Sabbath Wine is another one of the Nebula Short Story nominees for 2016. The story is really all about the setting, which is a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn during prohibition. The daughter wants her father, a militantly anti-religious Jew, to have a Sabbath meal for her new friend. For that, he needs kosher wine.
It's sweet and well written, a nice dessert. 3 stars.
