The Kosher Decanter: 2017 Psagot Sinai M-Series
Memorial Day is a day to reflect upon the sacrifices many heroes have made for our country. Many American Jewish families, including my own, have a legacy of service to the American military and we pause to reflect upon their sacrifices for our fragile freedom....
The Kosher Decanter: 2014 Marquisat de Binet Cuvée Abel Bordeaux
Many of us see a French label and quietly put the bottle back on the store shelf, afraid to try what we don’t know. Take risks! Try something new! Try a different varietal, wine from a new country, a compelling blend! Ask your friends what recent wine they’ve loved....
The Kosher Decanter: 2018 Ramon Cardova Rioja Rosado
Now that warm weather is upon us, it’s time to dust off the swim trunks, claim a place on the pool chairs and enjoy the new season’s bounty of wines. The Details I hereby declare it rosé season. Rosé’s crisp acid balanced with lightly refreshing fruit creates the...
The Kosher Decanter: Passover Suggestions

With the festive wine-drinker’s holiday of Purim now behind us, and the more solemn but freedom-lover’s and wine-drinker’s Passover approaching (no worries, we’ll do a Passover-themed Decanter next time), we turn our attention to lighter, brighter...
The Kosher Decanter: O’Dwyers Creek Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
The Details: Well, the festive and totally underrated holiday of Purim is upon us. While we listen to Megillat Esther twice before the big Purim seudah (holiday meal) on March 20-21 and excitedly stamp out the name of the evil Haman (boo!), we can’t help but think of...
The Kosher Decanter: Terra di Seta Chianti Classico Riserva
We covered a wonderful Spanish Rioja in our last Decanter post. In this column, we move eastward across the sunny Mediterranean to discuss a personal favorite: Italian Chianti. Specifically, the 2012 Terra di Seta Chianti Classico Riserva ($30-$35). Chianti is named...
The Kosher Decanter: Elvi Herenza Rioja
Happily, the world of kosher wine has blossomed into what one might consider a “Golden Age.” Every great wine region in the world now produces kosher wine, including France, Spain, Italy and Germany in Europe; Napa and Sonoma in the United States; and an...Upcoming Events
