An evening at the Jerusalem Wine Festival

I went to the Jerusalem Wine Festival last week and got roaring drunk enjoyed a few tastes of wine from wineries all over the country.

I also took a bunch of photos... when I could hold my camera straight. Here are some of them.

And they had cheeses. Oh, did they ever!

They had live music, too:

They also had MDA personnel on hand, just in case:

The famous Ahava (love) sculpture:

Selling quiches. Mmmmm!

And they had chocolates! Serious chocolates for serious chocolate-lovers:

Then, during my travels, I came upon this structure that looks a bit like a small house. What could it be?

The library shack

I took a look inside, and... my God, it’s full of books!

And as long as I’m riffing on lines from 2001, they even had a monolith.

Another monolith, this time with a moon:

Finally, a wall with the Israeli flag and the moon:

Seriously, I didn’t get drunk at all. But I did enjoy the wine... and the liqueurs... and the apple cider... and the chocolate. Yes, the chocolate. Oh, did I mention the chocolate?

    And it was kosher! I'm glad to be back in the USA, but it's frustrating never being able to go to a festival and eat what's on offer.

    Great post, and clearly a fun evening. Wine, cheese, and choccie - what's not to like?
