“Adam S. Montefiore is not just a great Israeli wine writer, he is a great wine writer (period!) and a great writer (period again!). His columns are stories not scores, they tell us about human experience without judgment and they encourage us to experience wine as it should be experienced.” Martin Sinkoff
