Israeli Wine Information

Israeli Israel and this region of the world has been making wine for thousands of years. The first recorded instance of winemaking was with Noah - a story whose roots have now been traced to an actual event in the Black Sea. How are modern day wines from Israel?
There are currently five wine regions in Israel:

Galilee, north of Nazareth
Shomron, south of Haifa
Samson, south of Tel Aviv
Negev, south of Gaza
Judean Hills, south of Jerusalem
The best wine comes from the Galilee region, especially from the Golah Heights. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc do especially well, but wineries also create Merlot and other well known wine types.
