3, Mar 2010

Share
The Wine Advocate, owned by Robert Parker, the world’s most famous & influential wine critic, has again tasted wines from Israel.
This is encouraging because Israel now seems to appear at least once a year in a formal tasting. It was not so long ago that Israel was off the Parker radar. However today that has [...]

I’ve written about Israeli wine from Biblical Times until the 1990s. Here’s Israeli wine from the last decade:

I’ve previously blogged about the Jerusalem Wine Festival but I haven’t yet had a chance to attend the Tel Aviv Wine Festival which is held at the Tel Aviv Eretz Yisrael Museum, near Tel Aviv University.
Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my camera and my cell phone had one indicator left, so I didn’t want to waste [...]

Decanting Israel, which I spoke about previously, seems to be trying to channel Gary Vaynerchuk with their second video: Gvaot Herodion Cabernet – Merlot 2006, which is a wine that I’ve found to be quite enjoyable too.

The Israeli Gary V? Tzuba

29, Sep 2009

Share
I’m not the only enthusiast for Israeli wine here in the Holy Land. And apparently someone’s a bigger fan of Gary V than myself (personally, I want to be the next Daniel Rogov or Robert Parker).
Mitch Scheider, who has connections in the kosher wine world, has started Decanting Israel, which is a video show featuring [...]
