Kosher Wine Club
Due to holiday fun, I am just now digging through my notes from our last wine club that was a week before Christmas. Robin y Josh were wanting to have a holiday party and I was looking to drink some wine, so we combined the two into Kosher Wine Club.



It was a great little party and Josh made latkes and we all wore fun holiday glasses that made dreidels appear everywhere. The wines, surprisingly, were nice.
No, really.

Side note: if you want some info on what makes wine Kosher, wikipedia (naturally) has a great overview.
It's all about the wine being pasteurized.

Across the board all the wines were pleasant enough (with the exception of a real cloyingly sweet Riesling). I thought many of these wines would be perfect for dinners with grandma or when there are people who aren't big wine fans.
Pleasant. That's the word.



Here's what we liked...
