[Wine Musings] International Food & Wine Festival at Herzog Wine Cellars 2010 Summary: In the final room, there were four tables, filled with wines from Israel.  One table housed wines from Zion Winery, which I must admit; I did not have a chance to partake from.  Given the immense wine selection, and immense interests I had, and finally, given that no matter how much I spit, I still take some wine in, I was limited!  Another table housed Binyamina, Barkan, and Segal wines.  It was overseen by the gregarious and fun loving Assaf Paz, one of the wine makers of Binyamina Winery.  He has come to the California tasting, since its inauguration, and always helps to liven up the festivities.  This time, he brought along a bottle of the 2007 Binyamina Ya’alom/Diamond blend.  Awesome, and in limited supply, many thanks Assaf for your passion, love of Israel, wine making skills, the dram of Diamond, and for saving the Carignan vines!  The next table was manned by the ever promoting Gary J, who was pouring Carmel, Yatir, and Capçanes wines.  These were some of the best wines of the evening, and Gary did a wonderful job of talking to the Carmel and Yatir wines, while Jurgen Wagner, the master blender of Capçanes, talked to the Spanish wines.  The story and background to Capçanes, is worthy of an entire blog posting on its own, yes whetting your appetite!  The final table housed a multitude of other Israeli wines, including Gamla, and others.
