Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte Board of Trustees Annual Meeting
Tributes to Larry Schwartz, Outgoing President and Alison Lerner, Incoming President
Presentation of the slate of officers and board of trustrees of the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte
Following the meeting, please join us as we experience the rich bouquet of Israeli wines featuring Israeli Wine Producers Association’s (IWPA) American representative, Joshua Greenstein.
Greenstein notes that IWPA’s 25 Israeli member wineries represent 85% of
the total wine imported to the U.S. from the country, he says.
Greenstein says that growing interest among retailers, restaurateurs and consumers for wines from under-represented regions with interesting stories gives him an advantage these days, especially since most retailers have little awareness of wines from the Middle East. “Israel as a wine producing country has one of the best stories across the world, and each winery has a unique story to tell,” says Greenstein.
