The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazy for me. My niece Zahava got married, and the entire family flew to the US for the wedding and sheva brachot week. (Shout out to my dear friends Yael & Donny, who hosted our entire family of seven while we were visiting for this trip – you guys are the best!) From there I flew to France for my annual trip with David Raccah to survey this year’s wines (posts on that to follow). Then back to Israel where I landed just a few days before Rosh Chodesh. I knew I had my friends Greg and Daphna coming from the US, who were interested in their first Israeli RCC, but with so little time, I doubted I could get it together Luckily, Chef Amrom Pitterman was available. And so in just three days we put this RCC together. As there was so little time, rather than holding it in Jerusalem, for the first time I hosted it myself at home in Beit Shemesh, and quite honestly, it turned out great. The food was all on point, and I think people had a really nice time. And, because I was already home, I was able to really enjoy the wines fully. In term of dishes, highlights for me included the souse vide salmon and the lamb tacos. Really great stuff. But, enough about all of that – you guys are interested in the wines and so here they are.
