The cave is "before Mamre" (literally, "in front of Mamre"), which in Biblical parlance means "east of Mamre." This cave became the burial place of the other patriarchs and matriarchs, except Rachel.

 Daily Bible Study - Mamre
Mamre is known to Bible History primarily as the place where Abraham dwelt when he settled in the land that The Lord directed him to, after leaving his birthplace in Ur, in southern Mesopotamia, now known as Iraq (by nationality of birth, Abraham would today be, not a Jew, not an Israeli, but an Iraqi).
It was while living at Mamre that Sarah died, and Abraham purchased a nearby cave, the Cave of Machpelah, as his wife's tomb - thereby making it one of the most famous Bible Places, where eventually Abraham himself, and Isaac and Rebekah, and Jacob and Leah were all buried.
It was at Mamre that The Lord announced to childless Abraham and Sarah that they would have a child of their own, even though they were both by then advanced in age.

 Mamre (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
The name of the place in the neighborhood of Hebron (q.v.) where Abraham dwelt (Gen.
23:17, 19; 35:27); called also in Authorized Version (13:18) the "plain of mamre," but in Revised Version more correctly "the oaks [marg., 'terebinths'] of Mamre." The name probably denotes the "oak grove" or the "wood of Mamre," thus designated after Abraham's ally.
The site of Mamre has been identified with Ballatet Selta, i.e., "the oak of rest", where there is a tree called "Abraham's oak," about a mile and a half west of Hebron.

Rabbi Alter explains that Mamre knew and understood very clearly that through the bris milah a covenant would be formed between Hashem and Avraham and his children after him.
Mamre, on the other hand, did accept that Avraham would now be different from him because he appreciated that this covenant would lead to greater honor for the name of Heaven.
Mamre could compromise his own position - by not being part of this covenant - for the sake of the greater good.

Mamre, however, told Avraham that having experienced Hashem's deliverance from Nimrod's furnace and the miraculous victory over four mighty kings, he should trust in Hashem and follow His command.
Because Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre were boalei bris Avraham, confederates in a forged bond, they had the potential to relate to the concept of bris.
Mamre, by contrast, projected himself into Avraham's place and advised him on the basis of Avraham's frame of reference and experience of Divine protection.

They also met an elderly resident from the area who was urgently looking for the police to certify a document so that he could register his child for a much-needed social grant.

 Saltram Mamre Brook Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2002
In recent years Saltram Mamre Brook wines have been well rewarded at wine shows around Australia, with the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon winning the 2003 Stoddard Trophy.
Well, speak to those people who cellared copius amounts of the 1998 vintage of this wine and they would agree that dollar for dollar, Mamre Brook would rank along side many $25 dollar reds in the marketplace.
The 2002 Mamre Brook Shiraz is excellent too, and worth buying into, though the alcohol on the shiraz stands out of the wine in a way that suggests it won’t age quite as well even though the percentage alcohol in the shiraz is lower than it is in the cabernet.
