Hanukkah

The bright eight day Jewish festival of Light, Hanukkah, is almost here. Starting this year on Dec, 6 it commemorate the triumph of light over darkness and spirit over material. Each night of the long festival Jewish people light a candle on a special nine-branched menorah candelabrum and sing holiday songs or play games while watching them burn. Other Hanukkah traditions include spending time with dear ones and sharing Hanukkah gifts with family, friends, and business associates.

Gourmet & Wine Gifts

Because of the great significance of oil in the history of the holiday it is customary to eat oily foods. Special potato pancakes, jelly doughnuts and many other dishes fried in oil are particularly enjoyed during Hanukkah. An excellent pairing for classic holiday dishes is wine. From light soft burgundy wines full of creamy fruit flavors with fresh acidity and dry white wines with delicate sourness that balances the taste and a pleasant finish, to full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon there’re plenty of choices to choose from.
