Episode 87: Simon Jacob interviews Sam Baum, Founder of Family Baum Winery in the Golan

Welcome to The Kosher Terroir

Part 1: Family Baum Winery:

There's something magical about beginnings�especially when they're rooted in volcanic soil under sweeping Golan skies. Join me for an unforgettable visit to Sha'al, where Sam and Rivka Baum are writing the next chapter of Israel's wine story with their Family Baum Winery.


After years at prestigious Castel Winery, Sam identified this northern Golan location as "the best area in the whole Levant" for viticulture. The evidence is compelling: deep soil with perfect water retention, volcanic basalt for drainage, dramatic temperature shifts between day and night, and uniquely low soil pH that makes minerals readily available to the vines. Standing among newly planted Syrah and Carignan rows with fierce winds whipping around us, I could feel the potential humming in the air.
