Spanning wine regions in Israel, California, Walla Walla, and Chile winemaker, Maayan Koschitzky, has accumulated more winemaking experience in ten years than many enologists would in an entire career. Our conversation in this episode explores the practices of Kosher winemaking, especially from Maayan's early career in Israel. After moving the the US to take winery jobs at Screaming Eagle and Dalla Valle Vineyards, Maayan moved into his current position as Director of Winemaking at Atelier Melka, working with Philippe Melka. This episode is full of great technical discussion of winemaking both in the vineyard and winery.
