The Jewish holiday of Passover is right around the corner and wine is a central and indispensable item at any Passover seder table. During the first two nights of the holiday, no one can opt out of drinking it, which means that you need it...and a lot of it. As you read this, the JJ Buckley buying team is on a tour of Bordeaux, so we thought it very fitting to feature a selection of Kosher wines that many of you probably never knew existed from the region.

For those of you who may not be celebrating this Passover holiday yourselves but have been invited to a seder, one of the best items to bring along would be a bottle of Kosher wine. There is a good chance that your hosts will have not had the opportunity to try most of the wines featured here, so any one of them would be a great choice to bring some wine of quality to the table.

Along with a couple of Sauternes and a Chassagne Montrachet, there is a great selection of hard to find Kosher Bordeaux, including the Kosher versions of some of the most famous chateaux including Leoville Poyferre, Pontet-Canet, and even Valandraud. Jean-Luc Thunevin of Chateau Valandraud is one of the pioneers of the garagiste movement in France and decided a few years ago to produce a special run of kosher wine at his chateau and it has turned out beautifully. This kind of selection of kosher Bordeaux wines are not prevalent on the 'net (especially in Northern California), as these wines are hard to come by.

But no seder would be complete without wine from Israel, and what wine would be better than one from arguably Israel's best winery - Domaine du Castel? After receiving great scores in the recent Israeli wine review in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Domaine du Castel has emerged as Israel's premier winery and their Bordeaux style wine Petit du Castel would serve as a great comparison to it's French counterparts.
