QOTD: I’ve only had one cheap glass of mevushal (intentionally ‘cooked’) red wine from Carmel (Samson). It was reduced to clear at Tesco (UK’s Wal-Mart equivalent). It had a sort of simple plum flavour and also a component that reminded me of green seashell/seaside/algae minerality which was unusual but actually not entirely unpleasant. That was the only alcohol I drank and I was sick the next day. Don’t know if it was a reaction to something in the wine, but i think i’ll stick to regular kosher, or non-kosher Israeli wine in future instead of the treated stuff!

Best Israeli wine I ever had: 1985 Yarden Cabernet, past its time a few years ago, but the 1990 Yarden Cabernet and Katzrin Cabernet should be at peak now

Props for this show, I’m limited to kosher, but I hope Flam goes the way of Castel (started non then went kosher) Their Gran Vin 03 is mucho gusto

Wanna go to Israel? I can put you in touch with Grape-Man, Chaim Gan.

he has a website and is connected to all major wineries, kosher and not

A fan from Brooklyn, David

As an American/Israeli S.E.O. professional – this episode did all sorts of things for me – you have many fans at our company (matan media) and now an even bigger one for profiling Israeli wines. There are so many boutique wineries here – when are you coming out to Israel? Hit up an internet marketing conference and then some wine tasting?
