The Kosher Terroir ·

2026/03/31

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir Four cups of wine feels simple until you try to choose the bottles, pace the night, pair the food, and keep everyone happy at the table. Then someone asks the question hiding in plain sight: what about the fifth cup, and why does Elijah get his own glass? From Jerusalem, we sit down with Jay Buchsbaum, Director of Wine Education at Royal Wine Corporation, to make the Passover Seder make sense both as halacha and as a real-world kosher wine plan you ca...

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir Your whisky cabinet is locked for Passover, but that doesn’t mean your glass has to get boring. From Jerusalem, I take you on a guided journey into kosher brandy as the spirit that actually makes sense for the holiday, not as a backup plan, but as wine’s most concentrated expression of place. We start by clearing up the labels that confuse even seasoned drinkers, then build a simple framework you can use in any liquor store aisle. We travel from Cogn...

Tibra Liqueor - Pure Kosher Distillation

The Kosher Terroir ·

2026/03/19

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir A lot of spirits talk about “botanicals,” but then you read the label and realize it’s mostly neutral alcohol plus flavoring. We wanted to taste something built the hard way. From Jerusalem, we sit down with Dr. Ronen Yehuda of Tibra to explore what he calls the pinnacle of clean distillation and why real fermentation and distilling from botanicals creates a different kind of clarity in the glass. We walk through three standout liqueurs designed to b...

From Lab Reject To Climate Hero: Marselan

The Kosher Terroir ·

2026/03/12

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir What if the grape built for our warming world was created in a French lab in 1961, forgotten for decades, then reborn as a Mediterranean powerhouse? We follow Marcellan’s improbable arc—from a small-berry “failure” to a climate-ready red redefining terroir across continents—and taste why winemakers now swear by its color, balance, and velvet tannins. We start with the origin story at INRA in Languedoc, where Cabernet Sauvignon met Grenache on purpose...

1st Time Tasting Olive Oil with Elk

2026/03/05

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir We sat down with our friend Elk and Yossi Polak, CEO of Meshik Achiya, to explore how Shiloh’s ancient limestone hills shape extra virgin olive oil just as clearly as terroir shapes wine. With a tasting flight on the table, we learned the craft from the inside out—why you warm a blue cup in your palm, how stripaggio unlocks aroma, and what that peppery cough really means about polyphenols, freshness, and quality. Yossi walked us through five distinct...

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir From Jerusalem on the cusp of Purim, we share a clear, no-nonsense guide to celebrating responsibly—hydration, food, real rest, and zero driving—then follow the holiday’s deeper current: turning fear into courage and surface into substance. Our tour begins with wines that delight in misdirection to reveal a truer center. Eli Shiran blends Carignan, Petite Sirah, and Petit Verdot from distant Israeli terroirs, a floral nose opening into dark spice—a h...

Practical Guide To Real Wine Tasting- Part Two

The Kosher Terroir ·

2026/02/19

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir We take you on a fast, flavorful tour of terroir—where soil, climate, and human choices turn grapes into recordings of place and time—and show you how to hear the song each wine is singing. Along the way, we decode labels, separate grape character from winemaking technique, and build a practical tasting vocabulary you can use the next time you open a bottle. We start with whites and clear the fog around Chardonnay, contrasting Chablis’ steel and oyst...

Practical Guide To Real Wine Tasting- Part One

2026/02/12

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir Ever wonder why the same wine tastes flat one night and thrilling the next? We slow the pace, strip out the snobbery, and show how small choices—rim thickness, bowl shape, headspace, and temperature—unlock a bottle’s soul. From the first quiet nose to the final echo of the finish, we walk through a clear, repeatable method that turns drinking into true tasting. Then we correct serving myths. Fridge-cold whites go numb; let them wake at 50°F. Modern “...

The Harvest - Controlled Chaos

The Kosher Terroir ·

2026/02/05

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir Four words change everything: “The seeds are brown.” From that moment, we trade weather apps and pruning shears for clipboards, tank maps, and a race against heat, rot, and the calendar. We walk you through the split-second calls that can turn a year of work into greatness or disappointment, and why kosher winemaking adds a layer of choreography few outside the cellar ever see. We start at veraison, when grapes shift from camouflage to sugar magnets,...

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir Welcome back to The Kosher Terroir –Vineyard Creation Step by Step Part 2 Last week we stood on a bare, scrubby hillside. There was nothing here but potential and risk. Now? Look around. We analyzed the Macro-Terroir, hunting for that perfect intersection of altitude and latitude where the nights are cool enough to save the acid.We dug into the Soil, choosing the drainage of gravel or the muscle of clay, understanding that we aren't just planting in d...

Blueprint of a Vineyard - Step by Step Part 1

The Kosher Terroir ·

2026/01/22

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir Start with a blank hillside and imagine building flavor from the ground up. That’s our approach as we step into the vineyard and treat terroir like architecture—every choice about climate, soil, genetics, and geometry locked in for decades, with no cellar fix to save a bad foundation. With the added weight of Orla delaying fruit for years, kosher wine demands that we get the blueprint right before a single root touches the soil. We zoom out to Macro ...

Twelve Decisions That Matter More Than The Grape

The Kosher Terroir ·

2026/01/15

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir What if the most important flavor in your glass isn’t because of the grape variety, but the choices made in the cellar? We pull back the curtain on the winemaker’s toolbox and walk through twelve pivotal moments that can turn identical grapes into wildly different wines—one a velvet cloak, another a sharp suit of armor. From the first clip at harvest to the final stir of lees, we map the forks in the road that define aroma, texture, and age-worthiness...

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir A vineyard can tell the truth faster than a headline. We sit down with David M. Weinberg to uncork a deeper story of Israeli wine—one that runs from Jacob’s blessing and Solomon’s vines to modern terraces in the Judean Hills and the Galilee. David is a veteran columnist and WSET Level 3 wine professional who has walked rows with growers, tasted through the country’s microclimates, and wrestled with narratives like “winewashing.” Together, we explore w...

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir Light a candle and pour a glass—this is the story of a Sephardic family reclaiming Spanish terroir through kosher wine, one amphora at a time. We head to the high hills outside Valencia with Armando Caracena-Molco of Viña Memorias to taste old-vine Bobal and Macabeo that wear history on their sleeves and clay on their skins. Unico, their flagship red, comes from pre-phylloxera vines planted in 1903 and is raised entirely in tinajas—handmade clay vesse...

We sit down with winemaker Ya'acov Oryah of Pinto Winery to explore how short ripening windows, careful skin management, and precise oak work can turn heat and dryness into elegance on the table. We start with whites—Chardonnay that drinks with Sauvignon-like snap, Chenin that grows more aromatic with time, and Ge...

Gideon Marcus - Where Terroir Meets Identity And Courage

2025/12/04

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir A wrong turn on a long road trip led to a tasting room door, a harvest job, and a life reset. Meet Gideon Marcus, a 23-year-old Oleh who traded the Manhattan Shabbat table for punch-downs, press cycles, and vineyard dust—first at Covenant in California, then across Israel from the Judean Hills to the Negev’s high-contrast desert. We dive into the kind of winemaking you only learn by doing: sorting fruit at dawn, pulling samples of fresh Viognier juic...

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir Your glass should tell a story before you take the first sip. Today we pour three: a newly disgorged, boutique kosher champagne from a 10th‑generation house; a rare white Bordeaux from Pessac Léognan that lets Semillon sing; and a Right Bank red from a renegade winemaker who refuses to bow to classifications. This isn’t hype and hashtags—it’s the honest calculus behind flavor, freshness, and why some bottles feel alive. We start with the bubbles. Bru...

We follow the grape from Hermitage’s granite slopes to Israel’s basalt and limestone and then to Australia’s sun‑drenched valleys, mapping how climate and terroir turn one variety into a chorus of styles. Along the way, we dive into cellar choices—whole cluster or destemmed, French or American oak, mevushal or not—and...

Inside Vitkin Winery’s 2025 Unforgettable Harvest

2025/10/30

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir A drought year wasn’t supposed to reward restraint—but 2025 had other plans. At Vitkin Winery, we walk the rows with winemaker Assaf Paz and discover how a parched winter, scrambled ripeness windows, and a nation holding its breath forged wines with unusual clarity and nerve. When irrigation couldn’t fix stressed vines, an old, dry-farmed Carignan did: deeper roots, stronger canopies, and, shockingly, higher yields. The lesson is simple and radical—le...

Sweet, Sparkling, And Seriously Kosher

2025/10/21

Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir Sweet can be serious, as we look at Moscato’s long road from ancient Muscat vines to Piedmont’s low-ABV sparkle, and the cobalt-blue bottle that took kosher wine mainstream. Along the way, we explain why this fragrant style became a first-love wine for so many people who once felt intimidated by tannins, tasting notes, and cellar talk—and how it still manages to honor religious tradition all while elevating the mood of the moment. Muscat grapes harve...
