From The Wine Cellar

.

Bottles of wine accompany the Pesach storytelling - each glass of wine represents the four expressions used by G-d in describing the redemption of the Jewish people from Egypt.

It was discovered that Israeli wine had five times the amount of a potent antioxidant than other wines.

Wine Spectato recently awarded the high grade of 90 to the Tura Winery’s 2014 Mountain Peak wine.

Like Esther before her, Tura Winery co-owner Vered Ben Sa’adon is a modern-day example of a strong woman advocating for her people.

The “Oscars of wine” recognizes the products of 18 Israeli wineries, bestowing six gold medals, 31 silvers and 28 bronzes.

There is often an inner feeling that the package is not good or original enough, whatever that means. Every one of us has his/her sense of what is adequate to give out in our Purim gift packs.

The show underscores the vast array of kosher quality wines and spirits available on the market today, with hundreds of companies represented. And, the level and sophistication, diversity and excellence were clearly underscored this year, said Gabriel Geller, Royal Wine’s Director of PR.

Wherever we are from, we, as yidden, all have a cultural heritage that should unite rather than divide us. This is the reason why I chose a variety of wines from countries far away from one another to enjoy over the upcoming yomim tovim, instead of the usual new wines for the new year or sweet wines for a sweet year.

What’s even more special about the Purim feast is that there is such an emphasis on drinking wine, despite the fact that we don’t even make Kiddush!
