Recently, I went to buy a cook book in the local steimatzky store (www. Steimatzky.co.il) but ended up purchasing a winery book…
Wine in Israel is a well progressing realm, and lately some Israeli wineries have won international awards for their wine.
This pocket guide by Daniel Rogov (released in 2007) presents all the knowledge that you need on Israeli wine: History, Grape varieties & regions, Wineries and their wine, Lists of the best producers, wines, etc…..all in English. This guide gives “stars” to the wineries and scores for each individual wine according to its class…..from luxury wines to cheap table wines.The best thing is that it is quite small so you can carry it everywhere you go…..

Lee Hazlewood, One of the most influencious musicians in the world passed away this week. We can`t imagine the world without songs like “Some Velvet Morning”, “Summer Wine” or even “These Boots Are Made For Walkin`”. But as you probably know, this blog\website is for the Israeli culture….what is one of the greatest American icons doing in this kind of blog ???
I can always find some Israeli musicians that sounds like Hazlewood and write about them and his influence, but It`s not the case here…
I think that almost every Israeli know the song: “Some Velvet Morning” or in hebrew “Be`boker Shel Ktifa” that was sang by Rami Fortis on his classic album “Sipurim Me`Hakufsa” (”Tales from the TV box”). This album was one of the greatest influences on Israeli bloom of Rock n` Roll in early nineties and shaped the sound of Israeli modern rock.
I think that I have said enough…here are some nice words about Lee Hazlewood and only for you the original clip of “Some Velvet Morning” and later the Hebrew version (for limited time only with links).
