Rogov’s 2009 Guide to Israeli Wine
Posted on November 13, 2008 - Filed Under Israeli wine industry, Rogov, Video, Wine Festivals | Leave a Comment
Last week, Daniel Rogov unveiled his annual Guide to Israel Wines at Tel Aviv’s Wine Route. Unfortunately, due to horrible traffic, it took me longer-than-anticipated to reach Tel Aviv and I only arrived after the event was over.
Nevertheless, the Israeli food portal Bakbuk was there and covered the event. Most importantly is a video of [...]
Jerusalem of Wine
Posted on July 21, 2008 - Filed Under Wine Events, Wine Festivals | 1 Comment
The Jerusalem Wine Festival has come and gone for the year. This wine tasting festival is only a few years old but it has already become a Jerusalem tradition for Israel’s Anglo population and Jerusalemites, thirsty for some culture in the holy city. Last week, I attended the event and came in with mixed feelings.

Reporting from the Israwinexpo

So I returned Wednesday night from the first public night of the Israwinexpo 2008, Israel’s 2nd international wine trade show. While the two public days were mostly wine tastings attended by Israel’s growing oenophiles (and a few tourists, including my parents), the first day was only for professionals. Journalists from Wine Spectator, Decanter (one of [...]

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).

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 [...]
Israwinexpo 2008
Posted on January 28, 2008 - Filed Under Israeli wine industry, Wine Events, Wine Festivals | Leave a Comment
Israwinexpo, a government-sponsored Israeli wine trade show, is coming next month. It’s the second time this has been held, as the government is finally (ok, granted I’m free-market and think the government should stay out … everywhere) recognizing the importance of the wine industry in Israel’s economy. This trade show is mostly open to wine [...]

While Carmel Mizrahi Winery is definitely not my favorite, it is the old man on the block. Founded by Baron Rothschild, who is also the founder of many top French chateaus, in the late 19th century, the history of Carmel is the history of modern Israel. However, for many years that also means that it [...]

I promise, promise, promise that this my last post for 2007 on the Beaujolais Nouveau. However, I just saw an interesting article in Ha’aretz about the Israeli wine culture.
While winetastingguy noted that wine consumption in America is on the rise, he pointed out that he wasn’t sure what the numbers were in Israel. Well, according [...]
