Jewish winemakers

Over the last 2,000 years, Jewish winemakers have struggled to overcome enormous challenges. Much of that time was spent in the Diaspora, a period of exile that frequently brought Jews to lands not blessed with vineyards such as they had previously known. But tradition mandated the drinking of wine, and vintners were forced to do their best with what they had at their disposal.

Beaujolais is a French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée

Beaujolais is a French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) wine generally made of the Gamay grape which has a thin skin and is low in tannins. Like most AOC wines they are not labeled varietally. Whites from the region, which make up only 1% of its production, are made mostly with Chardonnay grapes though Aligoté is also permitted. Beaujolais tends to be a very light-bodied red wine, with relatively high amounts of acidity. In some vintages, Beaujolais produces more wine than the Burgundy wine regions of Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais put together.

The wine takes its name from the historical Beaujolais province and wine producing region. It is located north of Lyon, and covers parts of the north of the Rhône département (Rhône-Alpes) and parts of the south of the Saône-et-Loire département (Burgundy). While administratively considered part of the Burgundy wine region, the climate is closer to the Rhône and the wine is unique enough to be considered separately from Burgundy and Rhône. The region is known internationally for its long tradition of winemaking, uniquely emphasized the use of carbonic maceration, and more recently for the popular Beaujolais nouveau.

Abarbanel

Abarbanel wines are produced by the Abarbanel Family- the world's oldest Jewish family, tracing it's heritage to ancient Israel and most notably to Don Isaac Abarbanel, the renowned Torah commentator and last and greatest leader of Spanish Jewry before the expulsion in 1492.

Kosher Wines from Italy

Founded more than 20 years ago by the Cosmo family, the Bellenda Winery has emerged as one of Italy’s top producers of quality Sparkling wines. Located North of Venice in the Vittoria Veneto region of Northeast Italy, the Cosmo family have been growing their own grapes for generations in the foothills of the Alps at an elevation of about 300 meters. The wine is made from Prosecco grapes grown on the hillsides of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. Unlike most Proseccos which undergo one and a half months of initial fermentation in stainless steel tanks, this kosher production spent nine months in tanks resting on their lees yielding a much toastier, fruitier palate. This smooth, delicate and highly refined sparkling wine has a characteristically fruity, floral bouquet and displays an abundance of evanescent bubbles against a luminous, brilliant backdrop. It is excellent as an aperitif, but also works very well as an accompaniment to poultry, light, white fish dishes, pastries and fruit-based desserts.
