On Dec. 9, the Windsor 
Jewish Community Center 
held a wine and cheese 
event co-hosted by Rabbi 
Jeff Stombaugh, executive 
director of The Well, and 
Rabbi Mike Nasielski, the 
Windsor JCC’s senior Jewish 
educator. Local sommelier 
Michelle Turnbull guided 

attendees through a sensory 
journey of wines produced 
by Tzafona Cellars, Ontario’s 
only kosher winery, which 
were paired with gourmet 
kosher cheeses. The evening 
was very well attended, 
with many enthusiastically 
asking, “When are we doing 
this again?”
