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.  I have heard some criticism regarding the high alcohol levels of some of Israels wines. 

Both are great (as long as the '05's which have been out for well over a year were stored properly) but the 2006 were rated slightly higher by Israeli wine critic Daniel Rogov. The last wine I want to bring up in this category comes from the Golan Heights Winery, famous for its Yarden wines. The Dalton Canaan Red.

will be copying a list of wines & their scores from Israeli Wine Critic Daniel Rogov's "Wine & Food Forum".  Well ladies and gentlemen, the results are in. I am waiting for my physical copy of the issue to arrive before I comment specifically.  More comments later.  Without further ado, the scores.
