A Great Kosher Wine Find

Posted by TimD in kosher wines - (0 Comments)

I enjoy French culture. In my mind no one has tackled the cinema better than the French. I love the music of Air and Serge Gainsbourg. The food is delectable. All those great cheeses and crispy breads. No where have the French done better though than in their wines. When I buy wine online I always check out what is new in the French wines first.

Recently I was browsing Liquors Galore and found a Chareau Malartic Lagraviere Pessac-Leognan on sale for $62.99 a bottle(when you buy twelve). To those who are not well versed in wines this might seem like a steep price but to those in the know this is a classic bottle of wine worth every penny. This particular vineyard is best known for it’s white wines however I have frequently found myself going back to their reds which seem to get better with each bottle I taste.

The kosher wines here have a great taste, this one particularly is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In different years one might over power the other but each year the bite and blend is something worth admiring. It is also something worth ordering as this particular vineyard is not known for making huge runs of their best wines.

Food And Wine Pairings On The Web

Posted by TimD in kosher wines - (0 Comments)

How did people do anything before the internet? I mean, it just seems crazy that people probably spent decades figuring out what kosher wines matched up with what type of food. Surely the process was a grueling one of eating and drinking that eventually ended up killing all those who contributed research. Yet here we are now 2011 and if I am going to eat some fettuccine alfredo, I will just pop over to the old internet box and Google it. The answer that seemed to pop up most often was a Sauvignon Blanc. I tried it and it was perfect!

Some might lament the days when an expert was the only one who could make these sort of pairings, but I relish in the democratization of proper food wine pairings. When I purchase wine online I want to know that I am going to be putting it to good use. With the internet as my guide I know that I am. When I bite into that roast beef in an acidic sauce and sip a nice glass of Chianti, the whole world sort of feels right for a moment.

So do yourself a favor and give a quick web search next time you’re pairing foods and wine. You’ll be thrilled you did. You might even impress someone.

Sangria, A Great Summer Drink

Posted by TimD in kosher wines - (0 Comments)

It is a sunny summer day and your neighborhood is having a block party. It’s hot and you were hoping to enjoy the day with a nice buzz but also you realize the need to stay hydrated. If you are going to balancing out every drink with a cup of water(as you should) then maybe it is best to go for something lighter than a lager. Any beer is going to fill you up and make you feel bloated and sluggish after only a small handful. When it comes to sweaty summer drinking I like to make some sort of a mix drink.

Among my favorites are Sangria. I love getting together a few of my favorite kosher wines and some gin and make a big pitcher for these fun days in the sun. It becomes a neighborhood staple and with that fresh pitcher of Sangria you sort of become the life of the party. It is a great bonus of buying kosher wine online that when we get through batch one I can run right back into my apartment and throw together another. It is the perfect way to make friends and enjoy drinking in the sun without feeling like a swollen gutted oaf.

Purchase Wine Online And Relax

Posted by TimD in kosher wines - (0 Comments)

I love that I purchase wine online because I know for a fact that when I get home from a long day of work there will be a wealth of kosher wines to choose from. I am eagerly anticipating cracking a bottle open and pouring a big glass while I make a light dinner. It’s the sort of pleasure one can only get from a glass of wine after a long day accompanied by food and some sort of entertainment. Maybe I’ll pop on a movie or perhaps see what I have stored up on the old DVR. No matter what I know I’m in for a soothing night.

Look, I used to be the kind of guy that would get myself over to the wine store before they closed and buy a bottle to bring it home but with the option of buying wine online that just seems unwise. This way I am not adding an extra stop between me  and my front door. After such a long day at the office, who needs that hassle? Not me.

Instead I will arrive in my door and be drinking wine before I get my coat off. It’s one of the great pleasures of a well planned modern adult life. I feel lucky, no matter how rough my day was.

Buy Wine Online, For Family

Posted by TimD in kosher wines - (0 Comments)

When we get together at my Aunt Maureen’s house the whole family starts sipping wine. Some of us start full on glugging wine down like a bunch of lunatics. It is good clean family fun. If you cannot let loose around the extended family, who are you supposed to let loose around? Still there are a lot of us and so those bottles of wine start getting emptied fairly quickly.

Generally, after one of these events, to repay my Aunt and to ensure that any pop-ins are not disappointingly wine free, I will order a few bottles of kosher wine online and have them shipped directly to her home. She always sends an appreciative text with something like “You shouldn’t have but I am so glad you did!” written in it. When you buy wine online there is a few things you should make note of. I tend to shop for my Aunt which is good. I know exactly what kinds of wines she likes and what she hates.

I also know that she will appreciate any wine I send her because she is no snob. Still it is especially nice to send her some kosher wines I know she really appreciates. Besides we’ll all just be drinking it at the next event anyway.

Discount Liquors and Alcohol From Around the World

Posted by daniela in discount liquors | kosher wines - (0 Comments)

kosher wineThe average discount liquor store holds kosher wines and discount liquors made in over 100 different countries.

Vodka: Made in Eastern Europe from fermented grain, their alcoholic drink clept them the Vodka Belt, which stretches from the Baltic Sea, to Southeastern Europe and obviously, Russia.

Whiskey: This beverage has many different incarnations, a result from the barley, rye, wheat and maize that comprise it.  How long it is aged in oak casks makes quite a difference in the flavor, smell, and taste. Single malt scotch whiskey is most typically prized by connoisseurs. Today, Great Britain perhaps remains the whiskey capital of the world, but Americans cherish their own type of whiskey, which they call bourbon.

Rum: Made from the sugar cane plant in the Caribbean and tropical areas of South America, rum was a favorite of pirates. Its sweet flavors makes it a great mixer, especially with juice.

Kosher Wines: Good wine climate is sunny and mild with early springs. That is what made the Mediterranean the home of wine during most of the past two millennia. But these days you can find good bottles from California, Australia, Chile, and South Africa, as well as France, Spain and Italy.

Funny how all of humanity drinks. One could say that to enjoy a glass of kosher wine is natural!

Kosher Wines with Dinner

Posted by daniela in kosher wines - (0 Comments)

kosher winesI love Kosher wines. They are so pleasant when you open them up and let them breathe and smell their complex bouquet  before pouring a large hearty glass to go with a piece of steak. The flavors they exude are exquisite. I can’t even imagine what life would be like without Kosher wines. When I think of a fine piece of meat without Kosher wines, it’s like peanut butter without jelly. Batman without Robin. Regis without Kelly. You know what I mean.

I particularly like a nice Merlot: the balanced fruit works with the rich flavor of a piece of steak. Or even a Beaujolais, with pungent berry flavors and an acidic spicy aftertaste. Or the chocolate and vanilla flavors of a woodsy Cabernet Sauvignon. There are so many delicious varieties of red kosher wine, don’t even get me started on the whites.

And after dinner with a nip of the best single malt scotch in the house, I close my eyes and the world goes on around me. Complex peaty single malt scotch whiskey that warms the belly and allows me to live for a thousand years in an instant. Behind me the kids play downstairs, the wife walks around the kitchen. It is true bliss. And I am happy for it.

purchase wine onlineI was born and raised on Long Island, Nassau county to be specific. While we sometimes get a bad “rap”  from the rest of the state, fellow New Yorkers can’t deny some of the great things Long Island has to offer –and that includes our delicious wine. In just a quarter of a century, Long Island has grown from one vineyard to over 3,000 acres of wineries. Just about every winery is in Suffolk county, the east end of the island. They encompass both the North and South forks.

The combination of a maritime climate, Long Island’s geography, and soil make for excellent conditions for producing wine. It is an exciting region in the winery world and many continue to award Long Island for its delicious wine. New York is the third largest wine producing region in America and every year, more than 1 million people come to visit the beautiful wineries of Long Island. Varietals include, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Shiraz.

The first winery was opened in 1975 and today there are 56 wineries on the island. If you’re in New York, come see what all the talk is about and visit the east end of Long Island. Until then, you can buy wine online from this great region!

Delicious Kosher Wine Cocktails

Posted by KristenM in kosher wines - (0 Comments)

kosher winesKosher wines taste delicious on their own, but they also taste just as good when you mix them with juice and other liquor. Next time your about to pour yourself a glass, try one of these wine cocktail recipes instead. It’s good to change up your routine, especially when it comes to food and drinks!

  • Sangria: This fruit based wine punch was developed in Spain and is a must-have for brunches and at Hispanic restaurants. Pour a bottle of red wine into a pitcher and squeeze in the juice from 1 lemon and 1 orange cut into wedges. Then toss the wedges in. Add 2 tbsp. of sugar and 1 shot of brandy. Chill overnight and add in 1 cup of ginger ale or club soda.
  • Bellini: The perfect drink for brunch, besides a Bloody Mary. It’s incredibly easy to make. Pour 2 ounces of peach juice into a glass and then slowly pour in 4 ounces of your favorite bottle of champagne. If you like the taste of orange juice instead, make a Mimosa!
  • Kir: Another simple recipe, this one comes from France. There are several variations but the basic recipe calls for 1/4 ounce creme de cassis and 2 and 1/4 ounces of dry white wine. Pour the creme de cassis into a wine glass and slowly add the kosher wine.

Kosher Wines: Riesling

Posted by KristenM in kosher wines - (0 Comments)

kosher winesToday I’d like to talk about my favorite type of wine, Riesling. Riesling is a white wine that has its origins in Germany, specifically the Rhein and Mosel river valleys. Today, most Riesling wines still come from Germany and also Oregon because the grapes used do best in cooler climates. However, with its recent growth in popularity, countries such as France, Australia, Ukraine, New Zealand, Austria, and China are all producing Rieslings.  Rieslings come in a variety of different styles, they can be sweet, dry, fruity, full-bodied, or light-bodied.

Scents that are usually present in the wine are apples, pears, peaches, and honey. These same citrus flavors will also be present when you drink the wine. The reason that these flavors are the most dominate is because a Riesling is not aged as long as other wines. One of the great aspects about this wine is that it goes well with such a wide variety of foods. You can drink the wine with poultry, fish, pork, and desserts. It goes quite well with spicy Asian, Moroccan, and Mexican foods.

If you’re interested in kosher liquor or kosher wines, Liquors Galore has plenty to choose from, Rieslings included.
