Life Enthusiast Adds Kosher Wines to His List

Washington, DC…

The Washington Jewish Week recently profiled Maurie Rosenberg of Silver Springs "a man of many passions,” including sailing, skin diving, and guitar. He also considers himself “an amateur stargazer”. The native Philadelphian recently added kosher wines to his repertoire with a new book “L'Chaim: User's Guide to Kosher Wine 1.0.” "I've been a wine enthusiast for several decades," says Rosenberg, 56. He became a wine enthusiast over the years before beginning to keep kosher in 1990. He hopes his book, with ratings, including what he considers best buys, will create an awareness for consumers and help encourage merchants to offer more and better kosher wines and vineyards to produce a better product. Consumers can drink "wonderful [kosher] wine" for under $15 a bottle, he says. One "starter" wine he recommends is Jeunesse, a Baron Herzog "young cabernet" that sells for $10.
