Wines In The Collection
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe France | Southern Rhône
Nothing says “life of the party” like a magnum of our best Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is the perfect pairing for your holiday roast!
Château Roûmieu-Lacoste France | Bordeaux
Cap off your holiday feast with a glass of this heavenly Sauternes to experience pure luxury on the palate…
Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace
You’ll detect a steely quality on the finish, and the slightest hint of the petrol often associated with Riesling. Delicious!
Veuve Fourny et Fils France | Champagne
I think I'll replace my Christmas tree with a very large bottle of Champagne. ’Tis the season!
Didier Meuzard France | Burgundy
The perfect addition to your holiday season: decadent and lush, full of dense autumnal fruit and Burgundian finesse.
Punta Crena Italy | Liguria
The first jar feels like a special treat, but by the second or third you realize they're a pantry staple.
Moulin Jean-Marie Cornille France | Provence
This is my go-to olive oil at home, drizzled over EVERYTHING, and it's always fun to share your favorite things with the ones you love. Give the gift of an artisanal kitchen restock!
J. Lassalle France | Champagne
This rosé Champagne from J. Lassalle is one of my favorite party tricks—festive, unexpectedly blush, and delicious.
Château Gombaude-Guillot France | Bordeaux
An exceptional right bank Bordeaux beauty–perfectly aged for you to consume during the holidays.
Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet France | Beaujolais
When you don’t know what your hosts are serving for dinner and they’re fun and friendly people, bring this juicy, silky, and minerally old-school Beaujolais and know you'll be invited back.
Thierry Germain France | Loire
Sourced from 110+ year-old vines, this is hands-down one of the best Cab Francs being made in the Loire Valley today.
Nicolas Maillart France | Champagne
This Bouzy-dominant blend of Pinot Noir with 2% still red and 1 gram of dosage is bright, expressive, incisive, and chalky.
Albert Boxler France | Alsace
Late-harvest wines of this quality in Alsace take incredible skill to make. This is a supremely beautiful example of a harmonious, highly successful partnership between man and nature.
Nicolas Maillart France | Champagne
Pure Pinot Noir from the grand cru of Bouzy, a great terroir that makes its presence felt with a more structured and serious Champagne, built to age
Comtesse de Chérisey France | Burgundy
De Chérisey produces classic Chardonnay that seems as if from a different time. White Burgundy like this doesn’t come around very often.
Giovanni Montisci Italy | Sardinia
Old-vine Moscato from Sardinian mountaintops, 4 days on skins, fermented dry and aged in barrel—heavenly with sea urchin pasta
Château Gombaude-Guillot France | Bordeaux
Dress-code-not-required Bordeaux, whose velvety tannins and supple structure fit more like soft flannel and worn jeans than a stiff suit jacket and tie
Nicolas Maillart France | Champagne
Beautiful perfume of orange blossom, very fine with an incredibly soft mousse.
Nicolas Maillart France | Champagne
Pure Pinot Meunier from Villers, this impressive bottling shows great freshness and finesse allied with smooth, silky roundness and completed with a long, chalky finish.
Nicolas Maillart France | Champagne
Planted on a base of chalk, this is a dry, focused Champagne with real class.
Domaine de Durban France | Southern Rhône
This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit. Have an ice cream maker? This wine makes the best sorbet you’ll ever taste!
Château Moulin Pey-Labrie France | Bordeaux
This perfectly middle-aged rouge abounds with beautiful aromas of strawberries and cassis along with a certain woodsiness, and it feels deep and soulful—the way old-school Bordeaux should.
Thierry Germain France | Loire
This chiseled Chenin Blanc comes from 70-year-old vines planted on an ancient limestone slope. Burgundian-like in character from its time spent in barrel, the laser-like acidity will become even more enticing with some age.
Domaine de la Tour Vieille France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Imagine a red, Grenache-based Sauternes, full of earth and spice, and you’ll have a decent idea how delicious this Banyuls tastes.
Domaine de Terrebrune France | Provence
Here is a full-bodied dose of Terrebrune terroir you can enjoy over the next thirty years.
Henri Costal France | Burgundy
There is no mistaking it—one taste and you are in Chablis territory: zesty minerality, wet stone, freshness and nervosity.
François Rousset-Martin France | Jura
Produced from unfermented Chardonnay must blended with marc (neutral grape spirit), then aged for five years in barrel, it has wild aromatics of dried fruit, spices, and candied citrus zest.
France | Southern Rhône
Nothing says “life of the party” like a magnum of our best Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is the perfect pairing for your holiday roast!
Kermit’s book is always on the list of best wine books to give as a gift. A bottle of wine from KLWM and this book; that's a perfect gift!

The Many Faces of Cabernet Franc
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...

Côte Rôtie: Rediscovering the Jewel
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.

50th Anniversary Merchandise
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!
