Fri Mar 18 12:03:35 -0800 2005 0 velorutionary 1 1440562 There is a red dry South African kosher wine recently available in the US called Klein Drakkon (which is actually Afrikans, NOT Yiddish for little dragon.) It is high in alchohol without tasting overly "boozy." Goes very well with food and is very festive tasting. It is under the Vaad of Cape-Town, South Africa, which according to the Star-K is an acceptable hechshor, at least as far as wine is concerned. (It is the policy of the Star-K to never give blanket acceptance to hechsharim.)

(non mevushal) Fri Mar 18 13:02:16 -0800 2005 1440561 0 Kugelkid 2 1440568 I believe this is the rioja we ordered through our synagogue last year for the seder, and it was very good. Thank you. Fri Mar 18 14:50:43 -0800 2005 1440564 0 Bride of the Juggler 1 1440565 Terras del Belmonte (Portugese). Only kosher Portugese wine out there. Imported by Abarbanel. It's a blend of 5 grapes. Great for drinking alone or with food. Even non-wine drinkers will enjoy it because it's not bone dry. Fri Mar 18 13:23:57 -0800 2005 1440561 0 AndeB 1 1440584 Hagefen Pinot Noir. really Great!
