WINE, WINE AND MORE WINE!!! SALUTE!

                                               

Okay, besides being totally delicious, wine, is tres healthy for us! Well, not a bottle a day ;) but a glass a day sure is.

* Studies find that people who drink wine daily have lower body mass than those who indulge occasionally, moderate wine drinkers have less abdominal fat and narrower waists than people who drink liquor!!
* RESVERATROL- it is a key ingredient that helps prevent damage to blood vessels and prevents blood clots. Resveratrol is also an antioxidant that keeps you young!! Can't get better than that!

WINE-

1. It MAKES YOU FEEL CLASSY- You can be at home in your sweats but with a full glass of wine in hand you will feel tres classy!
2. You don't feel bloated like you do after beer.
3. No one will judge you for drinking a glass of wine during the day. Wine is always permittable, especially after a stressful work day.
4. When you are wine drunk you are smart drunk. While when you are drinking vodka cranberries or some kind of other hard drink you are totally stupid drunk!
5. Isn't' wine technically fruit? Fruit is tres healthy ;)

So go grab that glass (or two, or three, heck grab that bottle!)  some cheese and put on a cheesy romantic movie while in your sweats all cozy in bed! Oh what a classy and cosy night!

Our faves -

Red Wine- Catena Malbec (from Argentina).
White Wine- Moscato and Gewurztraminer (just ask for Gevertz).

Cheese- We love -Asiago  (even though it is usually paired with Cabernet Sauvignon we still like it with our Gevertz). Boursin cheese is usually paired up with Gevertz if you are strict on proper pairing.

Enjoy!

*BLACK SEA*

                                                              ~ BLACK SEA ~



                                                                 ~  NA ZDOROVIE! ~


A treasure of a restaurant found at the Hatachana, in the old Rail Station in Tel Aviv. Located on a rooftop where you can enjoy the beautiful view of old Jaffa city and a great summer sea breeze.

We were welcomed by the sweet hostess, Ron, who recommended we try a very fresh summery cocktail that she herself concocted. It consisted of Crem de Casis, strawberry and lemonade, totally delish and leaves you happily slightly sloshed!!


Ron lavished us with starters! Roasted Red Peppers - with a marinade of honey & garlic, covered with cheese crumbs on top, formidable!. Miniature Peppers- stuffed with cheese and served with Polenta, finger-licking good! and Okroshka- cold soup based on yogurt and egg. Ceaser Salad with Shrimps, crunchy and appetizing , Fresh Vegetable Salad- olive oil, red onion , herbs and sour cream, very earthy and Lavash-  with Salaguni cheese and chopped greens which was delectable.







Main Courses - Seafood Pasta "Black Sea" gratifying and heavenly, Grilled whole grey Mullet- crispy, with a delicate, mild, fragrance of spices which was so impossible to stop eating till there was nothing left but the bone!  Steak Entrecote -(300g) with tomato chutney and baked potato, was delicious with a soft juicy virginal pink moist center, Lamb Chops- melted in our mouths, very full bodied,  and Sinta Steak- totally succulent! .






                                                                Delicious Desserts

The Black Sea Restaurant is a magical place with a kind hearted, professional staff (Ron is amazing!!) and outstanding cuisine. It is definitely a must go!
