מאת: אסף פז ימים קרים, יקרים וגשומים באים סוף סוף וזה הרגע להכיר בחשיבות הקור בגידול גפן יין לענבי איכות הקור בחורף, ובעיקר לילות הקרה, בהן הטמפרטורות יורדות מתחת לאפס עלולות להזיק למגוון רחב של ירקות ועצי פרי. הגפן, שנכנסת לתרדמה בעונה זו, לא רק שאינה נפגעת מהתופעה אלא מרוויחה ואף חייבת את לילות הקור: שמירה […]
מאת: רייצ'ל מונטיפיורי יין ורוד, עם גוון עדין ונוכחותו האלגנטית, הוא ההתגלמות של שמחת החיים. יין שמרמז על ערבי קיץ ארוכים, מפגשים חברתיים באוויר הפתוח וצחוק משותף. אבל מהו בעצם יין ורוד? וכיצד הוא שונה מעמיתיו האדומים והלבנים? יין ורוד נוצר בתהליך המשלב טכניקות של ייצור יין אדום ולבן. המפתח טמון בקליפות הענבים. יינות רוזה […]

And like every year, there is the constant debate: Where do we have the holiday? The bride's side or the groom's side. Who makes the salads? The main courses? And what about the dessert? Lest we forget. The moment we finally sit down around the Seder table, there is a sigh of relief and a feeling of satiety; the table […]
By: Rachel Montefiore White wine can be a perfect choice especially in winter: As the seasons change and temperatures drop, many of us instinctively reach for a bold red wine to complement the cozy atmosphere of fall and winter.
