I received the following report from Neta Reef of Israeli Wine Company, about the recent Israeli wine festival hosted by Kehillah Jewish High School in California. If you’ve attended or run an Israeli wine event contact me to post it beforehand and let me know how it went and maybe I will post it here.

Yesterday, June 4^th, the Kehillah Jewish High School together with the Israel Wine Company hosted an Israeli Wine Festival and a tasting at the beautiful Jennings Pavilion located in Holbrook-Palmer Park in Atherton, CA

The wineries that participated include: Yatir, Ella Valley Vineyards, Domine du Castel, Yaffo Winery, Bazelet Ha-Golan, Hamasrek Winery, Tabor Winery, Rimon and Teperberg. Only the high-end wines of each winery were offer at the event.

Neta, of Israel Wine Company, said they had more then 150 wine lovers that had the opportunity to taste the wonderful wines of those wineries: "in order to give Israeli wines the place they deserve in the American market people need to actually taste and explore all this great wines. Such an event helps to bring more people to get hands-on Israeli wines".

The money raised from this event will be used by Kehillah towards programming, financial aid programs, and teacher resources. Kehillah Jewish High School, located in Palo Alto, is the area’s leading independent pluralistic Jewish high school dedicated to providing an outstanding education to its students.

Israel Wine Company will be at the Israel in the Gardens event this Sunday June 7^th at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Gardens.
