The story behind Rashi
Rashi takes its name from Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, the 11th century French scholar whose acronym became Rashi. Jewish tradition holds that he earned his living as a vintner and wine merchant in Troyes, and his commentaries describe medieval presses, casks and cellars in detail. The modern label honors that history with a split pedigree: Concord and sweet wines made from native grapes in New York and California, sparkling and Moscato styles made in Italy.
Every bottle is Mevushal, flash pasteurized before bottling under rabbinical supervision, so it keeps its kosher status once opened and poured by anyone at the table. No animal derived fining agents are used, which makes the wines vegetarian and vegan friendly, and all are certified Kosher for Passover.
