Hiba Metni Najem makes Lebanese wines that are meant to be drunk young. "We Lebanese never know what tomorrow will bring so why age the wines? I want to enjoy them!" https://t.co/i3c4NIilzF
In 2006, The New Government released a self-titled debut album. The project had to stop after summer 2006 because of the war. Here's a montage by our editor Malek Hosni which we ended up cutting from the film for timing reasons.

"Israel and Lebanon have much in common: the long history, the proximity, the immense variety and the ever-improving quality. Yet we both encounter similar problems...It is hard to break out of the ethnic furrow."

Maher Harb owner of the @SeptWinery in Batroun, North Lebanon, was born in 1982. “Lebanon was in a state of civil war,” he recalls, “but I always saw it as a game. However, in 1990 my father died in an explosion. It has shaped me in everything I do.”

"While Israel and Lebanon are connected by land, they are worlds apart politically...Yet both countries share a history, even an ancient history when it comes to wine in the Levant."
