About HaKerem
Posted on November 7, 2007
Kerem (כרם) means “vineyard” in Hebrew. The word comes from the Bible, which was written in Israel. Throughout the Bible, there is mention of wine, showcasing the two-thousand year-old history of Israeli wine. Yet, despite a modern wine industry that is making some of the world’s best wine Israeli wine is not known outside of a very select elite abroad.
My family has been in the wine business for over two generations, and I think it’s about time that I - part of Generation Y - continue that tradition to bring Israeli wine to a global audience and also explore issues unique to the younger and newest generation of wine consumers, of which I am a part of.
HaKerem: The Israeli Wine Blog (http://www.israeli-wine.org) is here to bring the latest and also the greatest on the Israeli wine world — from the latest releases, to an exploration of the over 150 different wineries in Israel, to a discussion — and please join in — on how to help the world discover this hidden gem: יין ישראלי (Israeli wine). L’chaim!
