[…] There will be a rose again in 2017, from the looks of it. The winery produced 40K bottles in 2016 and looks to be bottling 50K in 2017. My many thanks again to Shivi Drori and the rest of the winery for putting up with me in the middle of harvest. The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]
-
[…] My many thanks to Menahem Israelievitch for going out of his way to help me to taste all the current French wines from Royal Wines before they were publicly released. The labels on the pictures may not all have a kosher symbol, but that was because they rushed some of the bottles to Mr. Israelievitch before they were properly labeled with supervision symbols attached. As in Israel, the wineries all around Europe were deep in the throes of harvest and it was really very kind of Mr. Israelievitch to make them available in the first place, and secondly, to make time to taste the wines with me. The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] My many thanks to JR for hosting us in their beautiful succah. Also a shout out to Josh Rynderman and his bride to be for being there with us at the tasting, and of course to Benyo for bringing the wines and sharing his knowledge with us as always. The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] Finally, we crashed on the couches and the rest is history. We made our way to shul for Mincha, enjoyed Seudah Shlishit at our host, and then made our way home in the cool Jerusalem air. My many thanks to my host and housemate – I crashed both of their abodes and they were very kind with their time, homes, and food/wine. Again my thanks and my blessings that we should always enjoy each others company throughout our lives – may they be long, prosperous, and blessed. The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] GG did a blind tasting and they were all bad to horrible, again, other than the 2002 SHL. To be fair, I did not take long notes for wines that were undrinkable. I have listed the blind and non-blind tasted wines below in different sections. Many thanks to Gabriel and Yael Geller for hosting me and for sharing his time, wonderful culinary feats, home, and wines with me. The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] Again, the theme of Taieb wines being very solid but hard to find in the USA is a consistent issue to me and a sad one. My many thanks to Yoni Taieb for taking the time to meet with us on the Beaujolais Nouveau day in France! Taieb is a very large producer of Beaujolais Nouveau wines. Our condolences to the loss of a family member, and may we taste wines together again, George and Yoni, with a happy heart. The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] So, here are my last notes before the year-end roundup and best of posts that I will hopefully post soon! These wines are a mix of wines I tasted at the KFWE Miami and other wines I tasted over the past month or so since my return from France. I wanted to keep this simple, so the wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] Many thanks to Arie Cohen and Ben Sitruk for bringing a couple of wines to taste, including the Chateau Peyrat-Fourthon wines and the Chateau Gardut Haut Cluzeau. Thanks to Jonathan Assayag for bringing a wine I have never tasted to the dinner, the 2005 Chateau Moncets, Lalande de Pomerol. The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] As stated there are a few very nice wines, even if they are more expensive than 23 dollars, like the 2019 Teperberg Rose, Essense, the 2019 Herzog Tasting Room Rose, Pinot Noir, and the two aforementioned wines. There are also a few 90 scored wines, but after that, there are 43 of the 55 wines that have scored lower than a 90, which makes them uninteresting to me, as I state here on my scoring process. […]

[…] Sadly, there was no plane trip, no hotels, no restaurants, nothing. So, no trip to talk about – just the wines and my lovely home! Stay safe all and here are the wines I have had so far. I have also posted many scores of 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 wines which are still for sale here in the USA. My many thanks to Royal Wine for their help in procuring some of these wines. The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] Sadly, the takeaway here is that this wine category is not very interesting. Still, there are a couple of options and six WINNERS, overall, spread across countries, so I guess we should be thankful for that, at least. The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]
-
[…] In the end, I do not like to drink wine that does not make me happy, and Le Méthode Champenoise is the best on the list. There are a couple more methods for making sparkling wine, like the Transfer method and others, enjoy reading Wikipedia! The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] I will keep this short, so my many thanks to Joseph Herzog, David Whittemore, Joe Hurliman, and Alicia Wilbur for answering my many emails and calls. Be well to you all, California is getting even crazier – stay safe guys! The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] The notes speak for themselves. This year I liked all the options for sale, in comparison to previous vintages. However, I did not get to taste one of the Chardonnay that was for sale (2019 Four Gates Chardonnay). The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

[…] The Bordeaux wines came from both Taieb and Domaine Roses Camille, and I think they all showed very well with a WINNER and some very solid options as well! Much to all of this should be soon available with Andrew Breskin and Liquid Kosher, so keep a lookout for these wines from him. They will, of course, also be available in France from Taieb’s website, and Domaine Roses Camille’s European distribution, which I do not know much about. Though, I am sure the usual websites and stores in Paris and Belgium will have the wines.NOTE: I need to taste the 2016 Clos Lavaud, Lalande de Pomerol again before I can post my final score on it.

[…] There was no wine below 90 and there was my first ever 95+ score since I turned to score with numbers. To say it clearly, the lunch was epic, the wines were epic, and to have the ability to hang out like the times of old, with friends and great wine was a day to remember! My sincerest thanks to Ralph and his partner at M & M Importers for sharing their wonderful wines with us all! The wine notes follow below – the explanation of my “scores” can be found here: […]

I am sorry what exactly are you looking for? I score wines weekly and you can find the wine you are looking for on the site or by searching with Google and using the wine you want along with kosher winemusngs
