Upcoming event
Israeli Wine: The Land and the People Who Make It, with Guy Haran
The talk
Guy Haran has been taking people around Israel’s wineries since 2006. On 5 November he comes to you, live from Israel.
The land
Where Israel’s grapes grow, and how the land shapes what ends up in the bottle.
The people
The families and winemakers behind the labels, from someone who has been bringing visitors to their wineries for twenty years.
Bottles worth finding
Thanksgiving is three weeks later, and Chanukah follows. We’ve asked Guy for a few Israeli bottles for the table, and how you actually buy them here.

Raise a Glass of Israeli Wine with Guy
Guy has asked everyone to open a bottle while he talks, so we can all toast Israel’s winemakers together. It’s noon here and seven in the evening in Israel, so a small pour is plenty.
Find a Bottle
Guy picked a three-bottle set for the evening at Blue White Wines, an online shop for Israeli wine: Lueria Syrah, Flam Classico and Lahat Roussanne. Or join one of their wine clubs and get $50 off your first shipment (email them after you join and mention AIC). Orders take up to a week, so order this week.
Have It Poured
Open it before noon on Thursday 5 November, so it’s in your glass when Guy comes on.
Toast Together
When Guy raises his glass, raise yours. To the people who make Israeli wine.
