Israel Finally Has a Wine Map. Now Comes the Hard Part. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pour three glasses of pinot noir side by side, one from Burgundy, one from Sonoma Coast, California and one from Central Otago in New Zealand, and you will not need a wine education to know that something is different in each glass. Same grape, three wines that taste nothing alike. The Burgundy tends toward earth and dried cherry and a certain restraint. The California is riper and rounder, fruit forward in a way the French bottle never is. The New Zealand is darker and more perfumed, with an ac
Barbaresco Finally Arrives at the Kosher Table (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, the kosher wine world mostly knew Piedmont, Italy, as a source for sweet, low-alcohol Moscato in a blue bottle. Barolo, the region’s famous red wine, was rarely available in high-quality kosher options. That has changed. Excellent kosher Barolos are now available, and Barbaresco has officially joined them.

Read excerpt
Loew Vineyards in Mount Airy is releasing Mechaya, the first Star-K-certified honey wine produced in Maryland, and the name is fitting. In Yiddish, a mechaya is a relief, a delight, the thing you say out loud after the first sip on a hot afternoon. In Hebrew, the root means to give life. Both meanings apply here, because what is being released is not only a beverage category but a new step for a family business that the Holocaust interrupted. The Löw family made honey wine in Galicia, first in
Buying Kosher Wine Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you live in one of the major U.S. Jewish population centers, you benefit from kosher wine retailers who will deliver for free or for a nominal cost. If you can visit your local store, I certainly encourage supporting local businesses, and some store staff can be invaluable experts and guides. Recent court decisions have also made it easier for wineries to ship nationally, and supporting wineries directly is one of the best ways to ensure your favorite winemakers succeed. Across the country, v
