Barry and Beverly enjoyed a day touring around 3 Carmel Region Wineries on Friday, October 28th. This was an anniversary present from their Brother and sister-in-law for their 30th wedding and aliyah anniversary. We did many Le'chaim's! The first winery we visited was Amphorae Vineyards where they received a private tour and tasting. The guide at Amphorae explained the unique methods of their winery and the quality of their grapes which makes their delicious wines. They loved the Chardonnay 2007 and Port style wine.
The second winery visit was Tishbi Estate Winery where we ate a delicious lunch of pizza and salad along with a tasting of the French Reisling 2010, which is sold out, and the Shiraz 2007. After lunch we went to the Chocolate and Wine tasting room and enjoyed the dark chocolate with the port. Barry and Beverly enjoyed meeting Jonathan and Golan Tishbi! The last winery was Somek Winery in Zichon Yaakov. Barak Dahan, the owner and winemaker, toured Barry and Beverly around his boutqiue winery in his backyard. We drank the Chardonnay 2009, Admon 2008, Merlot 2005 and Bikat HaNadiv 2006. They loved Barak's wine and his passion for winemaking.
The day was a blast for Barry and Beverly and now when they go to a restaurant or a friend's house and wine is served, they know how to swirl, smell and taste!
Happy 30th Wedding and Aliyah Anniversary!
