Chateauneuf du Pape (and one Hermitage) soirée
Jaffa home dining by Dolev Rotter
Tasted Thursday, December 26, 2013 by Yagil with 322 views
Introduction
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.
Flight 1 (4 Notes)
Flight 2 (1 Note)
Closing
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!
