To fully appreciate great wine you must also have great food and here is just what you need.
The spring issue of Joy's on-line magazine Reform Judaism has a great article by acclaimed cooking instructor Tina Wasserman titled The Wine Lover’s Passover Meal . The article features versions of classic passover dishes with a new twist including Traditional Charoset, Texas-Style, Beef Borscht with Wine, Nirvana Chicken, Poached Salmon in a Court Bouillon and more. Tina add's a "tidbit" to each recipe which make this article all you need to create an extrodinary Passover feast. Check out Tina's Website Cooking and More.

As I wrote last year, April 2006, Kosher wines have evolved from a liquid you would sip out of obligation to the ceremony to fine world class wines.
Ask Rudy Polack, of Boca Raton, he will certify my words.
Rudy, my father-in-law, was a partner in Baker Brands one of the last great New York City food manufacturers at 431 East 91st Street. Now Eli Zabar's Vinegar Factory the site was the location for production of some of the world's freshest and finest mustards and vinegars.
He and I share wine notes and observations.
Things to do, places to see, with food and booze
It's quite amazing the selection of kosher wines these days, I'm not Jewish but if I was I would be happy to see the selection growing year after year.
