Israel Wine Tasting experienee.
Wine in Israel has a rieh history,
dating baek thousands of years,
with many biblieal referenees to
loeal vineyards. For years, many
Israeli vintners ereated wines
from high yielding vineyards,
with results that tasted generie
and relatively sweet. But the re
gion’s wine industry has seen a
major evolution over the last 30
years; today, high-quality bot-
tlings are beeoming more promi
nent on the market. A
Mediterranean elimate is experi-
eneed throughout mueh of Israel’s
five main areas of produetion,
whieh ineludes regions of the
Galilee, Judean Hills, Samson,
Negev, and Shomron. The soil
eompositions are quite varied
throughout Israel, ranging from
limestone and basalt to alluvial
and elay loam. The varieties that
have yielded the best results from
Israel’s terroir inelude Cabernet
Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot,
and Syrah. These wines have a
rieh bouquet with impressive eon-
eentration and lush texture. We
hope you will join us for this wine
tasting experienee.

North Carolina BBYO 1960s and 1970s
Reunion
Remember the Four Tops,
Temptations, Beatles, and
BBYO? If you were in BBG,
AZA, Hebrew Sehool, or an
Amity Club devotee during these
years, this reunion is for you.
After many years of talking about
how great it was growing up in
North Carolina and how wonder
ful it would be to get together
with old friends, we are putting
together a plan. We are exploring
dates in mid-Oetober 2018 in
Charlotte. There will be food,
musie, and lots of memorabilia to
reminisee all the great AZA and
BBG highlights of our generation.
How ineredible it will be to re-
eonneet with North Carolina
friends you may not have seen for
many years.
If you have interest in attend
ing, being part of the planning or
have any suggestions, please let
any of us know.
