Good times for Israel wines
The Golan Heights winery's Yarden 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon came in at 91.  How cool is that!  Also pretty cool are the messages of congratulations I received from several industry contacts.  Although I had NOTHING to do with the making of this wine I feel like a proud parent...Having followed Israel wines for many years I knew this day would come.

Golan day, tanks, and NYC kosher crush
Spent the day in and around the Golan Heights today.  It is really spectacular there.  Just across the border from Syria.  It is wild how you can see Syria as you drive many of the high altitude roads of the Golan Heights.  That same high altitude by the way is one of the factors that contributes to its being a prime grape growing region.  Militarily, it is also a strategic location.  And there are military bases everywhere.  Just a tad different from my stomping grounds in NYC...

Carmel's quality wine revolution
As is being done at the Israel wine revolution leader Golan Heights Winery (AKA Yarden), Carmel is trying to get away from being labeled as kosher, and doing everything possible to instead be considered a World Class winery whose wines JUST SO HAPPEN to also be kosher...I fancy myself an aspiring Israeli wine expert, but I must admit that I have lots to do before I earn any such title.

  • Best bet (kosher) Israeli wines for Passover - at all price ranges...
    All very nice wines. The last wine I want to bring up in this category comes from the Golan Heights Winery, famous for its Yarden wines. NO, I am not a fan of the Yarden "Mt. Hermon" wines, but the GH Winery has a 2nd label you should all familiarize yourselves with - GAMLA. Similar to the Galil mountain wines, Gamla once produced wines that I was not very fond of.... Another crowded and popular space, one which I frequent these days for big shabbat dinners is the $15-$20 space. A recurring theme, we will once again find Dalton & Galil Mountain here.
