- oliver - 04-25-2002 can anyone direct me to a source for OMAR KYHAM wines in the United States, specifically, New Jersey. Thanks. - hotwine - 04-25-2002 Welcome to the board, Oliver. Wine-searcher.com had no joy. Suggest you go to your favorite retailer and ask him to check with his distributors; maybe one deals with a Middle Eastern source who could locate it for you. - Drew - 04-25-2002 Actually the correct spelling is Omar Khayyam and wine-searcher turned up 1 match in the UK. Omar Khayyam, Persian poet, active 1100 A.D., born and educated about 500 miles east of Tehran, wrote of "a loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou." I can't find reference to any US distributors so I'd take Hotwine's advise and head to your local retailer. Drew - Kcwhippet - 04-25-2002 There is an Egyptian wine spelled Omar Khyam, but it appears to be available only in Egypt. - winedope - 04-25-2002 can't remember the producer, but the only wine I had while in Egypt tasted like vinegar! I drank it out of courtesy for my host, but UGH! - hotwine - 04-26-2002 Drew the Detective comes through again! Nice goin'! |
