The Herzog Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon is perhaps not as well known as the Herzog Napa Valley and Alexander Valley, but that’s only because it was introduced more recently. Lake County is a wine growing region in Northern California that many winemakers like to nickname “the new Napa”. The area is known for its volcanic soil and sharp differences of temperature between the day and night during the growing and harvesting season. The result is a wine that is rich and flavorful, an absolute delight both to enjoy now and to age for many years to come.

86. On Truth and Denial: With Harvard Lawyer Alan Dershowitz

Although the Jewish people have probably seen more wars than any other nation, they have always remained the most passionate about the idea of world peace, harmony, and respect among all peoples. The Jewish scriptures are filled with practical and theoretical knowledge about wars, which can and should be of use today. According to Judaism, some wars are not merely a human conflict but actually have a divine purpose. Winning a war, in that context, means overcoming the darkness and increasing the Godly light in the world.  In this episode , Manis shares lessons on winning wars( from the inside out).
