Time to pick a designated driver: More than 300 kosher wines and spirits will be on hand for sampling at this year’s Kosher Food & Wine Experience, the annual extravaganza hosted by distributor Royal Wine.

Among wines making their debut at KWFE 2017, February 13 at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, are Terra di Seta Assai, the first kosher Gran Selezione Chianti ever to be produced, and Herzog’s limited-edition Generation VIII Cabernet Sauvignon Padis Vineyard Napa Valley 2014.
You can use the wine to wash down the kosher BBQ, sushi, Asian-fusion fare and desserts that will be on offer. (Always a good idea to get a little food in your stomach before the drinking commences.)

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
