15, Sep 2009 Share Jerusalem.com has an interview with Dan Vered, owner of the Jerusalem Wine and Art store in the Old City in Jerusalem, which is a new wine shop in Jerusalem’s Jewish Quarter. While Israel’s “wine revolution” only took place in the last few decades, as we’ve said before, Israel has been making wine for thousands […] In: Wine industry Tags: Jerusalem, Jerusalem Wine and Art, jerusalem.com

30, Mar 2008 Share It suddenly seems like the secret is out. Israeli wine is coming near you – if it’s not already (another reason to move to Israel!). In addition to Israeli Wine Direct, whose wine should be shipping to California today, there is also a new Israel wine club called Israel Wine Company. (Note that I […] In: Wine industry|Wineries|Wines
27, Mar 2008 Share Passover is coming and this is a major time for kosher wines from around the world. As a result, this is a great opportunity to explore some Israeli wines. Again – while not all Israeli wines are kosher, most aren’t available in the US and don’t be scared off by the label – in […] In: Events Tags: Dalton, New York
26, Mar 2008 Share One of the great things about the up-and-coming Israeli wine world is that there are always new surprises and new improvements. Old wineries are dramatically improving and new wineries are releasing revolutionary new wines. Currently, the only sparkling wines in Israel are méthode champenoise (“traditional method”) from Pelter and the Golan Heights Winery (both […]
20 Oct 2009 Daniel Rogov’s Guide to Israeli Wine is coming out in a few weeks for 2010 (How did that happen?). He’s been publishing this annual guide to Israeli wine for the past several years and it keeps on getting bigger and bigger. One of the most interesting sections of Daniel Rogov’s Israeli wine tasting guide is his annual ranking of the Top 10 Best Wineries in Israel. In 2009, Daniel Rogov picked the following wineries: Golan Heights Winery […]
16, Mar 2008 Share I have just been informed by Richard of Israeli Wine Direct that limited quantities of Clos de Gat is being made available. Clos de Gat is also available in the US via some New York-based distributors, but besides IWD’s purchase, had to find outside of New York. Clos de Gat is an excellent boutique […] In: Wine industry Tags: Clos de Gat, Israel Wine Direct
12, Mar 2008 Share I’m not going to write much about the Golan Heights Winery because it is one of Israel’s best known – and best – wineries. If you aren’t familiar with their wines from the Katzrin, Yarden, Gamla, and Golan labels, than go out RIGHT now to pick something up (from the GHW, I would say, […] In: Wine industry|Wineries Tags: Golan Heights Winery
21, Mar 2008 Share I have said this before and I will say it again: Israeli doesn’t equal kosher and kosher doesn’t equal Israeli. That is to say a very simple thing – not all Israeli wines are kosher and not all kosher wines are Israeli. Why am I saying this AGAIN (and will keep on saying it)??? […] In: Kosher|Wine 101 Tags: kosher
10, Mar 2008 Share It’s no secret to readers of this blog that one of my favorite wineries is the Galil Mountain Winery (not, as my tour guide kept on annoyingly referring to it as the Mt. Galilee Winery). Owned by the vineyards (which also own the Golan Heights Winery) and Kibbutz Yiron, Galil Mountain makes some of […] In: Wineries Tags: Galil Mountain Winery
