Mickey’s son is getting married today – at the winery that he himself has owned and cherished for decades. For 24 years Mickey has preserved a special barrel of wine to open for this occasion. But minutes before the ceremony, the rabbi who is the kosher supervisor at the winery witnesses a non-Jew touching the wine, thus rendering it “Neseh” – forbidden to all Jews. Mickey wants to serve the wine anyway (who’s to know?), but the rabbi is going to make damn sure it doesn’t leave the cellar.
