Boutique non-kosher Israeli wine now in the US
Posted on July 2, 2008 - Filed Under Israeli wine industry | 2 Comments
I have written previously about Israeli Wine Direct and the important work Richard Shaffer and his team are doing to bring small-quantity Israeli wine into the United States. IWD is making some of Israel’s best, small-production wine available to consumers in America. My only complaint is that it means less for me!

This is an excellent opportunity for non-Jews to explore Israeli wines!!!! In addition, given the kosher wine sales (and since Richard and the Clos de Gat are the only non-kosher Israeli wines in the US, that I know of) going on around Passover, I strongly suggest to my non-Jewish readers that now would be a [...]

A follow up to the below post. If you still can’t decide what sparkling wine to open tonight, here’s two tasting notes on the bubby from Daniel Rogov’s column in Ha’aretz:

Israeli sparkling wines for the New Year 2008 (Sparkling wines for Sylvester)
Posted on December 28, 2007 - Filed Under Israeli wine industry, Rogov, Wineries | Leave a Comment
It’s a few days until New Years – or Sylvester as we call it in Israel – and with that comes bubbly. Yup, sparkling wine (or champagne, but champagne really only refers to sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France).
Well, Israel isn’t known for being a world-class leader in this category but there are [...]
