Hi ChaimShraga, sounds very exciting indeed! I don't know whether you are aware of such details or not, but is Midbar exactly like Asif was? Meaning that the only difference between a kosher winery and this one is the absence of an official certification or are other people involved in the production with Yaakov that are not observant jews? I doubt it as Yaakov wouldn't himself drink the wines then but I'm curious because I would then drink the Midbar wines already now, Yaakov's "permission" is enough for me!
