Hi Susan

You are most welcome!

The idea is that we all agree on the same dish and every one makes their own wine pairing. Israeli wines are as welcome as any other region’s offering.

As a displaced Californian, I’d like to participate as well, with a twist, if I may. I’ve been living in Israel for over 10 years now, and have been comparing Israeli wines with my memories of California wines. Unless you’re only interested in California wines, I’d like to do this with local Israeli wines and post the results.

Sure, let’s do it. Name a date and a recipe and let’s get going!

I think it’s a great idea! We focus a lot on the wine and sometimes forget the food pairing part. I can’t wait to get cookin!

I would imagine that if this idea takes off, then the participating bloggers would “throw recipes into a hat” and we’d pick something to work with each month.

I love the idea. Of course, bloggers will have to create the recipe to really make sure the pairings work. It would be fun to be able to t rate which blogger made the best match.

I think I mentioned to you already, but I’ll reiterate here. I think it’s a great idea and would love to participate.

I really like this idea. I will definitely participate, I think it will be really interesting to see the variety of wines that people choose to pair with the same dish. Keep us posted on the details.

Hi Alex

Thanks for your comment.

Yes, The idea would be to post a recipe, let people play with it, pick some wines and then post their wine pairing(s). So a 3-4 week lead would be part of the format. My thinking is that if there is interest in this, I’ll do one for starters - if people want to see what I am trying to achieve.

I’ll drop Andrew a line. Thanks for the tip.
