This post will (finally) wrap up my trip with my friend David Raccah of Kosher Wine Musings to France this past November. I have to say the most fun part of each of these trips is the time that we get to spend together when we are NOT at formal tastings with other people. Its … Continue reading France – November 2023 – Part 4 – Hotel Wines

Aging Wines, Worth the Wait?
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 Israel # 39 – Tevet 5782

On top of that, from a food perspective, Uri put out his best … Continue reading RCC Israel # 30 – Sivan 5779
RCC Israel # 23 – Elul 5778

I would point out the highlights, but really, they were all incredible, the Sashimi had incredible freshness and heat, the Pho had some incredible flavors layered in a … Continue reading RCC Israel # 23 – Elul 5778
RCC Israel # 15
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
