Delicious Rewards for Good Deeds and Celebrated Wines
An enticing menu has been announced for the 10th Annual Golden Cluster’s Awards Gala Dinner, what’s billed as the “Oscars of Israeli Wines.” The proceeds from this year’s dinner will go to the Schneider’s Children’s Medical Center of Israel. This well anticipated festive evening will be held at the Dan Panorama Hotel in Tel Aviv June 18th featuring an array of gourmet dishes from some of Israel’s most esteemed chefs.
The Gala Dinner will this year include original dishes and treats from chefs Meir Adoni (Catit , Hamizlala), Aviv Friel (Ozoria), Yossi Shitrit (Kitchen Market), Lily Milili (Thai House), Me Rogzinsky (Vanilli), baker Eli Avraham (Lachma), confectioner Naama Steyr (formerly of Herbert) and Host Chef: Isaac Yadgar – head chef of the Dan Panorama Hotel.
The awards dinner and accompanying wine auction will be hosted by returning amiable veteran radio personality Amnon Peer.
Th
e dinner historically attracts many of Israel’s best winemakers as they compete for Israeli wines’ most respected awards in a wide array of categories judged in blind tastings. Every year there are surprises from both larger commercial and smaller boutique wineries as the wines get to speak for themselves and the awards are a great way for these wines to find a new audience inside and outside Israel.
Of course, a fantastic dinner makes winning an award even more memorable and lessens the sting away for those who can still go home knowing they supported a worthy cause.
