Aging Wines, Worth the Wait?

September 7, 2022September 7, 2022 / Avi Davidowitz / 1 Comment

Wow. It has been a VERY long time since I posted. I have been very busy both professionally and personally – starting a new position at my day job and my daughter getting married - and so I have had no free time to spend on writing. So, while I apologize, I do hope you … Continue reading Aging Wines, Worth the Wait?

RCC Raanana Elul 5780 including a new Tokaji Aszú

August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

When I happen to be travelling on or close to Rosh Chodesh, and I can’t attend my regular Jerusalem based RCC, I try to attend one in the locality that I happen to find myself in. Even when I am at home in Israel, every now and then I attend an RCC either in addition … Continue reading RCC Raanana Elul 5780 including a new Tokaji Aszú

Ya’acov Oryah 2018 Releases

May 28, 2018 / Avi Davidowitz / 3 Comments

Before I start - a bit of a disclaimer - I consider Ya'acov Oryah a friend. That really does NOT impact what I think of his wines at all - but I think it's important to be up front about that when writing about wine and people expect objectivity. Now that that is out of … Continue reading Ya’acov Oryah 2018 Releases

RCC Israel #9

March 31, 2017June 17, 2018 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

So for a first, our Chef's decided to go Chalavi - which made everyone nervous considering the stellar wine list - but to everyone's surprise, the food worked incerdibly well with the wine - including a most unique pairing of blue cheese and the 2000 Leoville! My notes were sparse as the conversation around the … Continue reading RCC Israel #9
