This year, Hanukkah begins early, marked by sunset on Wednesday, December 1, 2010. Hanukkah is known as the "Festival of Lights", commemorating Israel's freedom from the oppressive Syrian-Greek rule and the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem...It?s customary to eat deep-fried foods to celebrate the miracle of Hanukkah, in which a cruse of oil lasted for eight days instead of one. I can?t swear to this, but I'd guess a lot of American Jews, myself included, love the fact that while goyim only have one day of presents, we get ?8 crazy nights?, as Adam Sandler says in his first Hanukkah song.
Pairing wine with anything fried can be difficult. Fried foods need acidic wines to cut the fat. Here are 8 of my Hanukkah menu specific and ?fried food friendly? kosher wines, one for each night...
