Try some kosher wines for Passover

Here are ideas for kosher wines for Passover:

Big reds

The Golan Heights Winery contributes a duo from Galilee: the 2005 Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon ($26) and the 2003 Yarden Syrah ($25), two age-worthy wines with rich varietal character. Israel also offers the 2005 Barkan Merlot Reserve ($27), jammy and concentrated.

Big values

The versatile 2007 Goose Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc ($19), a lively and tangy New Zealand import, has a hint of citrus.

The Barkan Merlot Classic ($13), medium-bodied and straightforward, goes with red meat.

There's plenty of effervescence in the 2008 Teal Lake Sparkling Muscat ($15), a fizzy, semi-dry, low-alcohol entry from southeastern Australia.

Paumanok Vineyards, a master of riesling, presents a lush, honeyed and peachy 2007 Riesling Late Harvest ($27, 375 ml), a delightful dessert wine that really turns spring sweet.
