After tasting more than 300 wines from the top 100 wineries in Israel, we assembled a list of The Best 70 Wines of Israel. All the wines were tasted double blind, to ensure impartial and completely objective notes and scores. Some of the wines are kosher, and some aren’t. Most of the wines are available outside Israel. The guide is divided to nine categories, each presents the wines won the highest scores in their category. Information about the wineries is available at the end of the guide, with a few descriptive words on each winery penned by us. We would like to thank everyone who helped us bring this mission to completion; the wineries, the messengers, the truck drivers, friends who supported us, those who followed on the social networks, the lucky few who tasted with us, the designer Ron Yadlin, the Hebrew editor Efrat Jeropy and the English editor Assaf Dudai. Hope you’ll enjoy it, at least as much as we did. Gal Zohar & Yair Gat 4 The New Israeli Wine Guide ByIntroduction Adam Montefiore The New Israeli Wine Guide is a new initiative to rate Israeli wines. Tastings were conducted blind in the strictest and most professional conditions possible and the results are recorded with no embellishment or political tinkering. The information given on each wine is refreshingly clear and not wrapped up in flowery, hard to understand tasting notes. The scores given to each wine are modest and they only have a supporting role. Most attractive is the pithy, informative, two or three word descriptive headline which precedes each tasting note. The guide has been written by two people who shine because of their quiet, thorough approach, modesty and professionalism. They do not come from the ‘look at me’ type of wine critics who wish to make a noise, nor the ‘cut and paste merchants,’ who have nothing new to say. They are both well qualified and respected. The two partners in this project are Yair Gath and Gal Zohar. Yair Gath is the wine critic of Israel Hayom, which has arguably the most regular wine column amongst the daily newspapers in Hebrew. He has a following of wine lovers who have enjoyed reading him over the years. Gal Zohar is an international sommelier, wine educator and wine consultant. He was recently a judge in the International Wine Challenge, the world’s largest wine tasting competition. He is in great demand as a wine consultant in both London and Israel. Both have the ability to speak at eye level with wine drinkers whether they are simply wine lovers, wine professionals or connoisseurs and they are not loud and self-opinionated, like many of the today’s self-proclaimed wine experts. Neither will be the center of attention at wine events, preferring to taste and meet quietly without fanfare, but their views and opinions are of great interest to wine drinkers at every level. Daniel Rogov, z”l, used to publish his annual guide on Israeli wines. His books reached far and wide in the effort to advance ‘Brand Israel’. Since his death, there has been a void. Thankfully the New Israeli Wine Guide has come at exactly the right time. It is an interesting turn-around exercise for someone in the wine trade to judge the wine critics. Maybe each should receive a score?! Wine critics have to have credibility and tastings have to be conducted professionally. Respect is certainly earned not bought. The true success of this initiative will be in its successful continuation, over a number of years. However the first launch of their collective tasting notes is a valuable contribution to Israeli wine and I heartily recommend it. Adam Montefiore works for Carmel Winery and regularly writes about wine in international & Israeli publications. 5 The New Israeli Wine Guide Bordeaux Blends Noble 2008 FLAM Limited Edition 2008 Carmel Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Verdot Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec Region: Upper Galilee Region: Upper Galilee Aged 24 months in oak Aged 15 months in oak Alcohol: 14% Alcohol: 13.5% Kosher A Balancing Act Concentration of ripe black fruit dominates Killing Me Softly the nose together with spiciness, earthiness The nose is complex, dominated by fresh and a soft minty note.

    The Economic Occupation of the Syrian Golan - a Summary Introduction

    From Settlement to Shelf: The Economic Occupation of the Syrian Golan - A Summary Introduction The conflict and unrest in the Middle East region has long been a focal point of international media coverage, to the extent that a diverse array of people possess at least a rudimentary awareness of the situation currently unfolding in the occupied Palestinian Territories. Regrettably, many of the substantive issues pertaining to Israel’s occupation of the Syrian Golan, whilst equally important, have been largely neglected on the international stage, despite their considerable significance in the search for a lasting peace in the region. The occupation has had substantial repercussions for the economy and landscape of the Syrian Golan. Accordingly, this report examines the economic occupation of the Syrian Golan, focusing on the illegality of Israeli settlements, their resultant industries and the international community’s continued acquiescence regarding Israel’s gross violations of international law in the region. The Occupied Syrian Golan – A Brief Geographical Overview The Occupied Syrian Golan is a small mountainous region in the south-western corner of Syria which has been under Israeli occupation since June 1967. Comprising of mountainous peaks and plateaus, it has long been viewed as a strategic military territory, with the imposing peak of Mt. Hermon, at 2,224 metres, providing a dominant perspective of southern Syria, southern Lebanon and much of northern Israel. Despite its relatively small size, the region has an overall landmass of 1,860 sq. km and its unique terrain is unrivalled within the state of Israel.1 As such, it is coveted not only for its elevated position but also for the healthy water sources that surround Mt.

    WINE CATALOGUE GOLAN HEIGHTS WINERY Soil. Topography. Climate. Three distinct grape-growing conditions for producing quality wines on an international level. In Israel, these optimal conditions exist in the Golan Heights. As in other premier wine regions worldwide, everything in this magical strip of land begins with the right conditions, a combination of volcanic basaltic soil, suit- able topography and high altitude resulting in cool climate found in the Golan. This is what gives the Golan Heights its second name: “Wine Country.” Over the years, the distinctive wines of the Golan Heights Winery have become world-renowned, winning dozens of awards at prestigious international competitions. Indeed, the Winery has placed Israel on the world wine map. Since its founding in 1983, the Golan Heights Winery has created four leading brands – Yarden, Gamla, Hermon and Golan. Today, it is considered Israel’s leading winery when it comes to wine quality, technological innovation, and new variety development. The Winery has played a significant role in nurturing the country’s current wine culture, and has altered the way Israeli wines are perceived worldwide.
