France, January 2025 – Part 1 – Royal

February 28, 2025February 28, 2025 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

When I first made the decision to bump my visits to France to twice a year, I expected to have less wine to taste per trip. These trips to France are always with my friend David Raccah of Kosher Wine Musings, and he has been doing this twice a year since the start. When I … Continue reading France, January 2025 – Part 1 – Royal

Teperberg Winemakers and their Wines

February 2, 2023February 2, 2023 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

It’s funny. I live in Beit Shemesh, which is about 35 minutes from Jerusalem and 45 minutes from Tel Aviv. By far the closest winery to me geographically is Teperberg – which is only a 6 minute drive (beating out Tzora, which is about 8 minutes away). But, I haven’t been there to taste wine … Continue reading Teperberg Winemakers and their Wines

RCC Israel # 43 – Shevat 5783

January 26, 2023January 26, 2023 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

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 # 35 – Shevat 5780

February 4, 2020 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

This month we had the opportunity to work with a chef whom I have been wanting to try for a long time - Amrom Pitterman. Each time I would try, he was busy or abroad, and so other arrangements were always made. But the stars aligned this month, and we were beneficiaries of five excellent … Continue reading RCC Israel # 35 – Shevat 5780

RCC Israel # 34 – Tevet 5780

January 2, 2020January 3, 2020 / Avi Davidowitz / 1 Comment

This month we scheduled RCC to be New Year's Eve and took the opportunity to ring in 2020 with an appropriate 20 wines. Chef on duty was Avi Katz, who did a nice job overall with the food. A couple of highlights there were the potato soup with crispy lamb bacon, which was excellent - … Continue reading RCC Israel # 34 – Tevet 5780

RCC Israel # 29 – Adar Bet 5779

March 13, 2019March 13, 2019 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

It's nice to get back to some sort of normalcy after the crazy KFWE tour and posts. Cool to get back in the saddle with our annual V'Nhafoch RCC. Each year during Adar we prohibit Israeli wines - not as a commentary on the state of Israeli wine, but rather because we naturally sample Israeli … Continue reading RCC Israel # 29 – Adar Bet 5779

RCC Israel # 24 – Tishrei 5779

September 5, 2018September 6, 2018 / Avi Davidowitz / 1 Comment

Scheduling an RCC for Tishrei is always tricky.  There are very few usable days in the month because of the chagim - early in the month is hard becasue of all of the prep for each chag and pushing it until after means that you are very close to the next month. Doing it before … Continue reading RCC Israel # 24 – Tishrei 5779

2017 Psagot Cabernet Franc

August 12, 2018August 12, 2018 / Avi Davidowitz / 1 Comment

As I've written before, when wineries change winemakers there is often an internal conflict between giving the winemaker free reign to make wines as he/she sees fit and creating a wine that fits in with the profile of previous vintages of the same bottle - especially when the previous vintages have been successful. Often times … Continue reading 2017 Psagot Cabernet Franc

RCC Israel # 15

November 7, 2017June 18, 2018 / Avi Davidowitz / 1 Comment

This was a very special & unique night. Not only were we celebrating the new month (late and I guess not so new anymore) but Simon Jacob's birthday - and for that, we went all out and broke a few of our rules . We opened the evening up to as many participants as we … Continue reading RCC Israel # 15
