Terra de Seta Winery

Terra de Seta, a family owned winery in the heart of Chianti Classico, shows how traditional Tuscan winemaking can be woven together with the requirements of kashrut. My August column in the Wine and Whiskey Globe profiles the estate.

The entry level Chianti Classico is a great value, but the Riserva and the Assai are where I see the real bargains: among the best priced kosher wines for the quality they deliver, comparable to top Bordeaux or Napa bottles that cost far more.

The Kosher DRC: Domaine Roses Camille

Say DRC to a wine lover and they will think of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in Burgundy, whose top wines sell for more than $20,000 a bottle. In the kosher world DRC means something else, and my August column in the Wine and Whiskey Globe explains what.

Domaine Roses Camille in Pomerol makes wines that need substantial time to age, but the 2017 Roses Camille and the soon to be released 2018 Roses Louise blew me away with their intensity, velvety texture, layers of flavor and long finish. I tell the estate's story and explain why its wines command such attention in the kosher market.

The Decanter World Wine Awards is the largest wine competition in the world, so fans of Israeli wine take note when an Israeli bottle wins big there. My August column in the Wine and Whiskey Globe asks whether Ramat Negev's Exodus deserves the title of Israel's best wine.

I tasted it on a trip to Israel with a group of local wine experts I organized, alongside lovely wines from Agur, Covenant and Herzog, and I share what we found.
