Wines In The Collection
We put together a booklet of twelve recipes that you might prepare for a holiday party or potluck, along with twelve wines you might find in one of our clubs in any given month.
Inspired by James Beard Award–winning food writer Georgeanne Brennan’s delectable suggestions, we’ve assembled a sampler perfect for spending time in the kitchen this season.
Meet Kendrick Thomas, an easygoing American wine merchant happily residing in Provence and eager to enjoy all the gastronomic pleasures available in France.
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 perfect tote for a bottle of wine, loaf of bread, or whatever else you might be bringing to that holiday party around the corner.
Locally screen-printed on soft and durable Port Authority pocketed full-length apron.
Don’t limit yourself to using this as just a condiment—it adds a good kick to sauces too.
Domaine La Tour Vieille France | Languedoc-Roussillon
This vinegar is particular because it’s made with sweet wine, which confers a very unique taste.
Punta Crena Liguria
The first jar feels like a special treat, but by the second or third you realize they’re a pantry staple.
Locally screen-printed on soft and durable Port Authority pocketed full-length apron.

A. & G. Fantino Italy | Piedmont
Made from Riserva-quality Barolo Nebbiolo, it’s a throwback to the Baroli of yesteryear, profound and stately.
J. Lassalle France | Champagne
The Lassalle women tucked this bottling away for seven years, allowing it to slumber on its lees. Well worth the wait, it is a classy and luxurious bottle with a beautiful label to boot.
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Southern Rhône
Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.
An essential for Kermit and anyone who ages wine–this corkscrew perfectly opens older wines with the most fragile and challenging corks.
As the name suggests, this mustard is old-fashioned— that means whole-grain, with each bite full of texture and flavor.
This whole-grain moutarde is enhanced with the addition of grape must, which gives the must-ard a purple color and a unique sweet, savory, spicy flavor.
Domaine de Marquiliani Corsica
From a tiny mill in Corsica’s eastern mountains, Douce is soft and tender.
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.
Moulin Jean-Marie Cornille Provence
Made with mature black olives, the most buttery and decadent oil we import.
Grottafumata Sicily
One of Sicily’s most coveted oils, perfumed with bright citrus, dried fruit, and herbs.
Clos Canarelli Corsica
Fruity nose with a hint of black olive; mild yet richly textured with a soft, peppery finish.
Riofavara Sicily
This aromatic golden nectar has a buttery richness and just the right amount of spicy kick.
Domaine Tempier France | Provence
With the chewy, fragrant cuvée, something garlicky cooked over coals will do just fine.

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
The twelve wines in this collection are divided into two categories: six bottles from vignerons we consider to be living legends, and six bottles from rising stars. If you tasted all twelve wines blind, or without reading about them first, you wouldn’t be able to tell which wines fall into which camp…
Cahors Two Ways

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!
