QOTD = Nope.

Gary LOLZ you looked like you went into a blank stare after that last one hahaha. Good episode.

QOTD:
– I have never had a kosher wine at all

News…, The rabbis name on the back of the wine bottle does not mean that he blessed it!! He just ensures that the wine was manufactured according to Jewish dietary restrictions. Kosher does not mean pure or holy or anything like that.
Me thinks however, that if those two wines impressed Gary, then there are many other Israeli wines that will blow him away. Israel’s unique microclimate is produces unique fruity, full bodied, bold and powerful wines. (reply to an earlier post: Gamla Cabernet Sauvignon is indeed Kosher. Search for a bottle from 2003–drinking great right now.)
AND OF COURSE… J-E-T-S jets jets jets. I’m pumped for the new season!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Kosher wine over 20 U.S. bones?

No wonder you were shocked!

Anyone who followed the recent T-Shirt Contest knows how I feel about MANISCHEWITZ EXTRA HEAVY MALAGA — Mmmm-m-m-m-m — and that’s under 10 U.S. bones!

William

QOTD: But of course! I’ve been drinking Manischewitz since I was 3! Not to mention all those under $20 Kosher dry wines. They aren’t much better.

I am trying as many Kosher wines as I can and hoping some are pretty good so my wife would be more receptive to joining me for a glass. She’s Jewish and thought this may be a segway. I’ll try anything.

QOTD: No I haven’t spent over 20 bones but finished off a bottle of Segal Cab last night. For 15 bones, it’s quite good as you attest.

Be on the lookout for some TC trinkets.

Cheers!

P.S. For that last wine, RP 90-92 and G-Man 69! Houston, we have a problem.

Two mediocre wines from the same winery? A $70 California Cab?

Gary, there are so many better priced and higher quality kosher wines, particularly from Israel. I would have had the Castel Grand Vin 2004 (Kosher) instead of the Covenant. It’s at least $20 cheaper, and unlike Covenant, it has a longstanding reputation for excellence. Equally good, if not better, you have the Yarden Cabernet 2003 coming in at $25 and the newly released Yarden El-Rom Cabernet ($45), both of which garnered higher scores than the Covenant by Israel’s renowned wine critic, Daniel Rogov.

Insofar as less expensive wines are concerned, there are excellent offerings from Golan Heights Winery’s mid-level Gamla label, not to mention Israel’s many other industrial and boutique offerings.

Judging by the comments above, I’d like to request that this episode get a much deserved DO-OVER!!

OK, I’ve been a lurker long enough.
What do you have to say about Morgon?

It’s okay, breathe deep and have a nice cup of Lapsang Souchong or something.

QOD: I don’t think I’ve ever had a kosher wine, price notwithstanding. I do love me some latkes, though.

Gary: Kosher wine episode with two wines from “Hevron hights” â?¦ Come onâ?¦
There are so many great wines in Israel. Try some of the Single Vineyard wines from Carmel winery or, Appellation Wines by Carmel. What about “Yatir” winery??
Please do another episode before the Holidays.

0 for 3 – oh well, these episodes are useful as well – will keep skipping this section of the wine shop until we hear something good!

QOTD: Never had one at any price – doesn’t look like I’ll be going for one anytime soon.

never had a kosher wine…. wait is manichecwitz kosher?, I had that.

nice show gary… time for show on blends. oh and wheres that wine club you mentioned?

Don’t think I’ve EVER had a Kosher wine. Must seek out Kosher wine. Must drink, kosher wine. Warrior needs kosher wine badly.

QOTD: No never had one and don’t plan to. Too expensive.

I’m a NY Giants fan and right now am as confused as to why the Giants traded Philip Rivers for Eli as you were with that last wine. I really think Eli’s confused out on the field.
QOTD no.

QOTD: None ever, and none yet. Sorry the episode went 0 for 3 on the kosher wines.

Have never had a kosher wine…

QOTD – never had kosher wine period no matter the price point…..

69 points for a $69 bottle of wine, I think I’ll give it a major Pazzzzzzzzzz
with 10 Z’s.

Yeh, the whole Baron Herzog lineup…over/under 20. They’re 10 minutes away and their tasting room/winery/restaurant is beautiful as are their wines and grub.

Very interesting ep. Welcome back.
QOTD: Haven’t, but will try soon.

I’m a newbie…… at heart. WLTV hasn’t failed to be fresh and exciting yet.

You and Chris have a pic with the wristband and a collection of TC’s in your email. They’ll be a FedEx at the store in the morning. I can do no more (actually I can/did but that’s for another day). Quit your bellyaching.

QOTD: I believe I’m sitting on one (either that or my butt has gotten awfully lumpy of late). I can’t be bothered to wade through Cork’d individually and since I can’t export the list I’ll opt to reserve a response until I run across it and then I’ll post it when it’s least relevant to the subject at hand (I have standards and a tradition to uphold don’t you know).

Welcome back.

It’s OK to be stupefied in the face of wine: Happens to me all the time!
I’ve had manichewitz. I only keep kosher when the urge hits me. It hasn’t hit me in the last three years, so I haven’t sought out any kosher wines. I see them all the time on the shelves of the local store, though.

I’m sticking with my current obsession: Washington Wines and producers. Trying to learn the homeland. You should join me one day on WLTV!

Megan

what a downer of a finish- sorry that wine sucked. QOTD: I dont think so. I think I own a Baron Herzog but thats where my Kosherness starts and ends.

Another nice episode Gary, keep up the good work. I love how you were baffled in the end… interesting and intriguing, profound.
