JEWISH SENIOR LIFE

On Dec. 12, Jewish Senior Life of 
Metropolitan Detroit toasted the holidays in 
style at a wine pairings and tapas event in the 
new Fireside Lounge at West Bloomfield’s 
Hechtman Apartments. Guests sampled wines 
selected by Plum Market Sommelier Paula 
Hartson who shared decanting and pouring 
techniques, wine storage temperature guide-
lines, and other wine tips and tricks. Plum 
Market’s selected vintages, including kosher 
wines from France, California and Israel’s old-
est winery, were perfectly paired with Spanish 
tapas prepared by JSL’s culinary team.
