Seth's Bio

Buyer of: Kosher Wines

After graduating from George Washington University in 1998, Seth worked as a trader on for several major New York stock and commodity exchanges before he came to work at 67Wine in fall 2010. Noticing the lack of Kosher wine in the store, and given the demographic of the Upper West Side, Seth saw a need to dramatically expand the Kosher selection. The following year, Seth spent six months in Israel, where he developed deeper passions not only for Israel but also for Israeli wine. Upon his return, and with the help of buyer Sadie Flateman, he built one of the largest and most diverse selections of Kosher wines in the city, drawing from around the world. Seth now supplies many of the Jewish events in the city with Kosher wines, ranging from not-for-profit galas to large Shabbat dinners. Seth also sits on the board of several major Jewish organizations in New York City.

Seth's Favorite Tequila - Alacrán Blanco Tequila

Food Pairing	Why I Bought This	The Story
The clean, smooth Alacrán Tequila pairs perfectly with all kinds of Mexican foods, but it especially complements and cools down spicy fresh seafood dishes One of my favorites is a soft shell taco filled with blackened Mahi Mahi and topped with a generous serving of Pico de Gallo. Of course, it’s also delicious sipped neat or in a cocktail, which is why it’s become a bottle that I keep regularly stocked at my house.	I wanted to bring in an authentic tequila blanco that was herbal and fruity, rather than earthy or woodsy. Alacrán Tequila is both of these things: it has a unique, smooth quality that lacks any hint of bitterness. The finish is pure with sweet agave flavors and lacks any harsh qualities.	Alacrán was created three years ago by a group of friends who rebelled against tequila’s reigning status quo. The ultra-premium Alacrán is made in Jalisco from 100 percent blue agave, a plant which flowers only once in its lifetime. Hand crafted via a fine-tuned column distillation process, the Alacrán has delicate flavors that are disguised by its sexy, black matte bottle. Unlike many white tequilas, the Alacrán is so smooth that you can sip it on its own, but it will also brighten drinks such as citrusy Palomas and Margaritas.
