My Review: This wine right off the bat has a really strong smell. It filled the room as soon as I opened the bottle and reminds me a lot of Manishevitz, which is unsurprising because the bottle says "kosher for Passover." The smell is very grapey, like grape-flavored candy. This wine is very sweet and tastes a lot like Manishevitz as well. It has a very grapey flavor and a tannic component in my throat at the end. Overall, I really enjoyed this wine, especially for a red wine, probably because it reminds me of Jewish holidays growing up.
Another Review: A nice sweet wine with aromas of fresh Concord grapes that finishes elegantly. Pairs perfectly with beef brisket, potato latkes or challah bread. 100% certified Kosher with certification symbol Triangle K, found on every bottle. https://drizly.com/wine/red-wine/concord/mogen-david-concord-grape/p18173
Wine Folly: Lake Erie and the Niagara Escarpment are in the far northwest corner of the state and are very much both under development as fine wine regions. The Lake Erie AVA is shared with the state of Pennsylvania. 95% of the grapes planted in the appellation are Concord, destined for commercial juice grape production. https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/guide-to-new-york-wine-country/
