That’s also where you’d go to order the official 2021 wine tasting kit, which includes 250-milliliter bottles of 25 featured wines that are kosher for Passover. The kit, which is $250, also includes a tasting guide and, if you’d like to cook along with the chefs, recipe cards and a shopping list.
Look for celebrity chef, restaurateur and James Beard Award winner Michael Solomonov, chef Gabe Garcia of Tierra Sur and Kosher.com personalities. There will be guided wine tastings with Jay Buchsbaum, vice president of marketing and wine education for Royal Wine; Erik Segelbaum, who was Food & Wine Magazine’s 2019 Sommelier of the Year; and wine blogger Gabriel Geller.
