RCC Israel # 39 – Tevet 5782

December 19, 2021December 20, 2021 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

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

Catching Up on Recent Israeli Vintages

November 5, 2021November 5, 2021 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

It’s been way too long. I’m sorry for that. Life and work got in the way of writing. I’m still very busy, but I want to clear the decks before going out to France to taste, so I’ll briefly recap where we are in Israel wine-wise in this post and then maybe do one or … Continue reading Catching Up on Recent Israeli Vintages

Some of Royal’s 2018 Reds and 2020 Whites and Rosés

May 13, 2021May 14, 2021 / Avi Davidowitz / 1 Comment

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

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

Seder 2020

April 7, 2020April 7, 2020 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

Wine writing is something that I take pleasure in ordinarily. It allows me to crystallize my thoughts about whatever topic it is that I am writing about. If I happen to be writing about specific bottles, as opposed to a general topic, it actually helps me to commit the notes to memory - as well … Continue reading Seder 2020

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

KFWE 2019 Tour Part 8: The Wrap Up

March 10, 2019March 11, 2019 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

8 posts - too many. If I do this again I'm going to have to condense these into something more manageable. Before I get to my overall impressions of the shows as a whole. I wanted to wait until after all of the KFWE's to write about the wines - as there is of course … Continue reading KFWE 2019 Tour Part 8: The Wrap Up

2017 Vitkin Israeli Journey Red & Babi’s shloshim

January 22, 2019January 22, 2019 / Avi Davidowitz / 4 Comments

This past month has been a little difficult personally. First and foremost, my grandmother Phoebe Davidowitz passed away. (While not at all wine related, out of respect for my grandmother you can find my hesped [eulogy] for her here). To top that off, 2 days before she died, my father while on his way to … Continue reading 2017 Vitkin Israeli Journey Red & Babi’s shloshim

Blind Tastings with David Raccah and friends

December 10, 2018 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

When I visit the US, I usually spend some quality time with fellow wine-lovers who I get to see too infrequently. But with limited time (and funds), I basically stick to the NY/NJ area each trip to be close to my family. That makes visiting with friends from other areas a real treat. Luckily David … Continue reading Blind Tastings with David Raccah and friends

2016 Vitkin Gewürztraminer Collector’s Edition

February 18, 2018 / Avi Davidowitz / Leave a comment

A new wine store opened up in Beit Shemesh and I decided to take a visit. Most of the wines were standard, but one pleasant surprise was finding the  2016 Vitkin Gewürztraminer Collector’s Edition. Outside of the Rose and the Red Israeli Journey, Vitkin has been hard to find in any of the wine stores … Continue reading 2016 Vitkin Gewürztraminer Collector’s Edition
