Sonadora, a hotshot DC lawyer cum wine aficionado had an interesting wine-food pairing the other day: tacos with Israel’s Flam Classico. Well, the pairing was a flop but, according to Sonadora, the Flam has “the nose that I now really love about a Cabernet Sauvignon.”

Canada: Support quality Israeli wine

29, Apr 2008

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.

Gamliel Kronemer, the New York Jewish Week’s wine writer, has just released his Top 10 kosher wines for 2007.
