The Sommelier 2011 was held at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv. This year there were about 40 wineries in attendance, including the large wineries and many boutique wineries. Some of the wineries that attended were: Gvaot, Adir, Saslove, Amphorae, Avidan, Naaman, Ramot Neftali, Clos de Gat, Domaine Ventura, Alexander, Tulip, Chateau Golan, Or Haganuz, Binyamina, Tishbi Estate, Carmel, Yatir, Golan Heights, Barkan and many more.
I only went for one evening, which for some people in the wine industry, were there for 2 full days. One highlight of my evening was meeting with Roni Saslove, winemaker at Saslove Winery and enjoying a tasting and discussion with her about marketing Saslove, which is now kosher, to the United States market. I tasted their new Avivim series and quite enjoyed the Aviv Cabernet! I always enjoy seeing my friends and colleagues in the Israeli wine industry and also seeing how much the industry develops each year in number and quality.
