Here's to the Holy Land

Israeli wine deserves to escape the ghetto.

Yarden Mt. Hermon Galilee 2003, red, very nice blend, 14% (“bleshed is ole what's his name”). Sandy

Unfortunately the SOMA TJs doesn’t have either of these Baron Herzog wines. There’s shelf space for the Chenin Blanc, but not the Zin. K&L will be getting their wines in by this weekend, very little on offer on...

to make of it. I tend to go for whites when I’m there like Yarden's Chardonnay.

Jason and others may want to reassess Israeli wine. I’m not impressed with the big growers like Gamla/Yarden and Carmel’s new single vineyard wines. But definitely worth a look are: Yatir Clos du Gat Castel Ella Valley...

It is of course all relative to what you consider expensive and also whether or not you need it to be Mevushal. “Real” champagne that is kosher is in the $30 - $70 price range. Yarden in Israel makes a Blanc de' Blanc...

Check out this site:http://www.kosherwinereview.com/ I have had Yarden and Bartenura whites, actually at my son’s simcha, and they were quite acceptable.

Believing that wine and food usually have a cultural and geographic connection (especially when you nothing else to go by!), I tried a Yarden Cab. 2006. Not a stellar wine on its own, it work perfectly with this meal (or so said...

Hafner in Austria makes a kosher ice-wine. There is also a Yarden wine that is simulated ice-wine. I don’t even know what bio-dynamic means. :-)

Here are several kosher reds that I wouldn’t mind receiving from family/friends, along with price from http://www.kosherwine.com : 1. Yarden Katzrin Red 2000 $99.99/bottle 2. Castel Grand Vin 2002 $46.99 3. Castel Petit Castel...

There are many excellent kosher wines on the market these days. Goose Bay, out of New Zealand, makes a delicious pinot noir and a wonderful sauvignon blanc, both at a reasonable price. I would happily drink them even if they were...

. This is a nicely done kosher market, with a great selection of wines. I found the Yarden Katzrin here ($91.99-too rich for me) as well as a couple of the single-orchard Yarden wines (I think one was $36 and the other $40) that...

is also a problem, and you have to be selective to bring a bottle of mevushal wine that stands up to the food (some of the Yarden, k’mevushal, work). Judged on pure excellence of the food, presentation, and cooking, it is...

Becky – Saw your request while searching for online site for passover wine gift. IMHO, Yarden and Gamla (Israel) are consistently good and pricey. In moderate pricing: Teal Lake (Australia) - pace others & Baron Herzog...

Yarden Wines, made by the Golan Heights Winery are all very good wines. I find the kosher French wines to be poor at the lower price ranges, but haven’t tried those.
