			<description><![CDATA[Over the past decade, the kosher wine scene in the US has moved away from it’s reputation of sweet sacramental red, into a more refined and attractive domain. Israeli wines have led this chance and last month, Jwines founder and CEO, Dovid Pereleman, took to Israel for a ten day tour where he visited more than 20 wineries, in search of wines he wants to share with you.
The Israeli Wine Tour began as every tour should, with a tasting and authentic shakshuka at the Gush Etzion winery's fantastic restaurant.  Owner and Winemaker Shraga Rosenberg shared a private tasting of his...]]></description>

The weather is warming as spring has officially arrived, but that is not the only thing that is changing. Seasonal changes have significant implications for the world of wine, in more ways than one. For starters, anyone who knows anything about wine knows that grapes are temperamental. They'll also know the subject of the soil, climate, and topography of their regions. People’s tastes in kosher wines also change with the seasons.

Spring dishes are generally lighter, sweeter and more verdant than winter foods. It should come as no surprise that white wine consumptions soars in spring and summer and then dips...]]></description>

Sometimes other grapes or juices are used, but the overall goal is to aid in the expression of the titular grape’s flavor.

Wine is a beverage that is steeped in history, having originated in the Middle East around 6,000 BC. Even as times changed, many vineyards prided themselves on their traditional approach to winemaking, continuing to use small oak barrels or even manually crushing grapes. Although this continues to be the case, most vineyards are moving to shore up their traditional approaches with scientific ones. What does this mean for the future of wine?
