We got an email today from one of our favorite wine purveyors, and it listed probably one of the most expensive kosher wines we have ever seen! What could make a bottle of kosher wine so expensive, we wondered. Well, we will just have to take their word for it. It is definitely out of Continue Reading »

It was totally beyond anything we had ever tasted. It was Continue Reading »
