As I have written previously, it’s really nice when friends from abroad join us either for RCC’s or to get together for tastings or winery visits or really whatever. One of the people I enjoy spending time with is Yossie Horwitz. Besides writing his weekly newsletter and FB page, Yossie is of course perhaps most famous for being the man responsible for creating and bringing the RCC concept to the kosher wine world.  Yossie  said he was going to be in for a short visit and suggested putting together a dinner, but with Rosh Chodesh 3 weeks away RCC was out of the question. So we decided to put together an RCC style dinner with a little bit of a winery visit and some blind bottles thrown in for good measure – really the best of all worlds. My dear friend Simon Jacob hosted and our RCC chef Uri Zaltzman did the cooking (we had someone else planned as Uri had done an RCC less than a week ago, but that didn’t end up working out – and Uri really saved the day by jumping in at the last second  under WAY less than optimum conditions). There was some beautiful food (pics of which you can see below) – including a really inventive (and deceptively simply titled) Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar. My thanks to Uri, Simon ,and of course Yossie who was the impetus for this to happen.  And now on to the wines:
