Negev desert vineyards
Taste the warm sunlight and tempering breezes of Israel, where the Mediterranean begins.
Instructor: Mariel Wega, Skurnik Wine & Spirits
Israel has a winemaking tradition that dates back millennia, but it’s only in the last few decades that international wine drinkers have had access to their independent, terroir-driven producers. A new wave of quality-driven Israeli wines has emerged at the hands of winemakers who push boundaries, experiment with indigenous grape varieties, and employ the latest technologies to create wines that compete on the world stage. Roughly the size of NJ, Israel is a diverse and dynamic winemaking region with a range of microclimates from desert to high-altitude mountains to the coast. There’s never been a more exciting time to drink Israeli wine.
This class will be taught by Tria team alum, Mariel Wega. After Tria, Mariel journeyed one block south to become wine director at a.kitchen+bar, leading it to be named one of America’s 100 Best Wine Restaurants by Wine Enthusiast magazine, and landing her a spot on the Best New Sommeliers of 2016 by Wine & Spirits magazine. Mariel is now the PA sales lead for Skurnik Wines & Spirits. Way to go, Mariel!
