#281 – December 18, 2014 Happy Chanukah to all! As we know, food plays a very important role on Chanukah (as with most Jewish holidays, Chanukah can be thematically characterized as “they tried to kill us, we won, let’s eat”) which is easily one of my favorite holidays, combining family time with presents, tons of […]
#292 – May 20, 2015 Despite New York reverting back to more typical Spring weather these past few days, the recent tantalizing days of summer-like weather were sufficient to galvanize me into my annual ode to Rosé, easily one of the most glorious of all wine genres and unfortunately still snubbed by a large percentage […]
#263 – February 7, 2014 After a six-week hiatus and with the Gregorian year of 2013 now solidly in the bag (and then some), I wanted to take this opportunity to look back at the last 12 months and discuss the occurrences and trends that impacted the wonderful world of Israeli and kosher wines (“KIWW”).

#266 – March 26, 2014 Despite the fact that nearly 25% of 2014 is in the bag, I’m hoping that there is still an appetite for the third leg of my annual trifecta of year-end newsletters. The delay is at least partially attributable to the fact that I recently switched jobs and have been playing […]
#157 – January 6, 2010 As any reader of this newsletter knows, while I may be exceedingly partial to Cabernet Franc, I try to enjoy all the variety that the grand old world of good kosher wine has to offer. The increase in both quality and variety of kosher wines over the last five years […]
