Several generations ago the Skalli family was making wine in Algeria, which was then a major wine-producing nation, one supplying France with much of its table wine. Conditions changed and the family left for France after Algerian independence. In the late 1970s Robert Skalli studied winemaking in California. He returned to France with the idea of making varietal wines, those based on a single grape rather than a blend. Skalli was among those who revolutionized the wine industry in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of south central France, bordering the Mediterranean; the highest-volume wine producing region in the country.

The Upper Galilee region in northern Israel is home to some of the country's highest mountains. They are over a kilometer (more than five-eighths of a mile high). While such mountains can't begin to compete with Mount Everest, they can produce excellent wine and were doing so even two thousand years ago. And who ever associated wine with Mount Everest, anyway? This particular producer is a joint venture between an Israeli kibbutz (Yiron) and a private company, the Golan Heights Winery. The vineyards are hot in the daytime, and cool at night. And I have a sneaking suspicion that the soil is poor. These are both important considerations for producing fine wine. By the way, some of these lovely vineyards are snowy in the winter. The winery has set up a distinctive visitor's center.
