• Wine starts in the Vineyard - Golan Heights Winery
  
  Made a trip back up to the Golan Heights today.  Making wines exclusively grown in the Golan Heights region on its volcanic soils (a result of two volvano eruptions - the most recent a short million years ago), GHW (Golan Heights Winery) grows 22 varietals and produces close to 30 wines.  And that does not include the wines made in the Galilee region by its sister winery Galil Mountain. Starting Once again, feeling like a VIP (I think I can get used to this) I was taken on a private tour of some vineyards and given a tasting of selected wines.

• Golan day, tanks, and NYC kosher crush
  
  Spent the day in and around the Golan Heights today.  It is wild how you can see Syria as you drive many of the high altitude roads of the Golan Heights.  Visiting wineries up in The Golan Heights getting caught behind TANKS that are being transported.   a COMPLETELY UNRELATED topic, my good friends It is really spectacular there.  Just across the border from Syria.

• Blending Wines...
  
  I'm headed up North tomorrow to the Galil region which includes the highly regarded Galil & Golan Heights viticultural sections. While at a winery last week talking to a winemaker he had some visitors.  I was in Jerusalem for the last day and made my way upon the holiday's completion from Jerusalem to a winery near Sederot.  Has it only been a week?  Time does fly when you are having fun, but I have been doing SO MUCH running around that I can't believe I have only been in Israel for 1 week so far (OK, 9 days).

• Good times for Israel wines
  
  Having worked at Israeli wineries I was sure that others would eventually acknowledge the high quality of up-and-coming Israeli wines.  The Golan Heights winery's Yarden 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon came in at 91.  Having followed Israel wines for many years I knew this day would come.  Having chosen a career in Israeli wines I have PRAYED for universal acceptance of Israeli wines.

• Carmel's quality wine revolution
  
  Among the many things I must do is to better acquaint myself with one of Israel's oldest wineries - Carmel.  Well guess what folks, quietly the Carmel people have made HUGE advances in the vineyards, winery & their resulting products.  Clearly they are doing things right at Carmel (marketing wise as well as winemaking) as I was subsequently thanked via email and invited to the winery for a more formal introduction to Carmel and the changes that have been implemented I fancy myself an aspiring Israeli wine expert, but I must admit that I have lots to do before I earn any such title.

• Misinformed - what to do with a bad wine educator?
  
  Among the instructor's opening statements was a proclamation that the Israeli wine industry took a major step forward with the introduction of the Golan Heights Winery 15 years ago  (it was more like 25 years ago). The last thing I recall was that he spoke of a favorite Israeli winery of his as one that is 2-3 years old (the winery is actually 10 years old but did only start to release wines about 6 years ago). How I attended an Israeli wine tasting at a local cultural center earlier this week. The instructor spoke both about the Israeli wine industry as well

• Wines for the New (Jewish) Year UNDER $30
  
  the winery does produce several other wines that have been of particular interest of late.  The last Israeli wine I want to mention is a wine I recently tried for the first time, the Golan Cabernet Sauvignon .  The Golan Cab was featured by wine writer Howard Goldberg in the NY Times in August , and as it turns out is a damn good wine.  I'm sorry for the delay in writing this post.  I have gotten MANY requests for my Rosh Hashana suggestions.

• Best bet (kosher) Israeli wines for Passover - at all price ranges...
  
  The last wine I want to bring up in this category comes from the Golan Heights Winery, famous for its Yarden wines. Hermon" wines, but the GH Winery has a 2nd label you should all familiarize yourselves with - GAMLA. But there is a winery I have not yet mentioned - Recanati. I have been asked by countless people which wines I would recommend they check out for Passover, so I thought it appropriate to blog for the masses. I
