After visiting Yosef's apartment we headed to the winery, a ten minute drive away. Tishbi has two outlets in the area, the winery itself with a restaurant, and a second restaurant in the downtown area. They have similar menus, and Yosef works at the downtown location, so he was able to really hang out with us at the winery location.
At the winery we met up with friends (also a US hour working family so off for Fourth of July), Shlomo's parents who are also friends with Yosef and Nina on their own. So we started off with a tour of the winery, but the two toddlers weren't so into it, and it was hot, and we were hungry, so we decided to cut it short and go straight to have a (late) lunch.
The restaurant is beautiful, and the food delicious. My favorite thing- the only thing I took a picture of before we gobbled up the last bite was a beer bread with sliced cheese on top (maybe brie) and a wine jelly, with an arugula salad. It was so good. Everything was. And we got a lot of different things. Other highlights was the pizza made with buffalo mozzarella. Oh and desserts! Delicious, rich brownies and also a chocolate mousse thing. Omygosh, I'm getting full all over again.
After the restaurant the Zelcers left to check out the beach and meet up with friends in the area, and we stuck around Zichron's downtown area- a pedestrian mall with adorable little shops. It reminded me of Aspen. So charming.
And it was good for Eitan to be able to run around a little in preparation for the drive back to Jerusalem.
We love you Zichron, thank you for a great little day out. Even if there were no fireworks...
you know you've been in israel too long when this happens "Tishbi has to outlets in the area...." you mean two as in the number 2.
