 On, July 18th Esther and Sherry, both knowledgeable in wine from around the World, enjoyed a beautiful day at 3 Jerusalem Wineries. We first tasted the wines of Tzora Winery. Shula, the manager of the Visitors Center, explained the different regions where they grow their grapes, and how each label represents the taste of that region.  Next we visited Flam Winery where Israel Flam, an expert winemaker took us on a personal tour of the facilities, including their oak barrel room. We then tasted their variety of wines, from the Classico, which is simple and enjoyable to the Reserve Merlot and Cabernet, which are full-bodied, flavorful, and balanced. On our way back to Jerusalem we stopped at Abu Gosh and ate delicious hummus, salad, pita, chicken shlishik and a rice/lamb dish at the Caravan Restaurant.  Our final destination was Castel Winery. As per a request from Esther, since she loves Castel wines and buys them frequently in New York, we had a private tour with Ruti, the manager of Castel, and enjoyed a matching cheese and wine tasting CommentsLeave a Reply |   Esther Cohen, CEOI moved to Israel in June 2008 not knowing what I was going to do in Israel.
