TELL US SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW

From Long Island Newsday, comes this story about Kosher wine. It really doesn”t say anything that hasn’t been said in at least four hundred other newspapers, but, still, it’s always nice to read about Kosher wines.

Not your father’s kosher wine

Kosher wine, once a shelf of inky and sweet Concords, now is best represented by dry reds and whites from around the world.

From Australia, consider the soft, fruity 2004 Teal Lake Chardonnay, a good choice to pair with chicken and fish. It’s about $13.

Italy is the source for the tasty and uncomplicated 2002 Bartenura Pinot Grigio. About $11. The respectable Bartenura Soave and Valpolicella are about $8 each.

Some fine Bordeaux producers make kosher wine. Consider the 2001 Chateau Leoville-Poyferre, for about $75; and the 2001 Chateau Giscours, about $50. The 2000 Chateau Malmaison is about $38.

You also can rely on the wines of Abarbanel, Recanati, Hagafen, Baron Herzog, Tishbi, Yarden, Roberto Cohen, Barons Edmond et Benjamin de Rothschild and Barkan Wine Cellars. First-rate producers of kosher sparkling wine include Laurent-Perrier, Pommery and Heidsieck.
