country visit, cheese and wine

A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY.



Last week we took a bus and went to visit a winery, cheese and bread emporium. We lunched at a charming little place, nestled in a quiet corner of Kfar Ha ro'e.

Going out with a group is excellent, because so often people need an organized trip to venture to new spots. Many of the people are pensioners and love to meet new people.



The Recanati winery is one of my favorites. I often serve their excellent blends. The grapes are carefully grown and experts create wines of a high standard.. They introduced us to a few wines and Yaniv gave us information on the company and the winery. The Petit Sarah Zinfandel Reserve is my favorites. It is
a deep color with a smoky aroma of blackberries, fresh plums, cloves and a hint of vanilla.



The cheeses were interesting, The variety include cow and goat cheeses and we loved the delicate flavors of the Tom and St. Mor. The Jacobs Family work as a team and it is a fun visit. The breads were loaded with fruits, nuts and beautifully blended with delicate herbs. The Challahs there are superb.



Lunch was scrumptious and we relaxed and chatted for an hour. The bakery at Soshannah is a credit to the lady who created it. Soshannah is a lovely woman and her family work together , baking the best cakes and cookies. They do sugarless cookies too. Soshannah is famous for her MON Pereg cake.



We visited a gift store where one could browse for hours and were served the most fabulous drink.

Rivkeleh always serves it and I recommend you pop in to taste it. It is made of Apple Cider, one green tea, 3 cloves, two sticks of cinnamon, a few pieces of lemon grass, lots of love and careful blending.



Enjoy the pleasure of outings and visit them in our beautiful land ………………………..love and light Rona
