With April right around the corner we have started to think about the Easter and Passover celebrations we will be having with family and friends. Naturally, there must be wine involved. So, we thought we'd take the opportunity to share with you some options that would go perfectly with your Easter Sunday or Passover Seder dinners.

Easter Recommendations:
Domaine la Garrigue Vacqueyras - A Rhone blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault, this wine is full of wild berry and bright black fruit flavors with a touch of fresh herbs. For those of us who take part in the robust Ham and Lamb feast every Easter, this wine is perfect. ($23.99)

Angeline Sauvignon Blanc - Beautiful, light, and crisp this Sauvignon calls for salmon. If you are having a heart-healthy Easter and choosing fish, this is your wine! The touch of citrus, melon and honeydew flavors work perfectly with salmon steak seasoned with a dash of fresh lemon.($14.99)

Canella Rose Brut - Let's be honest here... we all know what the best part of Easter is - dessert! To sit back with a delicious light cream puff or Easter Egg Shaped Cookie while the kids fill their baskets in the yard is awesome! The only thing that could make it better is a refreshing sparkling Rose made from Pinot Noir full of juicy, strawberry flavors to go along with your treat. You won't even need to add fruit to your cream puff! This is perfect on its own as well. ($16.99)

Giraudon Aligote - A lovely, bright creamy white such as this is great with chicken and the bright spring vegetables with which some of you will impress your relatives. Fresh, clean, ripe and refreshing, having a glass of this may will warm weather to finally come! ($13.99)

3 Trees Pinot Noir - Dark fruit aromas and a touch of vanilla on the palate make this wine supple and complex. With just a little bit of spice, this Australian Pinot Noir can also go with Ham, but would fit gamey dishes such as Cornish hens and rabbit just right. ($15.99)


Kosher, Passover Recommendations:
Teal Lake Cabernet/ Merlot - Dry and round, this Australian blend has cedar notes, spice and wild berry flavors. Its firm taste will work well with thoroughly marbled briskets or slow cooked prime rib roasts. This wine's plumy flavors may be just what you need to make the dish complete. ($14.99)

Recanati Cabernet - Grown in the ancient soil of Israel, this 100% Cabernet is full, smoky and a little spicy. For those of you venturing out to your grill to prepare your Passover feast, this is your wine. Plum and blackberry fruit on the palate only enhance the deep savory flavors of hearty meals.($13.99)

Baron Herzog Chardonnay - Lush and complex, this California Chardonnay has tropical fruit flavors and a hint of vanilla. Try this wine with something more traditional - it compliments Matzah ball soup perfectly. The slightly tangy hints and dry finish in the wine play off the broth exactly as it should. ($15.99)
