Jaffa home dining by Dolev Rotter
Tasted Thursday, December 26, 2013 by Yagil with 288 views
First time to try the venue of Dolev home, which seemed a good choice: the place is suitable for wine meetings, good service by Dolev & Sara, tasty cheese, good pasta etc.
We all enjoyed the evening: Yoram, Yigal, Moshe, Zeev, Avi S., Nurit & Asher Tishler, Tali & Benzi Weiner.
Unfortunately, two bottles out of five weren't pleasant and not so drinkable. But the other three were superb!
