    Hi, Don’t know if this helps and I have no evidence other than what I’ve been to told. Samuel Perez is not a Rabbi, or even Jewish, and probably doesn’t exist. He may have worked for Herzog and ran a little side business for a few years. That’s all I know. i discovered these wines several years ago and was shocked at the value for money. the CCC Cab Syrah blend, is for me, the best. However the sediment is very heavy and too annoying, so I don’t bother anymore. Best, Martin B

      Martin – I think he was a mashgiach at Herzog – that is according to many who worked with him at Herzog. I do not know if he is a Rabbi either. That he was running a business making wine on the side is clear as well. What the overlap and all is is unknown to me. I agree that the best of the group is the 50/50 Cab/syrah 2005 blend. The sediment does not bug me too much 🙂

    Rabbi Samuel Perez’s past business ventures include a dozen years in kosher wine production and consulting. Perez established Kiddush Hashem Cellars in 2001 and went on to great success. When speaking of Kiddush Hashem’s Syrah, Wolfgang Puck of Spago said, “This is the best Kosher Syrah I have ever tasted.”

    Perez and business partner Robert Lozano have since turned their focus into Confianza Investment Group, LLC. Lozano’s was previously the owner-operator of Emmanuel Christian Book Store. Lozano and Perez are combining their business experience and expertise to reach opportunity in the market.

    They are dedicated to helping others and proceeds that are produced from this venue will be given to missionary work.

  4. […] I was really looking forward to enjoying for too long. The list included a perennial winner, the 2001 El Rom Cabernet Sauvignon and a pair of Yarden wines, including a very hyped wine; the 2007 ROM. In the end, the ROM was OK at […]
