Friday night dinner will be served around 7:00 pm. If you arrive after 9:00 pm on Friday, you're on your own for dinner <BR><BR>What: The best way to welcome spring is to camp out at Tomoka State Park -- voted among the 25 Best Spring Campout Locations in America by Camping Life magazine (the only one in Florida that made the list). Here is a taste of "real Florida" right in our back yard, with a variety of wildlife habitats and endangered species. Tomoka State Park (pronounced Toe-mocha) has many options and is close to the beach. Two organized activities for the group will be hiking along the half-mile trail once inhabited by Timucuan Indians, and observing bird (160 species) and marine life while canoeing along the Tomoka river and its surrounding creeks (canoe and kayak rentals are available). You may bring your bike if you'd like to ride; there are no rentals available at the park. There are bathrooms and outdoor showers near the campsite. If you want indoor showers, they are located by the front of the park – a short car ride away. Park website: http://www.floridastateparks.org/tomoka<BR><BR>Where: Tomoka State Park (386-676-4050) is located three miles north of Ormond Beach. We reserved Tomoka's Group Campsite. The park is 10 minutes from the beach and 15 from the nightlife of Daytona Beach for those who tire of roughing it.<BR><BR>Cost: $55 Mosaic members, $60 non-members. Price includes all meals from friday dinner to sunday breakfast. NEW FEATURE: Option to pay through Club Express with a credit card. Go to www.southfloridamosaic.org and sign in. Click on the calendar, and then the event and you will see "Register". Click on that and pay. It's that simple!<BR><BR>Bring: Tent, sleeping bag, pillow, towel, hiking boots or sneakers, hat, water bottle, bug spray, rain poncho, flashlight, bike if you choose, and clothing as desired. Mosaic has tents that you can borrow if you need one (please let us know so we can reserve one for you.)<BR><BR>Directions: Take I-95 North towards Daytona Beach. Take the SR-40 exit, EXIT 268, toward Ormond Beach. Turn RIGHT onto W. Granada Blvd (heading east). Travel 4 miles. Turn LEFT onto North Beach Street (the turn is right before a large bridge). Travel 4 miles. The park entrance is off of North Beach Street. If you want to take the turnpike, cross over to I-95 in Fort Pierce (at Okeechobee Road, exit 152).<BR><BR>Carpooling: Contact trip leader for carpool information.<BR><BR>Contact: RSVP to Linda Brockman, 954-806-5209 or email lindabrockman@aol.com. Make checks payable to Mosaic Outdoor Club of South Florida. Mail to Linda Brockman, 1050 NW 189 Ave., Pembroke Pines, FL 33029. Space is limited so make your reservations early.<BR></SPAN><BR></SPAN><BR><SPAN xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"></SPAN></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16px">Click here for more information on Mosaic Outdoor Club of S.

For the first time ever, we will be paddling for three hours downstream, then stopping for lunch along the river bank, and then paddling back up to the outfitter. The Loxahatchee River is the only river in Florida designated as "wild and scenic" by the U.S. Government. This trip will focus on the narrow section of the river, bounded by oak trees and sable palms. The wildlife abounds, and the canoeing is fairly technical, but doesn't require much exertion. We'll start out with a brief canoe lesson, and then hit the river. After canoeing for about two hours, we'll stop for a picnic lunch on the riverbank near Governor's Dock, before turning upstream for the three-hour paddle back to the outfitter. Doing the trip this way means that we don't need to wait for the shuttle bus at the end, nor spend another half hour on the bus. In addition, the canoes are half the cost of going to Jonathan Dickenson and getting shuttled back, and we get to experience the nicest part of the river twice! This is the way most people do this trip, and there are good places for lunch and porta-potties along the river.

It is extremely friendly, even in the markets there is little hassling. While of course we have to be beguiled by the lively souqs and tumultuous market squares of Marrakech, we spend more time out of the cities and off the beaten track villages. We'll leap into this land of extraordinary beauty on atwelve -day adventure through crisp mountain scenery, spectacular sheer gorges and picturesque towns, exhilarated by cycling trips, mule treks and canyon explorations, and touched by the warm hospitality of Moroccan villagers and nomads. <SPAN id=spnHL2>We should be in the small towns during the Rose Festival which is supposed to be spectacular. Plod through the Sahara in a camel convoy, and camping under the stars. Learn to master Moroccan couscous, ancient pottery techniques and explore a seaside town favoured by Jimi Hendrix</SPAN>.

This island paradise sits nestled among Miami's hustle and bustle, providing a playground for the weekend warriors but also providing a refuge for those seeking peace amongst the natural beauty of this barrier island. This tour explores the natural shorelines of a Key Biscayne where coastal birds and marine life are aplenty. The event will end at around 1 PM. We can either go out to lunch or hang out at a near by beach for the rest of the afternoon.<BR><STRONG>Where:</STRONG> Crandon Park Visitors and Nature Center (North Beach Parking Lot # 2), 6767 Crandon Blvd, Key Biscayne, FL 33149. Phone: (305) 361-6767.<BR><STRONG>Directions to the event site:</STRONG> From I-95 take exit 1A toward the Rickenbacker Causeway/Key Biscayne. Continue onto FL-913 S/Rickenbacker Causewary. Proceed over 2 bridges. You are now on Crandon Boulevard and need to be in the left lane. Continue on the Boulevard about 1/4 mile. On your left side directly across from the Golf Course is a green/white sign that reads Crandon Park NORTH BEACH. Make a left turn into Crandon Park Entrance and Parking Lot #2. Follow the road around the ball field to the north end of the parking lot to the Nature Center. You will see a covered portico with a sidewalk leading to the 2-story Nature Center (silver roof)<BR><STRONG>Carpool Site:</STRONG> Meet at the Holiday Inn in Hollywood. Take I 95 to Sheridan Street (exit #21), go west on Sheridan to the first light (N. 29 Ave.), turn right (north) and make the first left into the Holiday Inn. Meet in the parking lot on the right side of the hotel as you're facing the hotel. Meet at 8:30 am. We will depart at 8:45 am sharp! Please be on time to be considerate to others.<BR><STRONG>Bring:</STRONG> Snacks for during the paddle (there are no food options inside the park), plenty of WATER (at least 2 quarts per person), SUNSCREEN (protection from the sun including sun block with a high SPF 15 or higher), CLOSED TOE SHOES required (Keens are good, NO FLIP FLOPS!), bathing suit, towel, change of clothes, and money if we decide to go out to eat afterwards.

People generally start arriving around 5:00 pm on Friday and leave any time on Sunday.<BR>What: We're finally going back to Naples for a weekend of tennis! This time we are returning to the beautiful Naples Bath and Tennis Center. The center has condos of varying sizes, with full kitchens and laundry facilities. All rooming arrangements will be assigned based on a first-come, first-served basis. Even if you don't play tennis, there are lots of great things to do at the resort and throughout Naples. There is no official dinner planned for Friday evening. Some people choose to have dinner after tennis around 8:00-9:00, while others have a light meal before tennis. We generally get together around 10:00 pm on Friday to meet and greet and play some games. Saturday tennis will begin at 9:00 am with a one hour Round Robin led by Erin Negrea. We will have access to the courts for most of the morning as well as afternoon. There is also the option of poolside fun and/or the beach, with tennis again around 5:00 pm. We will plan dinner out on Saturday night as a group. Sunday morning we will have our final tennis matches. <BR><STRONG>Where:</STRONG> Naples Bath & Tennis Club, 4995 Airport Pulling Rd, Naples, FL, 1-800-225-9692. <BR><STRONG>Directions:</STRONG> I-75 to Naples Exit #107 (Pine Ridge Rd.) Make a left (west) to Airport Pulling Rd., and turn left (south) to the second light. Turn right at Clubhouse Drive, and into the Naples Bath & Tennis Club. Go straight, and the clubhouse will be two blocks down on the right. Pick up your registration packets and keys at the office in the clubhouse if you arrive before 5:00 pm. Drive time from Ft. Lauderdale is less than two hours. <BR><STRONG>Carpool Site:</STRONG> We do not have an official carpool site for this event, as people tend to leave at different times. We can recommend a convenient meeting place at the Wellesley Inn near I-75 & I-595, right next to the Baymont Inn. Take I-595 west to exit #1 (S.W. 136 Ave.) Turn right (north) on 136 Ave, and the hotel will be on the left. The signage is bad, and it is set back from the road. If you reach the gas station or the Baymont Inn, you have passed it.<BR><STRONG>Bring:</STRONG> Whatever you need for the weekend, tennis gear (proper attire is required for the courts; no tank tops for men or halters for women. Court shoes are required for clay courts), bathing suit, beach gear if you want to go to the beach, games for the night owls, and shoes if you think you might want to go dancing Saturday night (some places don't allow sneakers). Tennis balls are provided.<BR><STRONG>Cost:</STRONG> The following pricing is for Mosaic Members. Non-Members add $5. Cost is $85 per person, for two people sharing a bedroom in a 2 or 3 bedroom condo. There is one 1-bedroom condo available with one full size bed, which is available for a cost of $100 per person for 2 people. There are two condos, which have pullout sofa beds in the living room. The sofa beds are available for $70 per person for the weekend. Due to limited availability of condos, everyone must share a room (many rooms have twin beds). We will try to honor requests for accommodations, but all rooms and requests will be first come first served. The price for the weekend includes accommodations Friday and Saturday nights, full use of all tennis facilities as well as swimming pool and Jacuzzi, a light bagel breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings and some evening snacks. All prices are subject to availability, and rooming assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis.<BR><STRONG>Contact:</STRONG> Beth Herzbrun at 954-987-5202 or e-mail </SPAN><A href="mailto:bethherzbrun@bellsouth.net"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">bethherzbrun@bellsouth.net</SPAN></A><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14px"> Space is limited.

The evening was a really valuable opportunity for wine enthusiasts to learn how different soils affect the taste, texture, color, and aroma of fine wines. See below for the full story.<BR> <BR>The Kosher Wine Society is proud to announce its association with the famous Glenmorangie distillery in Scotland. For details, see the full story below.<BR><BR>Looking forward to tasting with you soon! <BR>Aron<BR><BR>KWS President <BR>646-484-(Wine)9463<BR><BR>The Kosher Wine Society<BR>Teams Up with Glenmorangie Distillery<BR><BR>by: Rhonda Weiss<BR><BR>The Kosher Wine Society is pairing up with Scotland's famous Glenmorangie Distillery. Through shelf talkers at liquor stores, discount coupons for members and website advertisement, the Kosher Wine Society will be working to bring Glenmorangie's exceptional single malt whiskeys to the attention of the American Jewish Community. Glenmorangie's long history and the quality of its traditional manufacturing process along with pure waters, extraordinary stills, fine casks, continued innovation and attention to detail make it a distillery whose products we are proud to endorse.<BR> <BR>Glenmorangie, located in Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland, is one of the first licensed distilleries in the Highlands. In 1843, founder William Matheison along with a team of experts known as "the sixteen men of Tain," began producing a high-quality range of single-malt whiskey. The tradition continues today. With a staff of just 16, Glenmorangie has been producing the best selling single malt in the UK.<BR> <BR>The key ingredient in any malt whisky is the water that goes into it. Glenmorangie's water comes from the Tarlogie Springs, located about a mile above the distillery. Waters that fall as rain on the Hill of Tain filter down through lime and sandstone rocks, gathering minerals on the way, and rise again at Tarlogie, taking up to a hundred years to emerge. This precious water was in recent years threatened by the possibility of land development. To insure the quantity and quality of water needed for the distillation process Glenmorangie purchased Tarlogie Springs and some 650 acres surrounding it.<BR> <BR>The Glenmorangie stills have the tallest columns of any in Scotland, standing 26 ft 3 in, with 10 feet 1.25 inch necks. This is especially significant because this mean only the lightest and purest vapors can ascend and condense into spirit. Glenmorangie's distilling methods retain less than a third of the second distillate for maturation. The rest is returned to the still for further refinement.<BR> <BR>Glenmorangie controls the quality of its casks as well. All of its products are matured in white oak casks that are manufactured from trees grown in Glenmorangie's own forest in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. After being left to air for 2 years, the new casks are leased for 4 years to distilleries for use in maturing bourbon. Glenmorangie then reclaims the casks and uses them to mature their single-malt whiskeys.<BR> <BR>Glenmorangie distills a wide selection of products, all with their own singular flavors and character. Which of these can be qualified as kosher is a matter of opinion. Glenmorangie's "Original" range of whiskeys is matured entirely in casks that were first used for bourbon and are therefore indisputably kosher. The "Extra Matured" range is transferred into casks that were previously used for other spirits such as wine, port or sherry in a process called finishing.<BR> <BR>Whiskey that has been matured or finished in casks that formerly contained sherry or other wine products has been a subject of debate among rabbis. Because grape juice and wine are traditionally sacramental items, Jewish law requires that they be made in a controlled kosher fashion. All kosher wine and grape juice manufacturing requires the direct involvement of trained rabbis. The question is whether sherry in the wood of the cask, not having been produced as a kosher wine, retains enough of its character as wine that its presence in the cask will render the whisky not acceptable by kosher standards.<BR> <BR>On this issue there exists more than one school of thought and more than one answer. Consult your local rabbi if you have questions regarding the kosher status of any scotch. <BR><BR>After investigating the opinion of many organizations that issue kosher certificates, the Kosher Wine Society has added their endorsement to Glenmorangie Original, 10 years old, Glenmorangie Astar and Glenmorangie 18 years old. For a list of local liquor stores that carry these products please visit: the Kosher Wine Society at www.kosherwinesociety.com.<BR><BR>WINE AND SOIL <BR>EXCITING TASTES FROM THE GALILEE<BR><BR>An Evening With Tal Cohen - Tabor Winery<BR><BR>by Rhonda Weiss<BR> <BR>On June 3, 2010 - in the Penthouse of the Roger Smith Hotel - guests of the Kosher Wine Society welcomed Tal Cohen, United States' representative of Israel's Tabor Winery located near the historic vineyards of Kfar Tabor in the lower Galilee. Tabor Winery produces an innovative and ever evolving collection of the highest quality wines made from grapes grown in four different soil types occurring side by side in the landscape; Terra Rosa, Chalk, Clay and Volcanic.<BR> <BR>For more than 120 years, the vineyards of Kfar Tabor have been supplying grapes for Israel's leading wineries. In 1997 four families, Sela, Korman, Pelag and Ben Tanhum set up a boutique winery with each family overseeing a different facet of administration. Together they contribute four hundred years of accumulated agricultural experience, endowing the young winery with qualities rooted in longstanding tradition and know-how.<BR> <BR>Chief winemaker Arye Nesher, a Russian wine expert who immigrated to Israel in 1990, holds to a Terroire world-view. He invests the better part of his time creating the most advantageous environment for the vineyard - personally taking charge of growing methods. He believes that while ninety percent of a wine's quality is determined by the vine's growing time and location in the vineyard, a mere ten percent by the production process. The astute choice of grape varieties and soils, the close proximity of the vineyards to the winery and carefully controlled conditions of winemaking combine to give Tabor wines their unique and refined taste.<BR> <BR>Kosher Wine Society guests sampled wines from three of Tabor's series: <BR> <BR>Galil <BR>Tabor's youngest wines, made from a combination of grapes grown in all soils. The winemaker calls these "happy" wines. Easy drinking, fresh and crisp, slightly bubbly on the tongue, Galil wines make excellent choices for those who are new to the world of wine. The Galil series is not oaked, but rather aged for four months in stainless steel, and should be chilled before drinking. Guests tasted four varieties: Tabor Galil Chardonnay 2009, Galil Sauvignon Blanc 2009, Galil Merlot 2007 and Galil Cabernet Sauvignon 2007. <BR> <BR>Adama - The "Soil" Series<BR>To create this series the winemaker separated grapes grown in the different soils to create wines whose aromas, flavors and finish strongly reflect the qualities of each particular soil. Wines from grapes grown in chalk soil are earthy and minerally. Wines from grapes grown in volcanic soil have a very strong nose with vanilla and fruit flavors. Volcanic soil is very hard and rocky, so the roots of the grapevines must grow very far down in search of water. Because of this, the grapes produce wines that are very complex and with a strong presence. Terra Rosa soil is soft and dark red in color, and the Terra Rosa wines all carry this depth of color. <BR> <BR>Adama wines are more sophisticated than the Galil and should be consumed at room temperature. Aged for twelve months in French or American Oak, they are richer with more body and complexity and appeal to the more experienced wine drinker. Because they are very unique in palette and nose, many "only Merlot" drinkers enjoy the Adama Cabernet, and many Cabernet drinkers enjoy the Adama Merlot. Sommeliers in a blind sampling could not determine which kind of wine they had tasted.<BR> <BR>Participants tasted Tabor Adama Chalk Soil Sauvignon Blanc 2009, Adama Chalk Soil Merlot 2006, Adama Volcanic Soil Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 and Adama Terra Rosa Cabernet Sauvignon 2006. <BR> <BR>Mes'cha<BR>This is Tabor's top-of-the-line label and the winemaker's most personal creation. He uses a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz grapes grown in each of the soils and ages the wine for eighteen months in French Oak. Due to selective hand harvesting and exacting standards of perfection, only a small quantity of this wine is produced yearly. In fact, at the discretion of the winemaker, there are some years in which this wine is not released for sale at all. The vintage guests tasted this evening was Tabor Mes'cha Cab-Merlot-Shiraz 2005.<BR> <BR>As an added treat, Tal Cohen introduced samples from Tabor's new Plinim "Pearls" line, currently being sold only in Israel. These are delicate sparking wines that are lovely to drink on their own and make wonderfully refreshing Sangria.<BR> <BR>The highly distinctive qualities of each wine and wine series sparked lively interest and discussion. Guests spontaneously compared their findings among themselves and directed many questions to Tal Cohen. The event, structured as a formal sit-down wine tasting and lecture, went beyond any "educational formula for polite listening." <BR> <BR>In the most positive sense, the guests broke the boundaries of this both pleasurable and informative wine tasting, and took on learning for themselves with laughter, commentary and enthusiastic participation. The evening gave guests much to think about in terms of soil types, winemaking techniques and the beautiful landscape of the Galilee. It also opened the door for them to explore a wide range of aromas, tastes and textures.<BR> <BR>WINE OF THE MONTH PINOT GRIS<BR><BR>Our choice for August is Pinot Gris, a potentially richer and more complex white to go with the rich late summer colors and the rusts and golds of autumn.<BR><BR>Pino Gris is a white wine grape of the species Vitis vinifera and is thought to be a mutant clone of the Pinot noir grape. It's name "gris" meaning grey in French refers to its normally grayish-blue fruit. Often however, even within the same cluster, the ripe grapes can vary in color from black to deep golden yellow and copper to light shades of pink and even white.<BR><BR>The traditional base of Pino Gris is Alsace, France where it is called tokay d'Alsace. The grapes are also grown in Hungary, New Zealand, and Tasmania. Growers in northeastern Italy call the same grape Pino Grigio. Pino Gris is also are now being grown quite successfully in Oregon where many wineries are moving steadily away from making Chardonnay while increasing production of Pinot Gris. <BR><BR>Depending on the attention to ripeness at harvest and techniques of vinification, Pinot Gris can create very different wines, from tangy and light and even bland and vapid, to rich, round and full-bodied. Pinot Gris is usually delicately fragrant and mildly floral with lightly lemon-citrus flavors along with melon, apple and pear. It can also show components of vanilla, sweet wood, almond, spice and honey on the palate. Its color is a pale yellow with hints of gold and its texture is notably silky and smooth.<BR><BR>Food Pairings<BR><BR>Pinot Grigio pairs nicely with light pastas, goat cheese and cheese/cracker combinations. It also matches well with vegetable salads, salmon or Arctic Char, fried fish, white fish, chicken and turkey. Because this wine is fairly acidic, avoid pairing it with foods that have high acid contents such as citrus fruits or tomato-based dishes.<BR><BR>Kosher Wine Society | 333 E 102nd # 833 | New York | NY | 10029</DIV>Andrew Gainesvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10516851527922185380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255161427196987459.post-76824917307188555242010-08-02T13:25:00.000-04:002010-08-02T13:27:19.744-04:00September 2 Quebec Canada Mosaic Jewish Outdoor Club International Event<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>September 2 Quebec Canada Mosaic Jewish Outdoor Club International Event</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Calibri><A href="http://www.MosaicOutdoor.org">www.MosaicOutdoor.org</A></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Incredible Jewish outdoor, long weekend in the spectacular Laurentian Mountains of Quebec Canada.
