Rabbi Shlomo Itzhaki, commonly known by the acronym Rashi, was a French Rabbi in the eleventh century when he wrote a comprehensive commentary on both the Talmud and the Tanakh. In addition to writing the quintessential Talmud commentary, included in every printing since the original pressing in the sixteenth century, Rashi is believed to have been a vintner, keeping pristine vineyards, producing his own wine and possibly selling it as well. Today, he lends his name to Rashi Wine, an Italian based kosher winery with additional production in New York and California. These wines are perfect for a large kiddush at your shabbos table, or if your just in the mood for something light and sweet.
