Lebanon Bekaa Valley Caves de Ksara Winery Tour

[Cheese Head]

My family and were posted to Damascus Syria from for 3 years from summer 2001 to 2004 before Houston Texas. For you wine makers and lovers out there, below are pictures of a Lebanese Winery called Caves de Ksara in the Bakaa Valley. They ages their wine in huge series of straight caves in hill behind the winery, they said they had no idea how old or who cut them, probably pre-roman era. Great wine!

My wife Laura is with long black hair, the other woman is her sister visiting us, two kids are are daughters.

The wineries website is www.ksara.com.lb but the site doesn't appear to be working right now, for me.

Very cool, I love Live wine cellars. I would love to have one built into a moutian. Before I built my wine cellar in the house I was going to pull up my deck and build an underground cellar and then put the deck back, there would be stairs and a proper entrance. But it would have been too much of a hassle.

In the Pic #11, what is that buildup on the demijohns?  Great pics, and great to see your family too.

Tea, thanks, I also wondered about that material on the large bottles, but I have no idea what it is.

[Cartierusm]

I think it's just rubble and dust from centuries.

I guess if Cheese Head Married Bruce Willis' ex he would, in the media, be known as DemiJohn.

Ha, thanks Carter for my morning laugh!

Demi Moore married that young 1/2 her age goofy guy (Ashton ) from US That 70's Show, I remember being that goofy in when younger in the 70's, so I guess it's now DemiAsh.

I was thinking that a bit of Star-san and some elbow grease, we could have cleaned those bottles right up.

[Cartierusm]

I'd start with a power washer.
