What a perfect day for soup — and in a perfect month for it, as January is National Soup Month! Though we are normally blessed with beautiful weather, very much unlike what we’re suffering through currently, this rain gives us an excuse to indulge in pozole, pho, ramen and the rest of our favorite bowls of delicious warmth. Who makes your favorite soup in L.A.?
California Wine: Living High on the Herzog
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of kosher wine? It may be the square-bottled screw-capped, and syrupy-sweet Manischewitz. Or it could even be a shockingly pink, grapefruit flavored “wine” in a bottle labeled MD 20/20, lovingly referred to as MadDog at your local frat house — which isn’t exactly kosher itself, but is made by an otherwise-kosher company. This is unfortunately the perception most people have of Kosher wine, if they have any idea of what kosher wine is at all. Luckily, there is in truth quite a selection of fine wines available that meet kosher standards, and some are produced as close as Oxnard.
