A Night With The Elegant and Affordable Recanati Wines
The Recanati Winery was founded in 2000, near Hadera, by a group of wine lovers led by Lenny Recanati, from the prominent Israeli Banking family. Their goal was to create a winery that produces quality Israeli wines at reasonable consumer prices. The winery receives most of its grapes from the Manara and Kerem Ben-Zimra regions in the Upper Galil, a high region with an ideal climate for the cultivation of quality wine grapes. Additional grapes come from the Ella Valley, in the Jerusalem Hills, and the Lower Galil.
Gil Shatsberg, Recanati's chief winemaker, will grace us again with his presence and present a wide selection of his creations.
Sit back and relax and join other wine lovers at the Israeli Wine of the Month Club’s interactive wine tasting experience.
What is interactive wine tasting?
* Eight wonderful Israeli wine will be explored. Artisan cheeses and breads, crackers and fruit are also served
* A panel of our Wine Critics will describe each wine and guide you in exercising your palate tasting them
* You will be encouraged to voice your opinion about each wine and write elaborate notes -- be Robert Parker, Tom Stevenson or Hugh Johnson for a night...
* We will collect everyone’s tasting notes and distribute them via a newsletter. The newsletter will also include professional tasting notes as well as detailed descriptions of the wineries, and more...

Avi AshmanEvent HostOrganizerA wine from a Boutique winery is a true reflection of its winemaker. Gil Shatsberg is a great person and his wines are equally wonderful. In addition to sharing with us his thoughts when crafting each wine, he gave us an amazing insights to winemaking and the wine industry in general. What a wonderful evening ! The guests enjoyed the wines and thoughts that they were elegant and well made -- each wine was really good. The accompanied cheeses and fruits were good as well and Lorraine arranged them in such a delicious display. A new club member, David, who worked in Israeli and California wineries became an honorary Panel member and joined Raffi, our regular Panel member, in sharing their tasting notes with the guests. All in all a great tasting.
