Robert Parker’s rating system employs a 50-100 point quality scale. It is my belief that the various twenty (20) point rating systems do not provide enough flexibility and often result in compressed and inflated wine ratings. The Wine Advocate takes a hard, very critical look at wine, since I would prefer to underestimate the wine’s quality than to overestimate it. The numerical ratings are utilized only to enhance and complement the thorough tasting notes, which are my primary means of communicating my judgments to you.

An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase, and consume.

An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
|

A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.

“Hebrew Kosher Microbrew”
Why is this beer different from all other beers? “In the beginning there was an idea, and it was a good one. A Gourmet Kosher Microbrew to celebrate the bounty of our own American land of milk and honey. Our first creation is Genesis Ale, a rich, smooth, and distinctive light brown ale. A smidgen of Middle East, a dash of American West… Then we tasted it, and it was very good. After 5000 years of civiliation, finally a microbrew with chutzpah to call itself The Choosen Beer. From the Golden Gate to the City of gold, may HEBREW join in the blessings of our lives… To Life! L’Chaim. Jerry Cohen, Creator
