Members of Temple Emanu-El met for an evening of wine tasting and bonding Sunday at Fresh Start Cafe. Three Binyamina Yogev wine blends from Israel were on the menu for the wine tasting.Â
"Most of us while growing up all we knew about wine was Manischewitz [wine]," said Judy Gibbs, membership committee chairwoman. "The wine industry in Israel has come a tremendous distance."
Rabbi Brenner Glickman served as sommelier and storyteller for the evening. He explained the historical importance behind every bottle. Â
