Daniel Rogov has his thoughts of Israwinexpo here.
He was interviewed by Israeli portal Walla! here (in Hebrew only, it was quite interesting for Dovrei Ivrit).

Stay tuned for more photos, a write up and more, of my recent visit to a handful of Israeli wineries.
In the meantime, here’s a preview of Dalton’s barrel room.

ISRAWINEXPO 2008 is here

Sorry for the slow pace of this blog, which will continue over the next two weeks, as I have guests from the wine trade (but lacking exposure in Israeli wine) in over the next two weeks. Hopefully, over the next month, I will have some interesting posts of a few northern wineries.
 
However, yesterday, today, and [...]

Georgia newspaper picks Galil Mountain Chard as “Wine of Day”

The Savannah Morning News picked the Galil Mountain Chard as the “Wine of the Day” for January 30, 2008. Saying that it could fool anyone into thinking it’s a California Chardonnay in a blind tasting, I have to admit that I would be very interested in trying. Israeli wines definitely would make a useful blind [...]

I’m either up north, touring Israel’s wine country, or in Tel Aviv at Israwinexpo. I hope to see you there!
In the next month, I will have pictures and comments about Israeli wineries.

Mark Squires on Israeli wine

8, Feb 2008

Share
Richard, a nice American blogger who also shows the love to Israeli wine, interviewed Mark Squires on his blog Israel Wine Direct (the only other Israeli wine blog, but missing out on a ton since Richard’s in America – but he’s scheduled to bring great Israeli wine to American direct consumers).
The interview is worth paying [...]

Teperberg appoints new marketing manager

3, Feb 2008

Will this be good news for Diaspora wine drinkers? Teperberg 1870, Israel’s 4th largest winery (but yet barely known outside of Israel, especially in North America, where so few is imported) has just appointed a new chief marketing manager. From the Jerusalem Post:
ONE OF Israel’s veteran wineries, Teperberg 1870, has appointed Benny Cohen-Weinberg, 39, as [...]
