Taylor Wine Company was founded in 1880 with a seven-acre vineyard overlooking Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. After making Ports and Sherries for over 100 years, they continue their fine tradition with a line of dessert wines called "Taylor Desserts."

Joseph Zakon Winery, which produces Kesser wines, was founded in 1981. The Brookyln-born winemaker, and his wife Michelle, named the winery with a Kabbalistic approach. Kesser, which means “crown” in Hebrew, is the basis for leadership in Judaism. The wines are stylistically made for Kiddush, meaning“to make Holy.” Who better to lead Kiddush than the person wearing the Crown?

Opici Madeira is a full rich wine with an amber color and a hearty ripe flavor. It is perfectly suited to creating demi-glaze sauces and adds a burst of flavor to brown sauces pork and poultry gravy.

Selected Cabernet Franc grapes are aged in small oak barrels for two years to create this deep and hearty vintage Port. Flavors of toffee, chocolate, and ripe cherry make this a perfect after-dinner accompaniment to fruit, dessert, and coffee.

A classic ice-wine style. Deep golden color, with vibrant, pure fruit aromas of ripe apricot, pineapple, and lychee. The rich, voluptuous mouth feel yields fresh fruit flavors that are full bodied and sweet yet wonderfully fresh and lively due to the balanced acidity. The finish is aromatic and lingering. The fine balance of this wine gives it excellent aging potential.

Classic Gewurztraminer spices of nutmeg and clove infuse this lush wine, remarkably well-balanced by natural acidity. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, light and fruity desserts, stone fruit tarts or pies and cheese cake.

A richly textured and luxuriously balanced wine, showing flavors of baked peaches enveloped by honey and warm ginger and clove, with an orange and cinnamon finish. Enjoy by itself, or try pairing with baked fruit pies, spiced desserts, or a selection of your favorite strongly-flavored cheeses.
