8 delicious Kosher wines to celebrate each night of Hanukkah

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.

The Promiscuous Pinot Noir: the family tree of Austria?s red grapes

Rumor has is that one day, a long, long time ago, the ancient grapes Traminer and Pinot Meunier got together for some fun. Well, one thing led to another and they ended up crossing. Not long after, Pinot Noir showed up.

Pinot Noir had a good enough relationship with one of its parents, Pinot Meunier, spending a great deal in Champagne together, but something was missing. Pinot Noir feeling rejected and ignored by Traminer, the parent it rarely, if ever, saw, the spicy Pinot Noir took off in its see-through red dress to ensure its own lineage.

Well, Pinot Noir traveled far and wide, finding grapes to cross with wherever it went ? sometimes it didn?t even know the other grape?s name. Ultimately, its travels spawned all sorts of offspring, though none could ever be as fickle as the neurotic Pinot Noir...
