It's not your bubbe's Manischewistz.
Our seder guests brought over a bottle of 2008 Galil Mountian Chardonnay, and it was a lovely match with our roast turkey. Fresh, lively and bright with lots of crisp fruit tempered by hint creamy butter. And yes, it's kosher for Passover. As for as what that entails, really, the wine making process is not significantly different (rabbinic supervision, yeast strain that doesn't come in contact with anything leavened for Passover wines, vines of a certain minimum age, etc.) hence, there's no technical reason you wouldn't get a fabulous wine. This one proves it.
My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)
