For years, our blogs have been a labor of love—and a labor of significant expense. When we started our blogs, the goal was simple: provide honest, unfiltered, and technically rigorous reviews of kosher wine. Each of us wanted to help you find the “WINNERS” and avoid the “wastes of glass.”
But the world of kosher wine has changed. Prices have spiked 15–25% in the last year alone. The cost of traveling around the world (Paris, Spain, London, Italy, New York, California, Israel) to taste the new vintages at the source—staying in hotels, paying for shipping, and buying the bottles that wineries won’t send—has reached a point where a hobbyist model is no longer sustainable. Every year, we spend between $20,000 and $30,000 on wine, travel, and logistics – up until now, entirely out of our own pockets.
To keep this work alive, independent, and truly useful, we are evolving. This isn’t just a blog anymore; it is the foundation of a powerful resource, with a database to boot!
