March 20, 2010 Recommended Kosher wines
“Today’s recommended wines are first and foremost food-friendly. In general, the overall quality of the kosher wine we tasted is better and more consistent than our last look two years ago. Though well-established Israeli brands were generally available, it was tougher to find French, Chilean, Spanish and New Zealand kosher wines this time.”
I didn’t know about the “U”, “K” or “P” labelling protocol. That’s really interesting.
“The label will carry the certifying organization’s symbol, often a circled “U” or “K.” In addition, wines labeled as kosher for Passover also carry a P to the right of the circled symbol.”

October 23, 2009 Recommended Oregon Pinots
The Chronicle has done its annual review of Oregon Pinots. I normally like to write my own precis of the articles I link to but the Chronicle’s own is so good I’ve just included it.
A coda: After the trials of 2007, Oregon received a Pinot bounty last year. The initial 2008s we encountered were brimming with pretty fruit. If the ’07s are an uneven lot, a new crop of excellent Pinots should soon be winding their way down Interstate 5.
However to get their recommendations you have to read more: <link>
