Wine Blogging Wednesday featured kosher wine and was hosted by The Corkdork. Yes, I know, it’s Thursday, but Wednesday was chag, the last day of Passover in Israel and the second-to-last day in the Diaspora. More importantly, I was invaded by the in-laws, so my Wine Blogging Wednesday post had to wait.
For WBW: Kosher Edition, I bring you a list of links on kosher wine – and a reminder that not all kosher wine is from Israel and not all Israeli wine is kosher. For kosher wine from Israel, check out wineries like Yatir, Golan Heights Winery, Tzora, Castel, Dalton, Carmel, Galil Mountain, Recanati, Teperberg, Tishbi, and more.
Also, the following articles on kosher wine are well worth reading:
Kosher and Proud of It by Carmel’s Adam Montefiore
The kosher conundrum – not all Israeli wines are kosher, not all kosher wines are Israeli
Kosher is Not a Country, from my friend and colleague Richard Shaffer, including his great video:
and, of course, there was the tasting in the Wine Advocate in which Mark Squires said, among other things, that “I can say Kosher certification seemed to be no impediment at all to making excellent wine.”
But, if you’re interested in fine kosher wine from Israel, just check out the many posts.
And, if you can’t find fine Israeli kosher & non-kosher wine, check out my post on where to buy Israeli wine.
