Send a Text Message to The Kosher TerroirJoin me, along with my special guest host and son, Ovadiah Jacob, as we embark on an unforgettable journey through the world of kosher wines. We kick things off by uncorking a rare 2009 Semillon from Yaakov Oriah that defies time with its youthful vibrancy. We discuss some additional stellar whites by Ya'acov Oryah, like the Queen of Hearts and SoulMate, that enhanced our later Shabbat gathering. The Carmel Kayoumi Vineyard Riesling 2017 made our festive tasting occasion even more memorable, renowned for its refreshingly Germanic authenticity.Our exploration didn't stop at familiar favorites. We delved into the dynamic landscape of Israeli wines, spotlighting innovators like Shivi Drori, who’s working to revive ancient varietals with intriguing wines like the Bittuni, reminiscent of a fresh Pinot Noir. Journey with us as we share thoughts on the artistry of Kobi Arbiv's Mia Luce label, especially the captivating 2018 whole cluster Marselan. We also unlock a new appreciation for Domaine Roses Camille's Pomerol from 2011, a bottle that once felt distant but now offers delightful surprises.The episode takes a heartfelt turn as we toast the vibrant Israeli wine scene, recounting visits to innovative boutique wineries. From Agour Wines and winemaker Eyal's magical blends to the rugged beauty of Hasela Winery's 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, each sip tells a story.
