A few reccomendations by Yafet:
Something dark:
Valero Malbec is a red wine from Argentina. This comes from an old-vine originating in France now migrated to Argentina and is lightly spiced. This would go well with sharp cheeses.
-You can find this in many larger wine outlets.

Something light:
Dalton Chardonnay is an apple wine with extremely low acidity. This wine is made in Galilee. Would go well with fish.
-You can find this at nearly any wine outlet.

Something dry:
Herzog, a very popular Kosher wine, has a really decent Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a great dark rich wine with flavors of cocoa, plum, vanilla, and black with dried herbs. It does have hints of oak. This Cabernet is a bit dry and would go well with red meats.
-You can find this at nearly any wine outlet.

Something sweet:
Mogan David is a bit more 'upper class' than the Manischweitz and has a few varieties from cherry, to blackberry, to concord grape:

However, it is pretty thick and sweet, fyi.
-You can find this wine just about anywhere from grocery stores to wine outlets.
And for an interesting cake recipie using the blackberry variety of this wine:

Something sparkling:
Bartenura has a number of pretty good wines. If you want something light, I would reccomend the Moscato d'Asti. Fruity and nutty in flavor with apricots and almonds. Very tasty. This would go well with appetizers.
-You can find this at Friar Tuck's, Binny's, The Corkscrew, and a handful of other places.

Champaign:
Nicolas Feuillatte Cuvee Speciale is a great honey wine with a touch of hazelnut. This would go great with homemade breads.
-This one is a bit harder to find, you might want to look online.

Something traditional, yet with a twist:
Blackberry Manischewitz wine
Sure, its thick like cough surryp, but its a heck of a lot better than the grape variety! IMHO. It has a unique flavor and isn't
quite as sweet as the grape. This would go well with crackers or Matzah
-You can get this at
any place that carries wine

Something expensive:
Chateau Leoville Poyferre, St. Julien is one of the best blackberry wines out there. Highly reccomended, but hits close to $100 a bottle. This would go great with beef.
-You will be hard pressed to find this in stock in most places, take a look at thedrinkshop.com or binnys.com as most places most likely won't have it in stock. I would reccomend

Something cheap (yet classy):
Alfasi Merlot is a softer merlot that goes down easy. It goes well with red meats or grilled foods.
-You can find this in most wine stores. Typically sells for around $6.99, not bad for a decent merlot.

Zemmy, I hope this small selection helps. My wife and I have made it a point to try a little of everything, and consider ourselves mini wine conisours. Unfortunately, I only get to taste the more pricey wines when we visit the wealthier relatives
Anyway, lemme know if you need any other reccomendations.
shalom,
yafet
Maybe it's me... I am not one for sweet wines at all, so I can hardly stand most red wines anyway. I am thinking we will probably just go with juice this year instead of wine. But I thought I would take a chance and ask if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations for me...
Thanks for the help S_T! I appreciate it, Achi 
oh.... boy.
