Auction of Fine and Rare Vintage Kosher Wines - 9/22/11
The first ever major auction of Fine and Rare Vintage Kosher Wines is scheduled to take place in New York City at the Roger Smith Hotel, Penthouse and Solarium on Thursday September 22, 2011 at 7:00 PM. It will be conducted by Kestenbaum & Company, Auctioneers of Rare Books Manuscripts and Fine Art. A catalog of the wine auction can be viewed at: www.Kestenbaum.net

The event has been ably organized by Dan Rabinowitz (Wine Director) with the expert assistance of David Pollack and Gary Landsman on behalf of Skyview Wines.
This is a historic opportunity to access 127 lots of wines and vintages that are simply no longer available at your local wine merchant if they ever were. It has been said that kosher wine has arrived with many now considered to be “world class” and perhaps this is just another example of that confirmation.

Who would have thought as little as a decade ago that leading wine authorities would now remark about kosher wines in the most complimentary terms like:

• “No-one should avoid wines simply because they have kosher certification. It seems generally irrelevant.” Wine Advocate

The catalog includes French wines from the legendary 2000 vintage. You will also find superb wines from Spain, Israel, and California. Wines will be offered in the standard 750 ml bottle sizes as well the rarer Magnum (1.5 liter), Double Magnum (3.0 liter) and even Methusaleh (6.0 liter) bottles. There are vertical collections of sequential vintages. The auction will be preceded with a wine tasting, by reservation.

It promises to be a remarkable event.
