates on this thread.
In the meantime, here's a good chat with winemaker Faozi Issa of Domaine des Tourelles, which is the oldest commercial winery in Lebanon (1868):

Re: WINE and WAR - Lebanon Wine Documentary
This Thursday we are hosting a Zoom call with the owner/winemakers of Massaya. In light of the Beirut explosion which occurred just hours ago, the Thurs. call may be postponed. Notice will be given here.
EDIT: THE WEBINAR HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

Re: WINE and WAR - Lebanon Wine Documentary
Hey Guys,
This is a reminder that the winemakers/owners of Massaya (Lebanon) will be on a Zoom call hosted by the Lebanese wine writer Michael Karam this Thursday if you'd like to tune in. Interestingly, Massaya unapologetically makes wines to drink now (the opposite of Château Musar). The Lebanese Civil War influenced them to make wines that are ready to drink now because tomorrow may never come (so drink up!). We'll briefly cover the recent events in Beirut and then go on to learn more about their philosophy, story, and anything else you'd like to ask.
Thursday August 6th, Streaming Live from Beirut at 6pm (4pm UK, 12pm Sao Paulo, 11am New York City, and 8am California time).
AND please join the discussion on Zoom using the direct link here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3318916777
About the Winery:
Founded in 1996, Massaya, which in a rather lovely way, means the soft, glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon at dusk, is a unique Franco-Lebanese partnership forged between Lebanese brothers Ramzi and Sami Ghosn, the Brunier brothers of Domaine Le Vieux Télégraphe in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Dominique Hébrard, once of Château Cheval Blanc in Saint-Émilion. Together they have created one of the most successful Lebanese wineries to emerge in the past quarter of a century.
Story begins however at the outbreak of the 1975-90 civil war, a conflict that was to leave a lasting impression on Sami and Ramzi, who aged nine and seven respectively, they had to abandon their beloved family property in the Bekaa. ‘They were the best years of our lives,’ remembered Sami. ‘There was a lot of feasting and drinking and zajal (Arabic poetry). Back then the Bekaa was pure. There was no concrete.’
The idyll ended with the war and a mad escape from the property. ‘The foreman of the vineyards came one day in a hurry and informed my parents that they had to pack and leave in ten minutes because some people were massacred in the area,’ said Ramzi. ‘Our mother had a white Volvo,’ interjected Sami. ‘We all jumped in and drove off. Our dog, an Alsatian called Tigra, followed us the entire four kilometres to Chtaura. We were all crying. We never saw her again. We heard they shot her.’
It was the beginning of a nomadic life – from hotel to hotel, from friends to friends – to escape the war and attempt to make a living out of the situation. ‘My parents tried to explain to a kid of seven years old that he had to pack just important things and never come back to his country house. From ’75 until 1992, we couldn’t come back.’ Ramzi’s experience of having to forcibly leave would prove to be pivotal in another, shorter but brutal war, thirty-one years later.

Re: WINE and WAR - Lebanon Wine Documentary
The best viewing experience will be on Altavod (using Safari) with a 1984 Musar.

While 90% of the film is in English, some viewers have enjoyed watching the film a second time with English subtitles on as there is a lot of content packed into 95 minutes. Also, Laemmle Theaters is showing the film should there be issues on Altavod. Enjoy! I'd love to hear your feedback.

By the way, can't wait to watch the film. Missed a chance to visit Musar last year when a friend was winning an alumni award at American University. Super bummed I didn't just drop whatever relatively unimportant thing I had on the calendar.
I'll get there. I adore that wine.
