Support Israel - Buy Israeli Wines!!

You may or may not know, but there is controversy over some Israeli wines. Not only because they are Israeli, but because some of the wineries are in areas of Israeli held territory that are contested by surrounding nations.

During the recent Israeli wine festival in Vancouver, a small protest was held outside the venue. I was passed information that another protest has been planned. This weekend, the Canadian Palestinian Association-Vancouver, representing a number of pro-Palestinian organizations, will be protesting at the BC Liquor Store on Commercial Drive because it carries Israeli wines.

As it was passed on to us, we pass it on to you - the only way to send a message in support of Israel is with our wallets. Lets get out this weekend and buy an extra bottle or two of BC Liquor store Israeli wines. I recently had the Galil Mountain Merlot and have had the Chardonnay, the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Sauvignon Blanc and enjoyed them all.
