7, Nov 2009

Share
I plan on posting more over the next week about the launch of Daniel Rogov’s Launch of the Guide to Israeli Wines 2010 and his new Guide to Kosher Wines (Disclosure: I received an invite to the launch party and copy from Toby Press, the publisher).

In the meantime, however, here is a video from my [...]

Kosher and Proud of It

6, Jan 2009

Share
(This originally appeared on Wines Israel)

By: Adam Montefiore
Lets destroy some popular misconceptions: Not all kosher wine is made in Israel and not all Israeli wine is kosher! Nowadays nearly every wine producing country in the world produces kosher wine and in Israel, just to be confusing, many of the newer, smaller wineries make non-kosher [...]

JTA: Israeli wines come of age

14, Sep 2008

Share
A bit behind the times, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency has the stereotypical “Israeli wines used to suck, now they are good story.” Focusing on Castel, a story I did two years ago. But, perhaps the most important as it’s the Jewish crowd that is most stuck on an image of Israeli wines from 30 or [...]

Israeli wine doesn’t suck: Bloomberg

23, Jul 2008

Share

Bloomberg gets the message that Israeli wine doesn’t suck. I’m a little surprised that the article used the traditional framing of “Israeli wine used to suck, now kosher wine is good” (making the association between bad kosher American wine with great Israeli wine [which wasn't always kosher, even]). This is especially surprising coming from such [...]

My good friend Richard Shaffer of Israeli Wine Direct has recently started an absolutely fascinating series of podcasts with Israeli wine figures.
The first one has just been posted with Adam Montefiore. I’m listening it to it now and, despite knowing a lot about Israeli wine and Israeli wine marketing, I am learning a ton from [...]

Carmel: From Sacramental to Single Vineyard

21, May 2008

Share

I promise that this is the last post about Carmel Winery for a little while, but I promised last month some more information and news about Carmel and this post about Carmel’s quality revolution (which definitely does include the opening up of the Yatir Winery) just doesn’t cut it. But, since the story of Carmel [...]

Canada: Support quality Israeli wine

29, Apr 2008

Share
Here is an interesting article from the Canadian Jewish Independent on Israeli wine and my favorite part – the business and export side of quality wine. Nice focus on Carmel and Flam, including quotes from the legendary Adam Montefiore of Carmel and also Golan Flam of Flam. Nice to see Israeli wine getting noticed as [...]

ISRAEL21c covers Parker

4, Jan 2008

Share
ISRAEL21c has finally covered the Parker story, although I wish it was a bit more detailed (they could have asked me – but OK, to be fair, I didn’t propose it. Among many others, I’m sure, I brought this story to their attention a few weeks ago at dinner, the day after the results came [...]
