I had to ask if this is a real description and Ryan said, "oh, yeah" and was able to tell me at least three wines that it is a good descriptor for. It still baffles me most of the time.

Though, <A HREF="http://www.bettycrocker.com/products/bacos/" REL="nofollow">bacos</A> are Kosher, so just the smell of bacon isn't off limits :-).<BR/><BR/>On a more serious note - in this case, the wine wasn't marked Kosher, so for a significant number of Jews it would be considered non-Kosher. Other Jews probably would think it's OK.<BR/><BR/>What can I say, it's confusing :-)Ben Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833753747177544979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-29234848904378171542009-01-18T01:21:00.000-05:002009-01-18T01:21:00.000-05:00So does that mean the wine isn't kosher? :-PSo does that mean the wine isn't kosher? :-POddityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16019441151086055174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-11019670065844457822009-01-17T20:52:00.000-05:002009-01-17T20:52:00.000-05:00Jordan -Thanks for both tips!That's what I get for...Jordan -<BR/><BR/>Thanks for both tips!<BR/><BR/>That's what I get for posting from my cell in a hurry.<BR/><BR/>-BenBen Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833753747177544979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-89036029304694531002009-01-17T20:16:00.000-05:002009-01-17T20:16:00.000-05:00Hey Ben, you may want to edit the post title unles...Hey Ben, you may want to edit the post title unless you were buying a bottle of wind for a gift (which sounds cool too).<BR/><BR/>Also, you may want to check out <A HREF="http://www.starksilvercreek.com/2008/10/weekend-wine-re.html" REL="nofollow">Evil Wine</A>.
