According to the wine site enobytes.com, HaKerem: The Israeli Wine Blog is one of the top 100 Google wine blogs. Here are the top 5 blogs: 1 Vinography 2 Wine Library TV 3 Dr Vino 4 The Pour 5 Fermentation Our good friend Richard’s Israeli Wine Direct blog, about his important business of bringing Israeli wine into America, ranks number 18. Only a few spots down (and after a month in which, I admit, I’ve […]
I want to point out a little-known feature of this blog – the store. Yes, one of the important functions of HaKerem is not merely a list of wine essentials – from books, DVDs, and accessories like stemware and wine fridges – but also the opportunities to order them online via Amazon.com. I want to just quickly highlight a few offerings, but I strongly encourage you to check it out and make a purchase. If there are products you think […]
I don’t know whether to be happy that many people have already discovered this blog after only a week of existence or upset that many – by no means all – discovered this blog because they were looking for information on kosher wine.

Well, not entirely emerging (although I do remember first surfing the web in the 1990s and reading Tom Friedman’s The World is Flat – one of my new favorite books — brought back some fond childhood memories) but one of the most important tools of marketing and brand management is a website.
