By Gregory Aubrey
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur might be behind us, but yes - it’s already time to start planning for Sukkot! Just when you thought you couldn’t handle any more Yom-Tov meals, here comes another chance of eating to your heart’s content with the ones you love. And that’s where we come in, because what’s a great meal without fantastic wine to drink it with?
We’ve put together 10 wines you should think about drinking for Sukkot this year - including one special large format bottle to open for special guests or Simcha Torah. While times might be a little different this year, your wines should always remain the best. As you embrace the outdoors and celebrate Sukkot and harvest season, make sure to have a few glasses (or bottles) of wine throughout to make it special.
L'Chaim Under The Moon
Segal Petit Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
As you enjoy succulent foods under the Sukkah and the air starts to get a little chilly, empty your Kiddush wine and opt for the finer choice in wine, like the Segal Petit Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon 2017. This complex and elegant wine is packed with rich aromas of dark red berries and hints of fresh mint and tobacco. Left unfiltered, the wine expresses its unique characteristics and flavor that will be a delight in your glass from start to finish.
Judean Hills is known for its quality terroir and powerful, elegant wines. The Castel Petit Castel 2018 lives up to the hype with a wine that, although relatively young, shows tremendous freshness and character, and a wine that will keep evolving and getting better as the night goes on. Make sure to open up the bottle 1 to 2 hours before your meal.
Part of our Micro Wineries Series, the Gito Syrah 2018 is a velvety and robust red wine that will be enjoyed and appreciated by everyone at the table. Its pleasant acidity and freshness will be a perfect pairing with hearty fleishig dishes.
For those who appreciate great wine, there’s no better choice than the Falesco Montiano 2005. This powerful and full-bodied Italian superstar wine is one of the finest Kosher Italian wines ever produced, and one that you’ll definitely enjoy in the Sukkah and will remember for years to come.
A Sky Full of Stars
Pop open some bubbly and bring some sparkle to your Sukkah with our exclusive Paul Briard Champagne. The light citrus and dark berry aromas on the nose are complemented beautifully by its elegant and light palate. The Champagne’s firm structure and pleasant acidity make it the ideal drink of choice to sip and cheer in the Sukkah. Serve chilled.
Look up at the stars and let the warming feel from the wine’s caramel and toffee finish be the perfect ending to your meal and your dessert’s best pairing. The delicate floral and apricot aromas from this dessert wine as well as its full-bodied and long creamy finish will be a delight to your palate. Serve slightly chilled.
Sunny in the Sukkah
Don’t believe the rumors, it’s still perfectly OK (and encouraged) to drink rose in the Fall, especially under the sun in the Sukkah! The refreshing and aromatic Gito Rose is a great bottle to open up and drink at lunchtime with your family and friends when the sun comes out. Serve chilled.
There’s a reason why this wine is our best-selling Gewurztraminer. This semi-dry white wine is bursting with tropical fruit, peach, and lychee aromas on the nose and palate, with a honey and mineral-driven finish that pairs perfectly with white meats, grilled fish, or cheese. Serve chilled.
A blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon Blanc, the Camellia is an elegant and powerful white wine from Flam that showcases complexity and depth both in its floral and citrus flavor profile and its buttery texture from the oak. You’ll love and appreciate this wine more and more as the flavors keep blossoming in your glass as time goes on. Serve chilled.
Share the Simcha
Impress the crowd and celebrate Sukkot in style with this stellar Yatir Forest 2017 Magnum. This world-renown wine in large format is meant to be enjoyed and opened to share with everyone in your Sukkah. Open 2 to 3 hours prior to serving for optimal drinking.
