Those of us who love to ignite our palates with spicy foods know the satisfaction of finding what sometimes feels like quite a feat: The perfect wine pairing.

No dinner plan excites me as much as pizza night. Is there anything better than a constellation of mozzarella melting into a fresh and tangy tomato sauce, all coating a doughy, crispy, lightly charred crust?

The first time I had lunch with the lovely Geoffray family, overlooking the Côte de Brouilly from their canopied terrace on Mont Brouilly, they served a range of Lyonnaise “salads” and other nose-to-tail specialties...

The Loire Valley’s Touraine region may be home to some of France’s grandest châteaux, but when it comes to its wines, the region remains thoroughly paysan, and free of pomp and ceremony. Wine and food are paramount to the spirit and culture here, and made primarily in the image of the weeknight table, impromptu picnic, or barbecue. Cabernet Franc is the star red grape in this rural, central stretch of the Valley...

Right outside the picturesque hilltop village of Monforte d’Alba, Massimo Benevelli is humbly carrying on the family winemaking tradition initiated by his father, Piero, in the 1970s...

Hard to believe, but by the 1960s most of the Côte-Rôtie was abandoned to wild brush. One could earn far more money growing apricots along the Rhône than one could growing grapes on the slopes above. What was once celebrated the world over had quietly slid into oblivion. Thankfully, a few growers weren’t fazed and carried on…

Looking out at the undulating hills of Chablis, littered with ancient marine fossils, it’s hard not to envision the ocean that once covered this land. Row upon row of Chardonnay vines rise and fall along ridges that roll into the horizon like waves of a massive swell...

Félix Meyer is full of surprises. A third-generation winemaker with deep expertise at his family’s domaine, he continues to make changes and improvements while remaining true to his roots. In addition to expanding his grand cru holdings...

The twelve wines in this collection are divided into six bottles from living legends and six from rising stars in our portfolio, but if you tasted all twelve blind, or without reading about them first, you wouldn’t be able to tell which wines fall into which camp...

Les Pallières is unique in the Gigondas appellation. For one thing, its northwestern exposure and its altitude give a Gigondas renowned over the centuries for its uncommon finesse...

“Le Chiusure,” meanwhile, referred to the vineyard from which Cantina Favaro made this wine. This gorgeous bottle courses with energy and bursts open with notes of citrus, pear, white flowers, and a faintly saline finish...

Next time you’re thinking of having a few friends over, or throwing a party yourself, look to the masters of that domaine, and plan on some Dupeuble Beaujolais. Neither you nor any of your invitees will regret that decision...

Kermit took interest in Saint-Joseph early, and today we represent some of the appellation’s most talented growers working in its very top sites...

Have you tried our new Champagne?
This phrase has been on repeat for me ever since our first container from Nicolas Maillart, the latest Champagne grower to join the KLWM ranks, arrived at port a couple of months ago...

Our five wine clubs feature our best values from France and Italy as well as complex and cellar-worthy wines.

When the esteemed French wine artist Michel Tolmer created beautiful artwork for our 50th anniversary, we knew right away that we had to feature it on a few select items of merch. After spending maybe a little too much time researching the options, we landed on a classy, leather-strap cap, a comfortable t-shirt made from 100% cotton, and a tote made with incredibly sturdy, fair-trade, and organic cotton by a certified B corp that invests in the livelihoods of women and farmers of India, featuring three wine sleeves and two other compartments for all of your other needs!
