Wines for the Easter or Passover Table

If you're still getting your wines together for Easter and Passover, there are plenty of affordable and tasty NEW choices on the market. Plus some tried and true favorites.
The Kosher wine industry continues to grow and there are plenty of wineries right here in the USA, along with countries around the world offering much more than your Grandfather's Mogen-David.
Jeunesse Pink Moscato-lightly pink and softly sweet California offering.
The Tribe White-dry, fruity Chardonnay from Dry Creek Valley in California.
Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon-Paso Robles region dry red brimming with notes of black cherry.
Carmel Ridge Red-Gorgeous, elegant, dry red blend of Carignan, Petite Syrah, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from Israel.
Easter menus that include ham or lamb will love these tasty affordable finds. And if you are serving brunch, don't miss this terrific sparkler from California.
Barefoot Wines Sparkling Pinot Grigio-light, crisp, semi dry with notes of citrus. Blend it with OJ for a HOPPY Easter morning beverage.
Apothic White-off dry blend of pinot grigio, chardonnay and riesling will please just about any palate and item on the table whether its pineapple glazed ham, baked sweet potatoes or grilled asparagus.
Gascon Malbec-Big, juicy Argentinian red that will add depth and flavor to your ham, lamb or beef. It's also terrific with chocolate in case the Easter Bunny fills your basket with dark or milk chocolate treats.
