About Us

My name is Jeremy Simblist and I would first like to thank you for supporting myself as an orthodox Jew, my family values, and the state of Israel.   

After working a little bit with my Talmudic seminary in their food co-op program (which sold wine for Jewish rituals), I came to know a lot more about Israeli wine and came to learn that there is a lot of it that needs a market.

So, I/we have decided to launch holylandwine.com.   As ambassadors for Israeli wine, we think you will be astounded by the diversity, quality, and value.   And as consumers ourselves, we think it feels good to connect to the holy land and support its farmers. 

If you peek at ancient Middle East history, it is evident that the world’s greatest wines were being grown and produced in the eastern Mediterranean during biblical times.

We have archaeological proof that Roman emperors preferred it, and we know that it was the wine being used on the altar in the first and second temples in Jerusalem.

It was only during the Middle ages when Islam conquered the land that the vines ceased in their prominence.

It should come as no surprise then that once the Jewish people have returned to their land whose religion uses wine for various rituals, that grape vines/viticulture would once again rise.
