Note: I am embarrassed at how late this post is. It was 95% complete by mid-June. I just never got around to finishing and editing due to my work schedule and of course the ongoing situation here, which as I have noted, does not leave me in the headspace for writing. But as I have … Continue reading France – May 2024 – Part 3 – Hotel Wines

France – May 2024 – Part 2 – IDS
As I mentioned in my last post, until now I had only come to France once a year in November on a dedicated tasting trip, while my friend David of Kosher Wine Musings had come a second time in May. The IDS visit is a perfect example as to why I also needed to come … Continue reading France – May 2024 – Part 2 – IDS

France Trip 2022 – Part 2 – Royal

It’s not just that he’s a consummate professional, managing dozens of productions at … Continue reading France Trip 2022 – Part 2 – Royal

David Raccah of Kosherwinemusings.com arranged his schedule to overlap with mine so we could do a couple of tastings together. … Continue reading M & M Importers Current Lineup is Exceptional
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
