Wine on the Vine<\/p><\/div>\n

For a unique Father\u2019s Day gift for those wine enthusiast dads, consider planting a vine at an Israeli winery for your Father\u2019s Day gift. This opportunity comes from Wine on the Vine<\/a>, an initiative from the Israel Innovation Fund.<\/p>\n

The steps are easy, starting with visiting the Wine on the Vine<\/a> website. Choose how many vines you wish to plant ranging from one for $18 to 1000 vines for $18,000. For the one vine you will receive a certificate. For the 1000 vines you receive a certificate, 100 bottles of wine from the winery you choose, dedicated vineyard and a wine label of your own. You start receiving a bottle of wine with five vines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your next step is to choose a winery to plant your vine. Nine wineries are participating in the program. Your final step is to choose a cause from the 14 possibilities. The process is completed on the Wine on the Vine website. It took about five minutes to complete the ordering process; it may take more time if you read about the wineries to choose and the charitable causes. I choose Yatir Winery since I have had a Viognier from their winery. For the charity, I choose Education for Excellence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yatir 2014 Viognier, Judean Hills<\/p><\/div>\n

Wine Trail Traveler did receive a Viognier from Yatir Winery and we wrote about the winery and wine <\/a>in 2017. The Yatir 2014 Viognier, Judean Hills was crafted with Viognier grapes and spent six months in oak. The wine had a yellow color with a gold hue. The aroma had yellow stone fruit notes, while the taste emphasized peaches, nectarines and a hint of caramel. There was a nice finish of fruit and oak.<\/p>\n
