Israel: Wine

An Old Testament to Wine According to the book of Genesis, the first thing Noah did after disembarking from the Ark was to plant a vineyard. Presumably, he planted two! Shalom, fellow Thirsty Travelers, and welcome to Israel - where winemaking is as old as the bible itself. Today, Israeli wines are finally coming into their own, especially the award-winning wineries of the Golan Heights region of Galilee. And it goes without saying that the Thirsty Traveler is on a wine-tasting mission of biblical proportions!
