   I’m amazed you can so well remember the tastes of 3 different wines almost a week after drinking them… How do you do it?

   I’m glad you enjoyed the French wine – somewhat 😉

   If you want to try out some top-of-the-notch French wines, take a look at http://www.oenoj.com/english/pages/oenoj.html and let me know: I’ll be in France in November.

      Hello Raphael!

      I love French wine – the Vouvray is also French. That said, the negotiant of the wine you very kindly brought, was great a few years ago, but now it is tired. I had another bottle of his to start Rosh hashanah and it too was tired. The negotiant you asked me about – oenoj, seems to be dead on. The prices are a bit high, but his wines are focused and not all over the place. Further he is starting with a manageable set of wines that he can hopefully sell. Truly the biggest issue now for Kosher Wine is making sure that your wines are top notch and not too expensive, as there is an actual glut of kosher wine on the market which is too expensive and not truly special. Even too expensive and special is not selling that well. The real sweet spot is average to above average and less than 10 dollars or solid and less tan 30. Once you go above that it is a hard sell.

      Thanks again – it was great seeing you both!
      David
