20091211 Spanish Kosher Wine for Hanukkah


20091211. After sundown, it was Hanukkah, the Jewish holiday that takes place at about winter solstice. After supper, we chose this wine from Spain we had as our Wine Du Jour for our evening wine. By sheer coincidence, it was a kosher wine, blessed by the Rabbinate of Israel itself! I say coincidence, because I dint even know it was Hanukkah!
The label says
"Terroso Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Kasher pour la Pâque et toute l'année. Kasher sous la supervision du rabbinat principal d'Israel."
Translation:
"Terroso Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Kosher for Easter and all year round. Kosher under the supervision of the principal Rabbinate of Israel."
The wine was good, but it did have a lot of sediment in the bottom.
I learned it was Hanukkah only during our evening movie. And by another coincidence, that movie was Downfall, a German production about the last days of Adolf Hitler in his bunker in Berlin.
