Wines In The Collection
Grange Saint-Sauveur France | Loire
A lovely combination of Grolleau Noir and Cabernet Franc, there seems to be a synergistic effect elevating both grapes to create a juicy, spicy, refreshing whole.
André et Michel Quenard France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
Lychee and ripe citrus wrapped in beeswax. You might think there are a bunch of busy benevolent bees whiling away inside your glass.
Antoine-Marie Arena France | Corsica
If you’re like me, a glass of Corsican Muscatellu sparks visions of evening cheese plates laden with Marcona almonds and gemlike fruits.
Domaine de l’Alliance France | Bordeaux
A simply stunning white that seems to not just elevate the food on your plate, but your entire mood. Your surroundings will melt away as you get lost in your glass.
Grottafumata Italy | Sicily
This old-vine Carricante gets its luxurious golden hue from four days of skin contact, a traditional process on Etna that really brings out the distinctive scents of this special place.
Domaine Giudicelli France | Corsica
Muriel Giudicelli’s Patrimonio rouge is elegant, deep, bursting with ripe black fruits, silky smooth, and offering great length.
Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace
That grapes can be cajoled and fashioned to make such a liquid is miraculous. This aroma is beyond belief.
Maxime Magnon France | Languedoc-Roussillon
The Rozeta features the exuberant, inviting perfume and velvety wild fruit we expect from a wine that underwent 100% whole-cluster fermentation.
Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet France | Beaujolais
Charly Thévenet and his father, Jean Paul, now bottle a range of five different wines in their cellars in Villié-Morgon
Domaine Michel Brégeon France | Loire
This lithe and expressive “orange” wine is an ideal palate-opener with a dry, cleansing finish and a fresh, cooling effect like coastal sage and seaspray.
Sesti Italy | Tuscany
With a regal perfume that is both sweet and savory, a ripe berry fruit accented by balmy herbs and earthy wafts of incense, this enthralling Brunello is already approachable, but will reward you if you set aside a few bottles to open over the next ten years.
La Marca di San Michele Italy | Le Marche
The wine’s salinity finds balance with a delightfully tart note of lemon rind.
Grange Saint-Sauveur France | Loire
Intensely dry and mineral, the structured Les Arceaux is a bottle to pair with a meal rather than to drink as an apéritif.
Giovanni Montisci Italy | Sardinia
Old-vine Moscato from Sardinian mountaintops. It is heavenly with sea urchin pasta.
Vigneti Vecchio Italy | Sicily
Aromas of wildflowers, saffron, beeswax, and Mediterranean herbs. Rich, fleshy, and focused, all at just 12% alcohol.

Joie de Vivre and a Zeal for Burgundian Terroir
In a way, it’s a blessing that Valentin Montanet’s northern corner of Burgundy isn’t home to any premiers or grands crus. Under no pressure to do anything too grand or fussy with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, or Melon de Bourgogne, Valentin’s greatest ambition is to make the most pure and joyous whites and reds possible…
Latest Finds from Kermit’s Cellar
Who hasn’t felt a pang of jealousy reading about the wines Kermit tasted in damp, dark French cellars and vigneron dining rooms during his early adventures on the wine route? 1959 Joguet Chinon, 1955 Tempier rouge, 1942 Chave Hermitage—each vibrant, alive, and in their prime, despite their many years in bottle. That’s why we take such pleasure in unearthing aged bottles we’ve tucked away over the years to share with you…
Fine Wine Bargains
Once I left Burgundy and began exploring elsewhere, I noticed that France and Italy produced incredible bargains, especially if one looked where no one else was looking. Nothing makes me prouder (commercially speaking, anyway) than returning home with yet another fine wine bargain for you...

Introducing Domaine Thillardon
Beaujolais may be a lighter wine, but we at KLWM don’t take our Beaujolais lightly! Our appetite for bright, pure-fruited Gamay has been insatiable ever since Kermit’s first trip exploring the region in 1974. It has been our joy to introduce you to benchmark domaines such as Lapierre, Foillard, and Château Thivin, and now there is a new name to remember…

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!
