Fine Wine?


Mizrach Wine, Hutchinson Island, Florida, USA
Marc found this bottle in the liquor cabinet while preparing for Pesach 5754 (Passover 1994). This bottle was being kept for a special occasion. As the label clearly shows that it was imported from Palestine, the wine had been bottled in 1948 or earlier.

Through the birth of children, Bar and Bat Mitzvot, weddings, and other celebrations, this bottle sat waiting to be found. Finally discovered again, it was thought that the family could celebrate the naming of Marc's niece with this wine. After uncorking the bottle, we all felt better admiring the wine instead of drinking it. So while we didn't drink from bottle, its discovery still brought the intended joy to the celebration.
