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.  YES, that Carmel, of the sweet, thick sacramental wine.  Neither stuck, but how cool is that?!

the winery does produce several other wines that have been of particular interest of late.  are their single varietal Merlot , Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz.  The last Israeli wine I want to mention is a wine I recently tried for the first time, the Golan Cabernet Sauvignon.  I'm sorry for the delay in writing this post. 

Also in the $13-$14 range from Galil Mountain and worth checking out is their Merlot &/or Shiraz. 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.

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