Hey,
I drink too much wine and dont agree with the retail prices, im out of cases so likely i'll fall back to my saftey net of Ella alley cab franc (easy to get for 22$ here) and maybe ramon cardova di rioja which I get for about 15-16

Florida has got to catch up retail wise while allied sells here via opici, I have yet to see Gvaot on the shelf

For rosh hashana I want to go with Domaine De Ventura

GG,
For a winery rat like me fugataboutit.... i'm contemplating a trip to Israel for 635$ RT from miami just to schlep wine back, and thats with 2 flight already in winter

Ella here in miami is a good deal because victor imports here, also they have chai for 12$ which tastes OK

Tishbi, French Riesling 2011: An easy-drinking blend of French Colombard and Emerald Riesling, off-dry with simple notes of fresh ananas and honeydew. Not bad with salads and a salmon quiche.

In case anyone was reading the notes as I do, and is not fluent in French or botany - ananas is Pineapple

Friday night = Katlav 2006 Merlot
Saturday = Dalton 2005 Zinfandel

Bill how were these guys holding up - both seem a bit past their time - no?

Sorry about that! 'ananas' sounds tropical on its own in french already so I forgot to translate it. And it's the same word in Hebrew as well...
