Golan Heights - the winery at the heart of Israel's wine revolution
It sparked a revolution in Israel's winemaking industry. Now the Golan Heights Winery is celebrating three decades of award-winning wine.
The founding of the Golan Winery in 1983 was a major factor in the transformation of Israel's wine industry from sweet, insipid wines to award winning.
Click on our video to find out how the winemakers took successful advantage of the Golan Heights' volcanic soil, high altitude and perfect nighttime temperatures -- in addition to Israeli high-tech monitoring systems -- to put Israel on the world's fine-wine map.

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Arie Hochberg, Importer, Israeli Wine Direct:
Basically we are trying to educate the American public about the high quality of Israeli wines. We are trying to put Israel on the map, to be known as a wine producer. We are trying to make Israel known as Bordeaux or Burgundy of the world.
12. Ella Valley stand
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Arie Hochberg, Importer, Israeli Wine Direct:
The American public thinks about Israeli wines as Kosher, sweet, and mainly for Kiddush (Friday night blessing). There are some breakthroughs. We currently have wines with the best restaurants in New York City, Le Bernardin, Daniels and many Middle Eastern restaurants.

I think I am the only Kosher and Israeli winery in the world that also managed to enter a restaurant with three Michelin stars from Joel Robuchon in Tokyo. For me this is the Oscar, and to get from (Robert) Parker 94 is another level above the Oscar.
18. Pan on bottles from Alexander wineries
19. SOUNDBITE (English) W. Blake Gray, wine critic writing for the Gray Report:
It's very interesting what's going on here. The industry was all based about volume and production until maybe 20 years ago and in the last ten years, 15 years, there's been a flowering of boutique wineries that are trying to make great wine. I think before people were just trying to make wine, and it's very exciting what they are doing here, it's one of the more exciting regions in the world for that because it's interesting that it is a place that was making wine 6000 years ago, and yet there was no wine history at all when people restarted the industry, so people don't know what the best wines are going to be from here yet and that makes it a very interesting place to be.

24. SOUNDBITE (English) Ofer Sachs, Director General of the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute:
We are very optimistic, there is a very positive trend. The Israeli exporters, the wine exporters are going way beyond the Jewish populations and go for the general markets as well. This is the trend that of course evaluates and appreciates a good quality wine.

LEADIN:
Israel's wine producers are trying to persuade the world that there's more to their product than the traditional sweet variety usually used for blessings.
They say they are ready to take on the likes of France to become the biggest wine producers in the world.
STORYLINE:
Professionals from the Israeli wine industry are here to show off their wines at Sommelier 2016 in Tel Aviv.
According to the Israeli export industry, Israel has around 300 wineries and turns around a billion shekel a year.
Sommelier 2016 runs 26 - 27th January 2016.

This place was handed to the British and they evacuated all its German citizenship and turned this historical orphanage to a military base.

But nobody knew, not the German, not the British and not the Israelis, what they are sitting on. When we, the archaeologists, arrived here we discovered here ancient remains dating to the late Roman period the beginning of the byzantine period. I am talking about the third and fourth century CE (Common Era).

We find here ritual baths. Numerous ceramics, pottery and glass vessels. We have also an evidence that the Roman tenth legion was here. You know this is a very well known legionnaire, Roman soldiers. They were when the first revolt of sixty six seventy AD (Anno Domini or Common Era). And the destruction of Jerusalem was here.

Inside this pit, we found thousands of broken vessels, clay vessels and also glass vessels.

STORY: Israeli archaeologists said on Wednesday (March 2) they had discovered a winery and bathhouse, key to ancient Jerusalem.
Archaeologists say they have found the remnants of a large wine press that includes a pressing surface paved with a white mosaic surrounded by eight cells for storing the grapes and a pit in the centre.
This place was handed to the British and they evacuated all its German citizenship and turned this historical orphanage to a military base. Later on, the IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) also inside the orphanage house erected a military base. It was here, until few years ago. But nobody knew, not the German, not the British and not the Israelis, what they are sitting on. When we, the archaeologists, arrived here we discovered here ancient remains dating to the late Roman period the beginning of the byzantine period. I am talking about the third and fourth century CE (Common Era), said Amit Re' Em, Jerusalem district archaeologist working at site.
Also we find remains from the second temple period. We find a very elaborated winepress for making wine. We find (found) here bathhouse, very unique and large. Bathhouse dating to the Roman period. We find (found) here ritual bath. Numerous ceramics, pottery and glass vessels. We have also an evidence that the Roman tenth legion was here.

According to a written statement, the Israel Antiquities Authority said they believe the Schneller site, in the form of a manor house, constituted an auxiliary settlement to the main site that was previously unearthed.
The Emerging History of Wine In Israel
HOLY LAND UNCOVERED | From ancient times until today, wine has always been an important part of society. In northern Israel, an exciting archaeological discovery was made, showing how wine could have been cultivated thousands of years ago. Our Shelby Weiner has the story.

Management of the vineyards takes place with great attention to detail. All activity is strictly controlled by the winemaker, who monitors the vineyards through the seasons. Decisions of how to prune, the watering regime and when to harvest are decided by the winemaker in discussions with agronomists and vineyard managers..

There are few cities in the world that can compare to Jerusalem in terms of ancient history and religious significance. It’s one of the most fascinating cities in the world, and it’s a city that I’ve wanted to visit my entire life. Finally, along with my friend David ( and Rafram, we explored Jerusalem to discover the food treasures the city has to offer - and let me tell you, you’ll find some incredibly delicious food in Jerusalem!
We started off the Jerusalem food tour by first walking around East Jerusalem and starting with the best plate of hummus I’ve ever had. We then toured around Old Jerusalem, and enjoyed some incredible Palestinian food kebabs cooked by an incredible man who cooked with serious love and passion. Another highlight in Jerusalem was the mutabak, a thin pastry stuffed with cheese and baked.
After eating our way through Old Jerusalem, we then headed into West Jerusalem and went to lunch at an Israeli Jewish restaurant serving a mix of amazing dishes. The food was home-cooked in style, and absolutely sensation. A few more snacks and sightseeing throughout the afternoon, and that brought us all the way to dinner where David had made reservations to eat at one of the hottest restaurants in Jerusalem, Machneyuda Restaurant. It was quite an experience, and an amazing meal and lively atmosphere to wrap up this ultimate Jerusalem food tour.
