We're always excited to share new things with you and this week we have a triple header: a new (to us) varietal, from a new (to the USA) winery, from a new (to kosher) region!

Viña Memorias, an award-winning winery founded in 2015 by a family of long-time vintners, prides itself on producing all their red wines from old-vine Bobal grapes. The third most planted vine in their region of Utiel-Requena near Valencia, this grape is relatively unknown in the United States and in the kosher market. You will be amazed at what their skilled winemaker produced!

We'll be tasting:

Finca Zerezal Reserva:
Old Vine Single Vineyard Bobal
Memorias Del Rambam Crianza Bobal:
Old Vine
Memorias Del Rambam Classic Red:
Old Vine Bobal
Memorias Del Rambam Classic White:
Old Vine Macabeo/Sauvignon Blanc
Memorias Del Rambam Classic Rosé:
Old Vine Bobal

We'll be joined by Shimon Oppenhim of Red Garden, who will relate the amazing story of this family winery and taste us through these wines.

The Cheese Guy will also be joining us with a wide array of Kosher for Pesach cheese to taste and purchase.

So take a break from your Pesach preparations and meet up with your friends, here at Filler Up!

This past Pesach, we were excited to at long last be able to offer our customers a good, Kasher l'Pesach Rum. We didn't know much about Dead Drop and Thornton Distilling back then, but we've made sure to learn since!

We are honored to host Ari Klafter, Head Distiller at Thornton Distilling.

We're tasting:
Dead Drop White Rum KP
Dead Drop Gin
Dead Drop Artesian Vodka
Dead Drop Pecan American Whiskey
Dead Drop Old Fashioned

Ari will tell us all about his vision for the distillery, his deep background in whisky, the physical location in Thornton and the spring that feeds it.

We're looking forward to seeing you all here! Cheers!

Tasting hours: 6:30 - 9:00 PM

Israeli wineries dot the countryside, often popping up in the most unlikely of places. We all have come to expect vineyards in the lush Upper Galilee and the cool western foothills of Jerusalem. But discovering, a number of years ago, Sdeh Calev, the only Jewish-owned vineyard in hot and dry ancient Hevron, was eye opening. We are excited to sample a new, entry-level series from La Fôret Blanche Winery!

We'll be tasting:
La Fôret Blanche Talpiot Red 2019
La Fôret Blanche Talpiot White 2020
La Fôret Blanche Talpiot Rosé 2020

We'll be joined by Shimon Oppenheim, La Fôret Blanche's representative, who will tell us about the winery's vision, the deep winemaking roots of the owners, the long-time winemaker and taste us through these approachable and mouth pleasing wines.

We'll see you here!

Tasting hours: 6:30 - 9:00 PM

Eating, drinking and patronizing local growers and producers is the hot thing right now, so we want to give you the opportunity to be trendy, just like the cool kids!

This evening, we are presenting an Orange County, New York, Kosher winery that makes top notch wines. We'll bet you didn't even realize that there is such a thing so close by!

We'll be tasting:

To top it off, we asked the winemaker, Asher Engel, to join us and taste us through his wines. He has some wonderful stories of growing up in a winemaking family and will explain the different styles he has utilized in making each of his wines.

We look forward to seeing you here!

Tasting hours: 6:30 - 9:00 PM

Ruti's engaging personality and ability to describe wine flavors in words make tasting wines with her a treat!

We are excited that, B"H, Teaneck's gradual reopening has been progressing smoothly. We know it will be a while yet before we can have you all here for a Thursday night tasting, but it has been a pleasure seeing and speaking with so many of you in recent weeks.

Did you catch us in the Jewish Link?

This past Shabbat we learned one of my favorite mishnayot, Avot, 4:20: “Rebbi says: don’t look at the container, rather what is in it. There is a new container full of aged wine, and an old container that doesn’t even contain new wine.” It sounds so much more adult than “don’t judge a bo...
