Kosher Wine Events in California and New York
14, Jan 2010Share
It’s not my practice to post kosher wine events on this Israeli wine blog, since kosher wine and israeli wine are different — not all kosher wine is Israeli, not all Israeli wine is kosher, but of course many Israeli wine is kosher and the best kosher wine comes from Israel.

Wine Blogging Wednesday: Kosher Wine
16, Apr 2009Share
Wine Blogging Wednesday featured kosher wine and was hosted by The Corkdork.
