Wow - this is the latest I have ever gotten an RCC post out. Hopefully, this is getting posted no later than Rosh Chodesh Nisan. My last post was just super long and took me a while to put together – so hopefully things can now proceed at a normal pace. RCC Adar Bet this … Continue reading RCC Israel #46 – Adar Bet 5784 – 50th Birthday Celebration

RCC Israel # 45 – Tamuz 5783 at Mojo’s
During the summer it’s always hard to find people to cook and so we decided to go with a restaurant this month. The restaurant in question is Mojo’s, which is a new venture by the Maller family. Tzvi Maller has a number of restaurants under his belt - most recently Crave in Jerusalem and Nobo … Continue reading RCC Israel # 45 – Tamuz 5783 at Mojo’s
RCC Israel # 44 – Adar 5783
I have a number of posts that I am behind on – and I hopefully will get to them over the next week or two. But, as always when Rosh Chodesh rolls along, I need to stop what I’m doing and get the RCC post out, and even that is behind due to work commitments … Continue reading RCC Israel # 44 – Adar 5783
RCC Israel # 43 – Shevat 5783
I have three posts that I am working on simultaneously regarding various tastings – but before I could finish any of them a new month has begun – and that means an RCC has taken place. Again, we had the pleasure of having Chef Amrom Pitterman cook for us, and again, I hosted it in … Continue reading RCC Israel # 43 – Shevat 5783
RCC Israel #42 – Kislev 5783
The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazy for me. My niece Zahava got married, and the entire family flew to the US for the wedding and sheva brachot week. (Shout out to my dear friends Yael & Donny, who hosted our entire family of seven while we were visiting for this trip … Continue reading RCC Israel #42 – Kislev 5783
RCC Israel #41 – Adar-1 5782
My next post on France is basically written – just editing now – but before I post that, I figured I would quickly write up this month’s RCC. I don’t like to postpone those as I take shorthand notes during those tastings, and if I wait too long I have a hard time reconstructing what … Continue reading RCC Israel #41 – Adar-1 5782
RCC Israel # 40 – Shevat 5782
OK. This is it. THIS is the last post prior to my France posts - of which the first is 90% done. I just couldn’t let an RCC pass without a write up. Hopefully I will get all the France posts done before the next RCC. I’ll keep it brief though - as I really … Continue reading RCC Israel # 40 – Shevat 5782
RCC Israel # 39 – Tevet 5782
It’s been quite a busy month wine-wise. I am in the middle of a number of articles, including my trip to France, which was a lot of fun with some truly excellent wines. At the same time, it has been very busy professionally and personally and so I am VERY behind on my writing. Luckily, … Continue reading RCC Israel # 39 – Tevet 5782
RCC Israel # 38 – Kislev 5782
For the first time in almost two years, we were able to hold a “normal” RCC at someone’s home rather than a restaurant. I have to say - it was great to be back to normal. While there are some benefits to going to a restaurant - certainly in terms of cleanup -- nothing beats … Continue reading RCC Israel # 38 – Kislev 5782
RCC Israel #37 – Iyar 5781
I was beginning to fear that RCC’s were a thing of the past, but thankfully we were able to finally get back to business this month with RCC Iyar. Everyone at the RCC has already been fully vaccinated, but we decided to return to Eucalyptus as the evening needed to be put together quickly with … Continue reading RCC Israel #37 – Iyar 5781
