Herzog’s 2013 International Food and Wine Festival in Los Angeles begins at 6pm Pacific tonight. There are a lot of wines and not a lot of time. It’s a good idea to prepare a list of the wines that you wine to taste, ideally sticking to new releases. Here are some new wines that I [...]

  The 2010 Teperberg Terra Malbec is the fourth in a series of Israeli varietal Malbec that is increasingly improving from vintage to vintage. Though French in origin, varietal Malbec has enjoyed better success in warm countries south of the equator, most notably Argentina. Since Israel features a combination of desert and tropical climates, there [...]

2012 flew by and it’s time again for the International Food & Wine Festival (IFWF). The 7th annual IFWF will be held again at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Century City on February 6, 2013. The festival features a wide array of wines and liquor from Royal Wine’s vast portfolio as well a delectable delights [...]

  A rich blend of Syrah (40%) and Grenache (60%) that hails from a stellar vintage for the southern Rhone wine region of France. Young, but developing nicely, this is a concentrated and intriguing wine packaged in well-toned frame. This objet d’art oozes dark flavors of cassis, black licorice, and turkish coffee from its core, striped with [...]

In 2007 Yarden released two single vineyard Syrah’s: Yonatan Vineyard Syrah and Avital Slope Vineyard Syrah. While both are excellent productions of the varietal, I feel that the Avital Slope is the better of the two and arguably the best kosher Syrah in Israel’s modern wine history. The wine’s color and nose are youthful and [...]

Which retailer you should buy it from largely depends on where you’re located… For those of you living in any of the western or mid-western US, Kosherwine.com has the best deal when factoring in [...]

The 2008 vintage of Herzog’s Special Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon steps out of the bounds delineated by over a decade’s worth of releases making it a challenger to Herzog’s iconic Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This feat was accomplished in at least three ways. First, it’s a 50/50 blend of Napa Valley and Alexander Valley [...]

2010 is the second vintage of Jonathan Hajdu’s single varietal Grenache, this time produced using fruit sourced from Eagle Point Ranch in California’s Medocino County. This wine is every bit as giant as the name/label indicates and especially potent in its infancy, best only after hours of decanting. In true Hajdu style, this Grenache greets [...]

The 2009 vintage of this blend, typically over shadowed by Herzog’s single varietal releases, is a stunner. An equal blend of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and San Joaquin Valley Syrah, this blend hits the mark of truly exceeding the sum of its parts. Toasted oak frames the entry leading to rich mocha and dark fruit [...]
