13 Nov 2007 by Israeli wine has a bad rap. Too many people associate it with either cooked wine (due to the old way that mevushal –a kosher stringency – was done, but wine that is not mevushal is equally kosher and, as I will repeat over and over again, there are plenty of non-certified Israeli wines that have come out within the past two decades) or Concord sweet, sickly wines like Manishewitz. Yet, Concord was used in kosher wine […]

One of the topics of this blog will be the young wine drinker, the late Gen X and the Millenial (1975-legal drinking age). I just received an e-mail from Gary Vaynerchuk, the brash, pedestrian, young host of Wine Library TV, a video podcast about wine, and Director of Operations at his father’s megaliquor store, Wine Library, in New Jersey about an article about Wine 2.0 in CNN. Wine 2.0 – the use of the Internet to sell wine – is […]

This video is a fascinating introduction to Tzuba Winery. Unforunately, it’s all in Hebrew, which makes its usefulness rather limited outside of Israel. I often wonder why Israel doesn’t invest more in English-language material on its wineries. There is even an Israeli wine forum or two that attacks the few outlets for Israeli wine in English. Nevertheless, I digress. Even if you don’t understand the video, this introduction to Tzuba Winery, founded in 2005, is in the Judean Hills and […]
I’m not the expert in wine and food pairings but I know a few basics. Like a Moscat/Moscato is a great wine for a sweet dessert like cake or ice cream, but not the appropriate wine for a hearty meal. Yet, as I mentioned in Friday’s post, many of my friends will serve moscato – especially the Golan Moscato — for the ritual blessings on the wine on Shabbat and holidays. Well, apparently this year’s blend – which is always […]
