Kosher wines

[quietann]

So, what are peoples' favorite Kosher wines? I was very pleased to find things other than the "sweet stuff" that various relatives had around when I was a kid.

Right now I am very pleased with Yarden's Mt. Hermon Red, which is a blend of their leftover reds. It retails for $10-11, much less than the other Yarden wines. There is a liquor shop owned by a Jew in my town, and he said that at his PAssover wine tasting, this wine held its own against much more expensive ones.

I don't think my favorite would help. *grin* I like the cheap sweet ones. I like ther really expensive sweet ones too, but they're harder to find.

I love the Baron Hertzog label. Frell, I can't remember the other one I like.

Teal Lake from Australia and Alfasi from Chile are worth checking out.
They're both imported by Kedem, so any shop with a kosher wine section should have them. Oh, and watch out for anything marked "mevushal"; to make it kosher, it's boiled rather than prepared by jews on kosher equipment... not that I personally care about the kosher part really, but pasteurized wine has a noticeably different taste.

I can't stand the sweetened stuff either; I actually avoided wine for many years after leaving home because I thought that's all it was!
