Pesah Uncorked

Join us Saturday evening, March 20th @ 8:15 p.m. for Pesah Uncorked. The four glasses of wine we drink during the Seder need not become a Mitzrayim of their own. Join us for a wine tasting event that will introduce you to four lovely kosher wines—each of which will be fine additions to your table year-round! RSVP by March 15th.

A little Pesah learning paired with a little wine education. Light hors d’oeuvres and dessert (dairy) will also be served.

Featuring Star Tribune Wine Columnist, Bill Ward, and Rabbi Avi Olitzky
