...Mohammed, who wore a full gray and black beard, turban, white robes and owlish horn-rimmed glasses, was clearly the leader of the five, seated at the front of the courtroom alongside his defense lawyers. Throughout the morning session, he conversed animatedly with his fellow defendants, Mohammad bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abdul Aziz and Mustafa al-Hawsawi, seated in a row behind him with their own lawyers. (Only Binalshibh was shackled.) The men spoke in Arabic among themselves, at times joking and appearing to coordinate strategy. Mohammed frequently conversed with bin Attash, seated directly behind him, who then appeared...

The humble cinsualt grape he uses doesn't have a strong personality of its own, but absorbs the surrounding...
...Following last summer's war with Israel, an ongoing political crisis, and a string of assassinations, Lebanon's reputation hangs in the balance. "Wine develops as long as the country where it is produced conveys positive values," Ramzi explained. No one wanted to drink South African wine during apartheid, and Chile couldn't sell its wine as long as Pinochet was in power. "Wine is a journey," he said.
