Josef and Ande headed off to the Yarra Valley last week for a lovely dinner with Glen & Angie Olsen of Olsen Wines.
After dinner, they wandered through the Olsen vineyard’s to take a look at their Yarra Valley Pinot Noir grapes which are looking quite superb.

Sharday recently arrived home after a two month holiday in Israel and Eastern Europe. This first part will document her travels to Israel:
Hello all,
I would like to share some photo’s with you from my trip to Israel and give you a run down on the local food and wine.
To the outside world, Israel isn’t know as a food, gourmet or wine savvy country but after my visit, I have definitely changed my mind. I visited many local restaurants, markets (’shouk’s’) and had dinner with only the locals and overall I would have to say the quality is like none other in the world.

One of the reason’s why Israel’s food is so great is due to it’s freshness and the availability of so many spices, as seen here.
I went to a particular Goat’s cheese restaurant/dairy farm in Ein Kamonim (near Gush Segev) that had the most amazing array of goat’s cheeses! This tasting board didn’t last too long!
Don’t forget your after meal digestive: coffee! In Arab restaurants, it’s likely that you’ll have Turkish coffee which is strong in cardamon flavours.
One of my favourite Israeli restaurants was Louise’s situated in Haifa. They have a massive selection of wholemeal, vegan, vegetarian meals while still retaining a homey, country likely vibe. I adored their chicken scnitzel which was coated in numerous seeds alongside the usual breadcrumbs.
This brings us to the end, I hope you’ve enjoyed the sights of what Israel has to offer.
