There are millions of wines from around the world. Even the best critics don’t know about most wines. Yet, very few of them are in the top 100. However, according to this year’s Wine Spectator, an Israeli wine has made their list of the best 100 wines.

Monday night I had the opportunity to taste five truly amazing wines. While most were from California (including Covenant’s second label, the Cabernet Sauvignon Red Sea 2003), there was one unique and special wine from Israel. In fact, it was from a winery that I had never tried before: Psagot.
