Gamla Sauvignon Blanc

From a Golan Heights winery that since 1983 has placed Israel firmly on the international wine map. The Sauvignon blanc is crisp and grassy and exudes aromas of bright grapefruit mingling with tropical fruit and traces of flowers. Pair with: gefilte fish and matzoh balls

Mardi Gras in Mobile

Baron Herzog Chardonnay 2005

Take one sniff of this Chardonnay and find pears, apples and chamomile. Sip and your mouth awakens to tangy citrus. Bright acidity and full body lends this wine to full-flavored Passover dishes. Pair with: brisket and chicken

Hagafen Chardonnay

The kosher Napa Valley wines from former Domain Chandon vineyard manager Ernie Weir have been served at the White House for 25 years. Weir?s well-structured Chardonnay offers green apple, citrus and honeysuckle scents, fruit flavors tinged with oak -- and a finish as long as Grandpa?s seder. Pair with: chicken

Weinstock Cellar Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

A full bodied Cab with rich blackberry, anise and oak flavors that come from late harvesting. Soft tannins and mouth feel make it a good match for hearty meat dishes. Pair with: roast chicken and lamb

Domaine du Castel Petit Castel 2004

Considered the 'Chateau Margaux of Israel,' this elegant, medium-bodied cab/merlot blend comes from a family-owned winery in the Judean Hills. Enjoy its nose of berries, chocolate and hints of cedar, its flavor of dark red fruit with pepper and its soft tannins and round finish. Pair with: brisket and lamb
