Seder 2026

Each year, as I curate my Seder wine list, I look for the perfect intersection of the practical and the profound. The wines must be “Seder-friendly”—approachable enough for four cups—but they must also be excellent enough to honor the mitzvah and adorn the table.

Usually, I am not makpid (strict) about sourcing exclusively from Israel; my cellar is typically a global map of favorites. But this year, the classic Haggadah question can be framed a little differently: Why is this year different from all other years?

    As good as the Netofa LBV is, do you not think it is far too alcoholic even for the 4th cup? One is likely to end up on the floor!!

    Whilst on the subject of the LBV, is there any difference between the 2014 and this 2016? What about the Netofa Tawny (2012)?

      Well, as I wrote, I’m looking for the extra alcohol at that point. By the time the alcohol hits we are up to Nirtzah and all of the singing – and the extra alcohol just makes it that more fun.
      In terms of the vintages for the LBV, the 2014 and 2016 are near identical – I think I might prefer the 2014 slightly but you are not going wrong with either bottle. The Tawny’s are a different animal altogether and have a wholly different profile (more nutty etc) – and they are a lot more expensive.
