When I first moved to Israel, about twenty years ago, most of the wines being sold were red, sweet and so coarse that one wondered why anyone would bother to drink them. The last two decades have seen a genuine wine revolution, and a host of large and small wineries are now producing wines that rival some of the best of California, Australia and other new-world wine producing nations. That Israeli wines are worth sampling and even cellaring is now beyond question. So good have many of these wines become that when I travel to Bordeaux, Burgundy or California, I bring them as gifts for my colleagues. Perhaps the best recommendation I can give many of these wines is that my cellar is bulging with them and some are so good that I am curious to see what they will taste like not only next year but in another decade.
