Eran Pick

Winemaker

"I vividly remember the moment I fell in love with wine. During a vacation in Germany, a friend suggested we visit a small winery in the Mosel. At the winery we were offered a TBA from the 60s. When the wine was poured into the glasses, the wonderful flowery aromas filled the entire room. A true love from the first sight."

He holds the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) diploma, which provides professional knowledge of wine evaluation. Pick joined Tzora Vineyards' team in 2006, following a few training periods at wineries in Napa, Sonoma, Barossa and Bordeaux.
