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?
