Preserving and Enhancing Aeolian Winemaking Traditions
The magnificent Aeolian Islands are a string of volcanic islands north of Sicily that include Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli (an active volcano), Filicudi, and Alicudi. Capers are a primary local export, particularly from Salina and Lipari—the two largest and most populous of the islands— but Antonino “Nino” Caravaglio is at once the caper champion of the region and its wine maestro. He has built what is unquestionably the most qualitative collection of vineyards and wines in this little slice of Italy…
A Perfect Day in Northern Burgundy
On a bluebird Saturday morning in May of 2023, I awoke in the village of Chablis. Peering out my hotel window, I could just distinguish the small moving shapes of workers among the hillsides of leafy vines. It was day one of my first-ever KLWM work trip, and the next two weeks would bring me and my colleagues through seven regions and two countries, driving more than a thousand miles and visiting three dozen producers along the way. On this particular day, we were focused on a relatively small slice of the map: Northern Burgundy...
Rising Stars and Living Legends

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!
