Well, my brother-in-law recognized the wine, which was Mogen David from hell, frankly. He didn't recognized a single dish, though. I had used a European Jewish cookbook to please someone born in Israel. Oops. He appreciated the effort, though, and the food *was* good.
Watching him put a hand on the top of his hand and bless the wine was priceless. (He's fun to have around and indulged me.) It would have taken a lot more than prayers to make that damned wine palatable, though.
