Our home

This past weekend, we had some friends over for Passover Seder. We don't go crazy but we do go thru a short Haggaddah service and then have dinner. We are vegetarians so the food is pretty much kosher by default. We serve (with one exception) kosher for Passover wines. We had 3 other couples join us (1 jewish, 2 "goys") to celebrate with us. While the wines are far from the star of the show, it is fun to enjoy them. All of the wines served this year were under $30 and all very respectable.
For the Seder we used the 2016 Domaine Du Castel Jerusalem - Haute Judee La Vie. I hope Elijah appreciated it.

I know its supposed to be Next year in Jerusalem, but I will be very content if it can be next year in our home again with fun wines, good food, with great friends, and maybe some family.

Nice enough for a Kosher for Passover Sparkler. Overpriced in my market at $20. Still, it was a nice start to the evening before we actually sat down for the Seder. Light gold in color. The nose has some minerality. Just a perception of sweetness on the palate. Nice froth. Minerals. Decent balance. Easy.
