Ya’acov Oryah 2020 Portfolio Tasting

August 12, 2020November 26, 2020 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

This is the last post that I “owe” from tastings that happened a couple of months ago.  As we say in Hebrew – Achron Achron Chaviv – which can be roughly translated as last but certainly not least – Ya’acov Oryah. As always, let me start by saying Ya’acov is a friend, and while I … Continue reading Ya’acov Oryah 2020 Portfolio Tasting

Vitkin Wine Dinner at Herbert Samuel and July 2020 Winery Visit

July 23, 2020July 23, 2020 / Avi Davidowitz / 1 Comment

This post has been a long time coming. Months actually. I returned from my last trip to the US at the very end of February and the very next open week night - I think it was March 1 – I attended another wine dinner at Herbert Samuel in Hertzlia, this time for Vitkin. I … Continue reading Vitkin Wine Dinner at Herbert Samuel and July 2020 Winery Visit

France Trip 2019 – Part 2 – Alsace & Koenig

December 2, 2019December 4, 2019 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

For the first part in this series see here. Next stop on our French tour was the Alsace region. To get there, David & I took a train at about 8 am to Strasbourg, which got us there at about 11 am. We then did a little shopping for yet more wine for this evening’s … Continue reading France Trip 2019 – Part 2 – Alsace & Koenig

The Great Experiment

November 7, 2019November 7, 2019 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

Apologies for what will be a VERY long post – there was a lot to cover. Also - full disclaimer – Ya’acov Oryah is a friend. I don’t believe that impacts how I rate his wine, but it’s important for you to know that for the sake of transparency. “The true method of knowledge is … Continue reading The Great Experiment

RCC Israel # 30 – Sivan 5779

June 5, 2019June 5, 2019 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

After a 2 month hiatus, we finally held another RCC Israel - and we came back with a vengeance. Not only was this one of our better lineups on paper - when it came time to drink, there were very few disappointments. On top of that, from a food perspective, Uri put out his best … Continue reading RCC Israel # 30 – Sivan 5779

Ya’acov Oryah 2019 Portfolio Tasting and a lot more

Note: Before I start, I just want to disclose that Ya'acov is a friend. While I don't believe that our friendship impacts my notes, I do want make sure that you kind readers have that information in hand when glancing through my scribbles. 2nd Note: Apologies in advance for the length of this post. I … Continue reading Ya’acov Oryah 2019 Portfolio Tasting and a lot more

Vitkin Winery Visit – April 2019

April 24, 2019April 25, 2019 / Avi Davidowitz / 1 Comment

Since becoming Kosher with the 2015 vintage, Vitkin has pretty much shot to the top of the list of wineries which produce a consistently good line of wines. That's not say there aren't occasional misses here and there - but it is rare. In fact, having tasted almost all of the kosher output until now, … Continue reading Vitkin Winery Visit – April 2019

Yossie Comes for a Visit

December 17, 2018 / Avi Davidowitz / 5 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 Davidowitz / 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 Davidowitz / 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
