Here are Squire’s scores from [...]
Why Israeli Wine is World Class (My Philosophy on What is Good Wine)
Posted on August 18, 2008 - Filed Under Israeli wine industry | 4 Comments
Israeli wine is world class. Yes, we’ve heard this recently from the likes of Robert Parker, Mark Squires, Gary Vaynerchuk, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and other wine critics and trade publications. But I think they’ve all got it a bit wrong.

Richard, a nice American blogger who also shows the love to Israeli wine, interviewed Mark Squires on his blog Israel Wine Direct (the only other Israeli wine blog, but missing out on a ton since Richard’s in America - but he’s scheduled to bring great Israeli wine to American direct consumers).
The interview is worth paying [...]
