It’s Israeli Wine … Not Kosher

2, Feb 2010

Share
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’s wrong with this picture?

Living in Israel and not having been abroad for two years gave me a warped perspective on Israeli wine. Not bad, of course, but I separate the world of Israel and the world of Jewish and kosher wine. In Israel, you can go in the finest wine shops and see a bottle of the now-kosher [...]

Wine Blogging Wednesday: Kosher Wine

16, Apr 2009

Share
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, [...]

Passover Kosher Wine Recommendations

31, Mar 2009

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 [...]

Wines for a bad economy
It’s no secret, the economy is not in good shape. This is true whether you are in the United States, Europe, Israel, or wherever. This is something we all know, and, personally, one of the reasons why I haven’t been updating this blog as often as I would have liked. However, [...]

Kosher and Proud of It

6, Jan 2009

Share
(This originally appeared on Wines Israel)

By: Adam Montefiore
Lets destroy some popular misconceptions: Not all kosher wine is made in Israel and not all Israeli wine is kosher! Nowadays nearly every wine producing country in the world produces kosher wine and in Israel, just to be confusing, many of the newer, smaller wineries make non-kosher [...]

The Wine Spectator’s Kim Marcus has a new article on “kosher wines for the High Holidays” in the latest Wine Spectator (free until October 1).

Not surprisingly, all but one of the wines are from Israel. Whether you are Jewish or not, celebrating the holidays or not, these are great wines to seek out. You have [...]
