[Updated April 2009]

Ever walked through a wine section at the local store? Ever try to have a look around one of the “higher-end” purveyors of the fruit of the vine? The mere prospect of such an endeavor is enough to make you curl up in the fetal position, rock back-and-forth, and whimper for mommy. Perhaps you’ve decided to spare yourself the anguish and purchase a Wine Spectator or Wine Enthusiast publication to help you make a more informed decision. You choose the 90+ rated wine … and you hate it. What to do?

Enter Gary Vaynerchuk.

Gary hosts Wine Library TV (here). His style is second to none in wine tasting and analysis. To get a feel for how he has developed his palate to analyze wine, view Gary as a guest on Conan O’Brien’s show first:

Every time I go to my local Kosher wine store, I look specifically for those wines that Gary has tasted and rated. Even if they rate poorly, I’m always curious to compare my palate with Gary’s notes. Fortunately for those of us who drink only Kosher wine, what follows is a list of episodes that either feature or taste at least one Kosher wine.

Thank you so much Gary – you are TRULY changing the wine world, whether they like it or not!

One of my personal favorites in the world of great personalities, Gary Vaynerchuk, has just posted a show reviewing more Kosher wines. You might remember in a previous post here that I listed all reviews on The Thunder Show that covered Kosher wines. This time Gary sits down with one of the most renowned reviewers of Kosher wines, Daniel Rogov.

Interestingly, many do not know what is different between Kosher and non-Kosher wines. Below is an appearance of Tovia Singer (one of my most favorite Rabbis in the world) on the television show “Passages”. Rabbi Singer has appeared on “Passages” before in a polemical debate, but this time takes a pause to discuss Kosher wines. Have a look – I think you’ll find it enlightening.
