It’s Israeli Wine … Not Kosher
2, Feb 2010Share
I’ve really been enjoying the Wine Enthusiast lately. They’ve got some of the best coverage from a mainstream wine magazine of Israeli wine representing where the Israeli wine market is today. Particularly, I should add, on their social media channels.
So, I was pleased to see a blog post dispelling the famous kosher wine myth in the post [...]

What is Kiddush Wine?
30, Nov 2009Share
Wherever Jews have resided, there has always been home based wineries making wine for the Kiddush sanctification of the Sabbath. For the required blessing, grape beverages are necessary. Apart from a regular wine, either raisin wine or even grape juice is also suitable according to Jewish traditions, being regarded by Jewish law with the same [...]

Rosh Hashana, Jewish New Year, is this weekend.

Wine Blogging Wednesday: Kosher Wine
16, Apr 2009Share
Wine Blogging Wednesday featured kosher wine and was hosted by The Corkdork. Yes, I know, it’s Thursday, but Wednesday was chag, the last day of Passover in Israel and the second-to-last day in the Diaspora. More importantly, I was invaded by the in-laws, so my Wine Blogging Wednesday post had to wait.
For WBW: Kosher Edition, [...]

Jewish holidays are full of wine. On Shabbat, evening and morning, Jews say the kiddush (sanctification) blessing over wine. On Jewish holidays, we also say the blessings over wine. However, on one holiday, it really is all about wine — on Passover, in addition to the holiday meals during the day and the last day [...]

Passover – The Holiday of Wine
26, Mar 2009Share
I’ll post my updated comments (including some notes about Jewish law) for this year with my Passover wine recommendations later in the week. In the meantime, check out my recommendation last year and my great wine haggadah.
America may have its Maxwell House haggadah, a great marketing piece to remind American Jews that coffee is kosher [...]
Passover Wine Poll
21, Mar 2009Share
It’s almost Passover time and that means WINE! In addition to Shabbat and the end of the holiday, in Israel for one night and in the Diaspora for two, Jews will be drinking at least four cups of wine on seder night.
Before I make my own Passover wine recommendations, I want to know more about [...]
