Bringing families together, enhancing business relations or elevating
a fine dinner,quality wine holds experience. For as long as I can remember,
Israeli wine has transformed the daily experience of sharing dinner with my family. Unveiling what I believe to be Israel’s best kept secret, I am dedicated to showcasing the difference the quality wine from Israel can make to your
culinary experience.
My professional entry into the world of wines has been a natural progression.
Raised in a family with a long tradition of entrepreneurship, I devoted fifteen years with my family’s diamond business, eventually now serve as the director of our family's holdings, which includes olive growing, manufacturing, real estate as well as a globally-recognized industrial valves business.
All of these experiences share one thing in common: my dedication to learning the internal workings of an industry from the ground up.
This passion for cultivating a business aligns with my personal passion for wine, and I believe that the best wines in the world all start with the soil which is why the various terrains of Israel's microclimates make the ideal foundation for producing high quality wines. With my time spent in Japan, while steeped in refined cultural experiences, my appreciation for the importance of
a quality product has really started to blossom. I hold a deep admiration for the Japanese culture, with its long tradition of sourcing and enjoying the finer elements of life. This admiration has been the inspiration behind my desire to share Israel's internationally-renowned wines to a well deserving audience.
Together, let’s strengthen and celebrate our shared values of family, heritage and quality, one savoured sip at a time.
