Our next organized tasting was at IDS, which really needs no introduction from me. They are responsible for some of the very best kosher wines ever produced. They are a permanent stop whenever I am in France. Unfortunately, the problem is that David (of the Kosher Wine Musings blog) tastes in France at least twice … Continue reading France – November 2023 – Part 2 – IDS

Catching up on Burgundy – Domaine de Montille, le Hardi and other high-end kosher burgundies on the market
I got a lot of feedback after my last post, much of it prompting me to write more and not less during this difficult time. One reason I was presented was “Live life or the terrorists win.” That reason alone wasn’t really enough for me.

An Evening with M & M Importers

Besides being the US importer for IDS wines, they also have imported a number of French kosher productions on their own. Even more impressive, they have begun contracting their own kosher … Continue reading An Evening with M & M Importers
