We’re knee-deep now in all the details of readying our next shipment of several hundred cases of wine from Israel…label approvals and bottle-stickering, agreeing on payment terms and pricing with wineries, scheduling US visits from winemakers to support selling, negotiating pick-ups and all the freight forwarder details that need confirming.

The wines will ship in a refrigerated container (this is VERY important!!! and something I am committed to) out of the port of Haifa in Israel, exit the Mediterranean, cross the Atlantic Ocean, come through the Panama Canal and up along the California coast to settle in Oakland. There the wines will clear US Customs and be trucked to our warehouse in Benecia, south of Napa. It’s a 30-40 day trek from start to finish.

Here are the wines we expect to be on this next shipment, most of them new vintages of great wines we have had success with here in the US already:
