Yossie Comes for a Visit

December 17, 2018 / Avi / 4 Comments

As I have written previously, it's really nice when friends from abroad join us either for RCC's or to get together for tastings or winery visits or really whatever. One of the people I enjoy spending time with is Yossie Horwitz. Besides writing his weekly newsletter and FB page, Yossie is of course perhaps most … Continue reading Yossie Comes for a Visit

RCC Israel #20 – and on the lack of age-able whites

May 15, 2018May 15, 2018 / Avi / Leave a comment

And now we are out of the teens.... For RCC Israel #20 we decided to go dairy in honor of the upcoming Shavuot holiday. This is always a challenge as most wines that are age-able and RCC worthy are reds. That doesn't mean there aren't excellent choices for whites and Roses - there are and … Continue reading RCC Israel #20 – and on the lack of age-able whites

2017 Carmel Appellation Gewürztraminer

April 5, 2018April 5, 2018 / Avi / Leave a comment

Last night I tasted the 2017 Carmel Appellation Rosé and was super impressed (notes to come eventually). I figured maybe they did a nice job on the Gewurtz as well. I was wrong. Sadly, while the price is OK (NIS 45), the wine itself falls flat in every area. The nose is very muted with … Continue reading 2017 Carmel Appellation Gewürztraminer

A Tale of 2 (2017 Tabor) Gewürzes

March 5, 2018March 5, 2018 / Avi / 1 Comment

I though it might be interesting as a one off to review 2 wines at once - primarily because they are both the same varietal, produced by the same winery, in nominally the same style, at price points that are not magnitudes apart (though in actuality 1 does cost 40% less than the other). I … Continue reading A Tale of 2 (2017 Tabor) Gewürzes

2016 Vitkin Gewürztraminer Collector’s Edition

February 18, 2018 / Avi / Leave a comment

A new wine store opened up in Beit Shemesh and I decided to take a visit. Most of the wines were standard, but one pleasant surprise was finding the  2016 Vitkin Gewürztraminer Collector’s Edition. Outside of the Rose and the Red Israeli Journey, Vitkin has been hard to find in any of the wine stores … Continue reading 2016 Vitkin Gewürztraminer Collector’s Edition

RCC Israel # 13

August 24, 2017June 17, 2018 / Avi / Leave a comment

Bracha was back in the kitchen this month with Uri  - and the weather cooperated. We had some excellent food - with a great take on Goose Breast  - and of course another spectacular desert! Wines were again incredible - the Frere Robaire was the winner for me followed by the Herzog, Special Edition, Cabernet Sauvignon, … Continue reading RCC Israel # 13

RCC Israel #12

August 3, 2017August 14, 2018 / Avi / 1 Comment

Uri cooked solo this month - and despite some technical difficulties still pulled off some wonderful food!  It was REALLY hot that night - and it was a tough environment to cook in. Standout wines of the night were the Masada 2010 which was awesome and the GHW CS 1997 - that's right - 1997! … Continue reading RCC Israel #12

RCC Israel #1

June 5, 2016January 15, 2018 / Avi / Leave a comment

Our first RCC Israel was held on June 5th, 2016*. The food was excellent. My very abbreviated and informal notes on the wines were as follows: Ella Valley Vineyards, Vineyards Choice , Petite Syrah, 2008 - died in the glass within 5 minutes - but it was likely a bad bottle. Need to retry. Carmel Limited … Continue reading RCC Israel #1
