5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner from Rogov, November 5, 2007

This review is from: Rogov's Guide to Israeli Wines (Hardcover)

Rogov's 2008 Guide to Israeli Wines is the latest winner in Rogov's, the top Israeli wine critic and Ha'aretz's wine writer, series of reviews. With several thousand new reviews and 12 new wineries, as well as an excellent series of articles about the history of Israeli wine and the wine revolution that has been taking place over the past 20 years, this is a must for any wine lover. It's time Israeli wines were discovered by all - Jew and non-Jew - and this book is a great start to bringing the wonders of Israeli wine to those outside of the country (and yet is also highly appreciated by those, like me, who live in Israel).

Beyond this important book, for more information on Israeli wine - which isn't all kosher despite the amazon tagging - see HaKerem: The Israeli Wine [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the bible for Israeli wines, February 29, 2008

This review is from: Rogov's Guide to Israeli Wines (Hardcover)

Rogov's book is the bible for Israeli wines. Israeli wines were recently highlighted by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. He rated many wines at 90+. Rogov's book gives detailed tasting notes and vintage information, albeit his ratings are slightly inflated. But the taste of many of these wines are not. The big problems is that it is hard to find many of these wines in the US. But if you try hard, you can find most, except from the smallest boutique wineries.
