But it’s not the only way to make wine.An Ethiopian recipe dating back thousands of years for a wine called “tej” uses just three ingredients — water, yeast and honey. One of the few places in the U.S. making tej also operates the only tasting room in the country, and it’s just inside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia.Gize Negussie operates Negus Winery with his wife. Ironically, it’s located on Vine Street just off Van Dorn Street in Alexandria.“Ethiopian honey wine, or tej fermented beverage, is made from honey, and dates back more than 3,000 years, the time of Queen of Sheba,” Negussie said. “And it’s part of Ethiopian meals, gatherings and celebrations.”It’s believed the Queen of Sheba brought tej back from a visit to King Solomon in Israel — yes, the one from the Bible.“She got a chance to try both wines, the grape wine and the honey wine, and ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:42 GMT

Sunday might be an opportunity to gauge how devoted Taylor Swift is as a football fan.One of the few pressing questions going into the AFC West matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers is whether the megastar entertainer decides to take in the regular-season finale at SoFi Stadium, where she performed six sold-out shows on her Eras Tour in late July and early August.If Swift shows up, she might see something resembling a preseason game — with boyfriend Travis Kelce on the sideline.With the Chiefs (10-6) locked into the third seed for the playoffs, Patrick Mahomes won’t get a chance until next season to see if he can get his ninth win in 11 starts against the Chargers. Blaine Gabbert will be making his first start since 2018, when he was with the Tennessee Titans.This will be the 49th start for Gabbert, who has played for six teams in 12 seasons.Gabbert said he doesn’t expect many changes with him running the offense.“We run coach (Andy) Reid’s offe...
