New site for annual Bet Shalom wine event

Congregation Bet Shalom will hold its 12th annual Wine Tasting at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19 at CataVinos Wine Shoppe & Tasting Room, 3063 N. Alvernon Way.

The event will feature tastings of kosher wines from around the world.

Rosa Cohen, president of the synagogue, notes that in recent years, many kosher wines from the United States, Israel, Europe, South America and other regions of the globe have won international awards. “If you think that kosher wines are suitable only for Passover Seders and Shabbat rituals, then you’ll be surprised and delighted by these kosher wines,” says Cohen.

The fundraiser is open to the public. Proceeds benefit Bet Shalom. Tickets are $25 and space is limited. For more information visit cbsaz.org or call 577-1171.
