Israeli Wine in The Houston Cellar Classic
by Richard ~ October 17th, 2009. Filed under: Questions.So excited to tell you that 5 (!!) of the wines I import from Israel are being poured at The Houston Cellar Classic – Houston’s week-long food & wine festival hosted by The Tasting Room from October 18 – 25.
Here are the wines they will be pouring:

You know I love Houston.
And now if you live there you can find serious Israeli juice in The Tasting Room during the Classic and afterwards!
Stay tuned for more Israeli wine placements in Houston, as well!

The Houston Cellar Classic was a huge success. Friday night, 150 people paid $160 per person to taste some of the world’s finest wines. Richard had five wines there. This was a serious reserve tasting, with wines on the table right next to the Israeli wines, like: Silver Oak, Far Niente, Gaja, Caymus Special Select, BV George LaTour…you get the idea. The Israeli wines were VERY well received. Saturday, the Grand Tasting event, featuring close to 200 wines, and a special table just for Israel, we poured every single drop, to over 790 people. This was very likely the largest single day’s wine sales at any single retail location…ever. I was overwhelmed with how much everyone loved these wines, but was more moved by how many Arabs came to the Israeli table to drink wine with us, and buy Israeli wine. As Richard has said…wine brings people together. I was very proud to serve at Israel’s table both days.
