Go Golan: Life in the Golan Heights

In the summer of 2006, I moved with my family to the Golan Heights, the northeastern most region in Israel. Growing up in Long Island and immigrating to Israel in the 1990s, I have lived most of my life in suburbia; however, at the young age of 28, I embarked on a new chapter of life, a new adventure, a new type of living – country livin’. Follow my experiences, encounters, and observations of life on the northern frontier on this blog.

What's today?

Gamay NouveauThe third Thursday of November; and that can only mean one thing for wine lovers: Beaujolais festival!

Well, really the tradition is that wineries and bars open their doors Wednesday evening and pop open the new vintage as the clock dials swing into Thursday. But up in the Golan, as reported last year in the post titled Beaujolais all the way, the folks here are a little more laid back and more prone to being in bed at midnight.

The result is that the Golan Heights Winery's Beaujolais festival takes place tonight beginning at 8:30 pm. If my notes from last year serve me correct, the new 2007 Gamay Nouveau wines should be opened around 10 pm.

See you there!
