Posted at 15:24h in Grapes, Wine industry by David Rhodes 1 Comment Not too long ago you may recall some rave reviews by me about some Recanati wines. Generally speaking I think they are consistently one of the best commercial wineries in Israel so when I heard they were releasing a new wine I was excited for the opportunity to taste what they crafted and when I found out it was a new single varietal to the Israeli wine portfolio, […]
Posted at 21:00h in Wines by Avi 0 Comments Check out this clip on Roni Saslove, winemaker and manager of The Tasting Room, one of the newest wineries that opened up in Tel Aviv’s renovated Sarona complex. A great place to visit in a beautiful setting, only a few steps from Tel Aviv’s Azrieli Center and business district. The Tasting Room is probably the best wine shop in Israel to get a wine tasting. In addition, I’ve had the pleasure to […]
Posted at 21:49h in Wineries, Wines by Avi 1 Comment It’s almost the end of 2009 and so the young 2009 vintage wines are soon coming out.

Posted at 19:51h in Wine 101, Wine industry by 0 Comments 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.

Posted at 12:26h in Events by 0 Comments With President Bush gone, I can finally return to blogging (because, ya know, we spent so much time together… well, just as his motorcade passed and roads were closed). As it seems like I’ve got readers both from Israel and the United States, I will post a few wine events going on over the next week. They sound interesting. 15 January – Dalton Celebrates 12th Anniversary Dalton Winery, already very established in […]
