Tomorrow the 11th annual Jerusalem Wine Festival opens in the Sculpture Garden of the Israel Museum. The Jerusalem Wine Festival is the largest of the public wine events in Israel and will host thousands of visitors during the four nights of the event.
Over 30 wineries are represented from all over the country, including not only large commercial wineries but also boutique wineries.
This year the festival has an official sommelier, Jessy Bodek. Jessy is well-known on the Israeli wine scene. In 2005 Jessy won the Yarden Prize as the best sommelier in Israel in the competition organized by the Golan Heights Winery. He has worked as sommelier in leading restaurants in Tel Aviv and Jessy founded the WineSpace school to educate Israelis on wine.
