We spoke with Ami Nahari , the CEO of The River,onJune 5th on our internet radio show. We’ve tasted a selection of the wines he imports, at various tastings around the city, and both SYR and I found them all superb, without exceptions. We are pleased that he will be presenting an evening of food, perfectly paired with wine:
Knowing Ami, having tasted his wines, I can tell you that if he offers an evening of food and wine, it is well worth the $75.00 price. Even the general admission price of $45.00 where the specialty vintages are not offered is still more than fair, it is an incredible bargain for an opportunity to taste superb potables and delectable foods.
Why not take advantage of this special promotion price? I will be there, hope to see you all, come on over and say hello!
On March 4th, Costas Mouzouras and his staff from Gotham Wines & Liquors (2517 Broadway; New York, NY 10025 – Tel: 212.932.0990) held their 9th Annual Kosher Wine Extravaganza, featuring 300 wines and liquors, at the West End Institutional Synagogue in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Shiki Rauchberger, Chief Winemaker for Teperberg 1870 Winery, started the private tasting, he introduced us to several selections which are already on the market and some which will not be available until shortly before Passover 2013.
Shiki Rauchberhger - Teperberg 1870
There were some very interesting wines, Shiki selected, wines that clearly showed why Teperberg 1870 is one of Israel’s top wineries.

Costas followed Shiki‘s presentation with his own. He demonstrated new wines and old favorites (we will write about them…), he also gave us some very interesting pointers on how to appreciate wine.
We then proceeded upstairs to the general admission area where we met old friends, made new ones, tasted superb wines from all over the world, as well as a great selection of cheeses from Anderson International Foods and some delicious chocolates fromChocolate Works NY. In the center there was a table laden with dips, salads and crackers as large tables laden with wines circled the room.
This is the third extravaganza presented by Gotham Wines that we attended, and frankly, they keep getting better and better!
Please tune as in this evening at 8:00 pm (Eastern Standard) on BlogTalkRadio.com for a special pre-taped show with Costas Mouzouras, winemakers, food purveyors, and more. Listen in to learn about the latest wines for this Passover.
