Dear Confrères and Consoeurs,

MENU & PAIRINGS
(Final courses subject to refinement)
Mezze
Baba Ganoush, Grape Leaves, Hummus
Paired with Ksara Blanc de Blanc
A crisp, elegant blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Chardonnay. Expect notes of citrus blossom, green apple, and a touch of minerality—a vibrant match for the smoky and creamy mezze.
Lebanese Salad
Paired with Ksara Sunset Rosé
This vibrant, coral-hued rosé is made from Cabernet Franc and Syrah. It offers aromas of red berries and stone fruit, with a dry, refreshing finish—an ideal partner for the herbs and acidity of a classic Lebanese salad.
Main Courses
Chicken preparation (TBD)
Château Kefraya Rouge
A bold, structured blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Mourvèdre. This deep ruby red wine delivers black fruit, dried herbs, and subtle spice—perfect for richly seasoned chicken dishes.
Lamb preparation (TBD)
Musar Jeune Rouge
From the legendary Château Musar estate, this youthful red blend of Cinsault, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon is medium-bodied with lush red berries, soft tannins, and earthy undertones—beautifully suited to the robust flavors of lamb.
Dessert (TBD)
Served with a Chaîne-provided dessert wine. A surprise selection from our cellar to round out the evening.
All wines have been hand-selected from Ali Sabbah’s personal cellar—an intimate glimpse into Lebanon’s rich, underrepresented wine tradition.
