The Jewish tradition of Passover and the Christian celebration of Easter always fall within close proximity of each other, but this year, the first night of Passover begins Friday and Easter Sunday is just a couple of days behind it. And while both of these holidays have significant meaning in their respective religious histories, I have noticed that the celebrations themselves have one thing in common; copious amounts of food. Like any important gathering that involves family, friends and food, wine plays an important role, providing a grace note to both the meal and the festive nature of the evening, so the wine you pour for your particular celebration should be as joyous as the occasion itself. Here are a few recommendations to help get your evening off to a great start. Retail prices are approximate.
