I work in a wine cellar and although I'm not Jewish I enjoy helping many people pick out kosher wines for passover and for other various Jewish holidays. The selection and quality of the wines is growing all the time!

My family went to the new store in Boca Florida, Corks Kosher Wine Emporium. We bought what we needed. Money is tight (for most people) and the ads showed amazing prices. Two weeks later we returned and the prices went up almost $5/bottle from the last time. They have to pay for that fancy decorating some how. Turns out Corks is also Kosher Marketplace. Have you seen the prices there? I know Boca is richer than most areas but has the orthodox lost their mind? I'd rather travel to Kosher KIngdom. I know they aren't trying to rob me blind.

"We are often asked if the mevushal process harms the wine. In our tastings through the years, we haven't found a consistent difference in taste between mevushal and nonmevushal kosher wines. The Goose Bay Pinot was mevushal. In this tasting, about a third of our sample and about a third of our favorites were mevushal." one point about the WSJ article was that they could find no difference between mevushal and non mevushal.
