My posts have been both infrequent and lacking in substance of late. The holidays and New Year have been a FUN and BUSY time. But I will soon be getting back down to business and look forward to sharing more about wine & my wine life with you.
In the meantime, I had a nice Israeli wine with my rare steak while watching playoff football this afternoon. It just doesn’t get any better than that. Well, the Vikings could have won, that would have been better. But as long as the NY FOOTBALL GIANTS kick some ass the next few weeks (and I get to drink more Israeli wine with rare steaks) I’ll be one happy GUY.
Happy 2009 Wine Tasting!

Being married to an Israeli, I’m curious–what was the Israeli wine that went so well with the steak?
I believe it was one of my favorites, the Galil 2004 Yiron. It is a Bordeaux (style) blend of about 72% Cab, 25% Merlot & 3% Syrah. A great wine that is elegant and quite complex.
Football is a bit tiring game but it has given me great excitement and it is a good physical exercise too.”’
