I’ve been guilty of this very thing, having gravitated far more toward so-called “grower Champagnes,” humbler bottlings (in production scale, not necessarily price) in which the wines are produced by the estate that grows the grapes. These house Champagnes represent a broad range of prices, each one readily available in the U.S.

A Wine Story

JULY 16, 2019

Today Winebow introduced Codice Citra cooperative wines, estate grown and bottled wines from a collection of family-owned vineyards. Passed down from generation to generation, these families maintain small vineyards with great attention to personal care. The white wines and red wines of Abruzzo are a real value in today’s wine world.

Once there, they discovered that the climate and growing conditions in Israel were quite similar to that of Bordeaux and suggested planting wine vineyards. The Carmel winery continued to grow and in 2013 a private investors group acquired control of Carmel Winery. And the price to value ratio is impressive.
