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
France Trip 2022 – Part 5 – The Blind Tastings
This will be my final post about my most recent trip to France – but buckle up – it’s going to cover over 60 wines!

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
Shiran Winery 2021 Visit
I often get asked how I choose the wineries that I write about. The answer since COVID at least has been the same - I write about those that invite me to taste. It’s really that simple - I’m easy like that. And so a few weeks ago, I got a text from Eli Shiran … Continue reading Shiran Winery 2021 Visit
M & M Importers Current Lineup is Exceptional
Well, I saved the best for last. If you’ve been following my last couple of posts, after over a year I was finally able to take a trip in to the US to see family.

Some of Royal’s 2018 Reds and 2020 Whites and Rosés
Due to the crazy circumstances this year, all trips were cancelled and therefore it was impossible to taste what was not local. While Royal made an effort to reach out to consumers with a Virtual KFWE, those of us in Israel were out of luck. Some of my colleagues have received samples from Royal – … Continue reading Some of Royal’s 2018 Reds and 2020 Whites and Rosés
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
Vitkin Wine Dinner at Herbert Samuel and July 2020 Winery Visit
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
