Wines Of Lebanon (the Journey Continues)

By (photographer) Norbert Schiller; By (author) Michael Karam
In their latest collaboration, the follow-up to the award-winning Wines of Lebanon, wine writer Michael Karam and photographer Norbert Schiller, take us on another journey through the vineyards of Lebanon. They chart a history of winemaking that began with early man and which, over the next 7,000 years, witnessed the convulsions of a region central to the story of humanity, meeting the people who epitomize a proud tradition, sharing their challenges, triumphs and tragedies. This book also highlights the development of an industry from one that operated in isolation, part of a rural and religious tradition, to one that has been forced to adapt to a global industry while coping with conflict and instability. Wines of Lebanon: The Journey Continues is both a wine guide and a cultural history. Extensively illustrated, it is a valuable reference for all wine enthusiasts and those with an interest in the Middle East. For the Lebanese, wherever they may live, the book also serves as a cultural touchstone, connecting them with a proud and unique heritage.
