About Kosher Wine Musings
My name is David Raccah and this space is a blog about our musings and tasting notes on the world of kosher wine and food. We have been drinking wine for some 18 years now and have been privileged to taste some of the best kosher wines from around the world. We thought it was time to start sharing our food and wine experiences with others. We hope that you will find some of these notes and musings useful and maybe even entertaining. Also you can follow up on twitter @kosherwinemuse and you can signup for updates to be sent to you by clicking the link to the right on the homepage “Follow Blog Via Email”.
David, I can’t find your email address and I wanted to ask you a question, could you drop me a line? –Alice
Excellent Blog Would love to receive your comments as I only drink Kosher wine since I became Balat Shuva and I was and am a bit of a conoisseur. Thanks.
Sure! What is the question you have and I will try my best to help.
aw nice to catch your blog and put a blog to the face after meeting you at Sommelier 2011 in Tel Aviv
you missed a more relevant event for you Jerusalem just held a Kosher Wine Festival with about 30 only kosher wineries….
don’t feel bad they didn’t promote it much at all in English but it was a nice two day event in a nice venue and I think they’ll repeat it next year so look for it next year about this time
Indeed I heard about the kosher wine event and posted about it on the forum, but did not blog about it.
I came in for Sommelier, as it was truly unique. Great seeing then.

have you been in touch with Aron Ritter and his Kosher Wine Society in NYC?
I’m the Israeli chair
you two could make a good team on that side of the pond

Yes – it is in my blog posting:

I gave it a fine score – though there are some that are now wondering if it is currently in a dead spot. Meaning that the wine, like all wine are living things, can ebb and flow, and currently this wine may be ebbing. It does not mean that it is dead, but may well pop up again soon. However, for now some think it is asleep.

Dear David,
We enjoy reading your Kosher wine blog. We have been making wine since 2004. Our wine is completely natural,made from grapes grown in Shiloh, un-oaked with no added ingredients, sulfites, yeasts etc. Last year we produced 800 bottles and this year we hope to have 2,400 bottles. The wine is certified Kosher Mehadrin by the Rabbanut of the Regional Council of Mate Binyamin. We are located 50 meters from the archeological site of Ancient Shiloh. We would like to invite you to come visit us next time you are in Israel.
Joe and Daphne Bazer
