The chosen ones

Château Montviel Pomerol 2004

Going red through a seder could earn you a hangover of biblical proportions, but this bordeaux—with hints of plum, tobacco and tar—is worth the gamble. The silky mouthful is the one to pour for Elijah. $67; New York Wine Exchange, 9 Broadway between Beaver and Morris Sts, 212-422-2222

Ramon Cardova Rioja Crianza 2002

Serving brisket? Consider this Spanish red, which has a heady nose of stewed fruit and palate of bright cherry, backed up by earthy undertones. You’ll get farklempt—it’s a perfect match! $14; Columbus Avenue Wine & Spirits, 730 Columbus Ave at 96th St, 212-865-7070

Abarbanel Riesling 2004

There’s no such thing as a kosher German riesling, but this Alsatian version of the food-friendly varietal does nicely. It’s dry and understated, with refreshing mineral and citrus notes and low alcohol content. $19; Scotto’s Wine Cellar, 318 Court St between DeGraw and Sackett Sts, Brooklyn Heights; 718-875-5530

Bartenura Prosecco

The pronounced fruit and zippy acidity of this easygoing Italian fizz would do fine for kicking off your meal with a buzz. Or to end it: This should be a great fit with post-meal sweets (maybe not so much with jelly rings). $12; Garnet Wine & Liquors, 929 Lexington Ave between 68th and 69th Sts, 212-772-3211

Goose Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2006

Perennial first-course gefilte fish finds a friend in this popular New Zealand sauvignon blanc. What it lacks in complexity and finish, it makes up for with its brisk Kiwi palate of passion fruit, peach and banana. $20; McCabe’s, 1347 Third Ave at 77th St, 212-737-0790
