Dec 18 israel kosher wine tasting in miami

Did any of you attend? im curious, I of course should be whipped for not posting it here as well :( about 6 or so of the Israel forum attended, it was an interesting event really and a great chance for the south florida jewish crowd to taste real wine and for a broader crowd to taste Israel wines

Yes, Elk, you should be flagellated but good! Or is it,"You should be well flagellated"? No, wait a second, it seems like something you would enjoy too much. You should have your ass kicked for not bringing it to the attention of prospective attendees until after the event was over. Although from what I have heard, it really wasn't worth going unless one was already in the area, as opposed to the Los Angeles event, the food of which was itself worth the price of admission. Having only attended the Los Angeles even, for which I believe I am now persona non grata due to my "competitor status, I think the wines in many cases presented as being the equals of nonkosher wines close to their price ranges. It is no longer the case that one must chose a bad kosher wine or none at all. But of course, to warrant review by disinterested parties to convert them to interested parties would require distinction in the wine other than it's being kosher, and other than its being merely high quality, even at the same price. Each variety and price range has its "not to be missed" wines and its "same old thing" wines.

With all due respect, most of the forumites that attended the miami event, also attend the ny or la event or both.

As a wine tasting, there was a lot of great israel wines, something that is significant kosher or not
