Lebanese food wine pairings

[Botafogo]

I cannot say this with enough emphasis:

DRY AROMATIC ROSE!

In particular, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cerasuolo from either Cataldi Madonna or Illuminati, Regaleali Rosato d'Sicilia or even Bonny Doon's Pink Wine.

Start with one of these good and cold and THEN go on to some red zin or even a nice Teroldego or Lagrein.

IK, remember how you dug that Cerasuolo the other night, imagine it as a starter here..
