It may seem that I am posting a great deal about the wines imported to Israel by Giaconda but, although far from the largest importer of wines in Israel, the two partners in the company are, by Jove, bringing in some of the very best wines to appear in the country and many at prices that compete comfortably with the best prices you will find in Europe and the U.S.A.
The company will be hosting a tasting of the Chablis wines of Jean Paul & Benoit Droin, the tasting to be held 19 January 2009 at their "headquarters" in Tel Aviv. What can I say….there are tastings that I do not write about or recommend, there are those that I recommend and there are those that I recommend with enthusiasm. This recommendation is with enthusiasm.
My tasting notes for the wines in question can be found at

The fee for attending (9 wines will be tasted) is NIS 340. An excellent opportunity just for the tasting or to decide which of the wines is most to your taste before purchasing. To serve a place, phone 03 6022746.
