The Shirt Hits The Holy Land
The first pic is of some folks very close to my heart, my parents and my pastor and his wife on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. Besides being the largest fresh water lake in Israel, some cool stuff happened there in antiquity including a little water walking.
My Dad is on the left next to my Mom. Pastor Jim and his wife Mary are on the right. Motley crew all around. I’m not exactly sure what wine they are rockin’ in the photo, but I’m told it was a Cabernet blend and that it went down easy.
The Shirt Catches Big Fish
This second pic is from noted photographer and vineyard owner Alan Campbell near La Paz Mexico. Alan was there last week on a fishing vacation, and the shirt apparently brought him good fortune. Check out this absolute heifer of a dorado Pez Gallo.
Good times.
And thanks for the photos! Keep ‘em coming in.

Josh,
While I was already pictured in my shirt on pinotblogger (yeah me!), I recently took it for a spin on my honeymoon. Here is the shirt in Cozumel, MX:

It looks like they are drinking a Carmel Selected from the picture, which is the lowest line from Carmel (a supermarket wine, if I may… call it Israel’s Gallo, although Carmel Selected is a better supermarket wine). I hope they enjoyed other great Israeli wines including the Single Vineyard Carmel series, Flam, Margalit, Avidan, Yatir, Yarden and others from the Golan Heights Winery, Clos de Gat, and Segal’s great Marom Galil, Recanati, etc etc etc.
Next time you’re in Israel drop me a line and check out HaKerem: The Israeli Wine Blog (http://www.israeli-wine.org).

Hey Josh – where did they stay there on the Sea of Galilee? Beautiful area. And VERY important water source for that country, too.
I will be in Israel the week of August 19 – so excited to return there for a visit!
