Our Experience: Having attended previous Kosher Food & Wine Experience events in NY/NJ, let me just say this: it’s not your average wine-tasting gig. Last year, as I walked into the glittering ballroom, the sheer aroma of perfectly spiced kosher food hit me like a warm hug from a long-lost friend. From crispy duck cigars to creamy risotto that danced on my taste buds, the cuisine alone was worth the ticket price.

And don’t even get me started on the kosher wine—it wasn’t just a tasting, it was a revelation. Each sip told a story, from a bold Israeli cabernet that reminded me of hiking through Galilee to a delicate French rosé that brought to mind picnics in Provence (if Provence had kosher picnics, of course). Curious about kosher wines? Check out this guide to kosher wine basics here.
I still remember meeting a fellow foodie who compared one of the sparkling wines to “a celebration in a glass.” And she wasn’t wrong! It bubbled with so much life that it practically made me want to toast to everything—to friends, to family, to finally finding parking in Manhattan earlier that day.

But let’s be real—not everything’s perfect. For instance, last year’s event did have some lines for the more popular wine stations. A friend quipped that the wait was almost as long as the line for a New York bagel on a Sunday morning. But hey, good things come to those who wait, and the payoff? A Malbec so smooth and velvety, I’m still dreaming about it.
Another minor gripe: with so much kosher food and wine to try, it’s nearly impossible to taste everything in one evening. But isn’t that the best kind of problem to have? It just means you need a game plan—and maybe some stretchy pants.
