Wines In The Collection
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.
Clos Saint-Joseph France | Provence
A single barrel was produced of this delicate, peppery, low-alcohol red from a forgotten grape variety. Serve chilled.
Giovanni Montisci Italy | Sardinia
You’d be right to be skeptical of a Nebbiolo from Sardinia, but from a top-notch terroir high in the mountains, it is something else entirely.
Masseria del Pino Italy | Sicily
A rosé made via ancient methods from ashy soils high on Mount Etna.
Cuna Italy | Tuscany
With an unmistakably Italian nose, it recalls the grippy tannins of a bright Chianti and the stateliness of an aged Bordeaux.
Domaine Les Hauts Lieux France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
Crystalline purity, mouthwatering salinity, and complexity without weight make this akin to an Alpine premier cru.?
Antoine Arena France | Corsica
Golden ripe Vermentinu berries are responsible for this fleshy, succulent dry white.
Piero Benevelli Italy | Piedmont
While charming now, Le Coste di Monforte will reward you for many years to come.
Barruol / Lynch France | Northern Rhône
From vines that are more than eighty years old comes this Marsanne with magnificent floral, pit fruit, and bitter notes.
Roland Lavantureux France | Burgundy
May Club Chevalier ~ A wine of striking finesse that shows off the crunchy red fruit, floral notes, and peppery spice typical of Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s far north.
Charles Joguet France | Loire
The perfect combination of tart red fruit, herbaceousness, and graphite earthiness.
Maxime Magnon France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Just different and obscure enough to deliver the thrill of introducing someone to a gorgeous wine that is familiar, but new.
François Rousset-Martin France | Jura
There is a crisp toffee-like nose on this wine that’s a hint reductive but attractive and explosive.
Jean-Baptiste Arena France | Corsica
Harvested early and fermented in stainless steel tanks to maintain a vibrant quality, balanced by lush notes of flowers, spice, and citrus that will pair well with any number of foods.
Grange Saint Sauveur France | Loire
The new vintage shows great freshness and brightness, making me think of tart berries picked in the forest just a touch below full ripeness.
Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet France | Beaujolais
In classic Thévenet fashion, the wine is bright and energetic—a snappy Chardonnay that tastes like fresh green apple skin with a whisper of gentian.
Domaine Giacometti France | Corsica
An aromatic mix of roasted, smoking herbs with plenty of tannins to chew on, Cuvée Sarah goes down with pleasure.
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 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.
Roland Lavantureux France | Burgundy
Displaying both the oyster shell quality we love about Chablis and the sunny orchard fruit notes that make Bourgogne blancs so delicious.
Jean-Baptiste Arena France | Corsica
Lightly golden in color, it conjures up a day spent in the sun: seabreezes and ripe honeydew, including its subtle, savory rind.
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.

The 2024 Vintage in the Beaujolais
You might think of the 2024 vintage as the Beaujolais’ Tiny Desk Concert rather than its Super Bowl. These wines might not overpower you with the amps, light shows, and special effects of other recent, solar vintages, but they can still dazzle and charm you in other creative, elegant, and intimate ways...
Celebrating Ten Years of Sardinia
In 2016, KLWM sent a fearsome trio to Sardinia to scout the island’s wines: Kermit, the taster; Gail, the photographer; and Anthony, the chauffeur and translator (alright, I did some tasting too, mind you). Amid a sea of ordinary wines, we sampled a Vermentino that immediately stood out for its authentic character...

The Extraordinary Hospitality of Punta Crena

A Spring Quartet of Buzzworthy Arrivals
It seems like every day over the last few weeks, we’ve been greeted at the Port of Oakland by dozens of thrilling new wines from France and Italy. After making the short trip from the port to KLWM headquarters, these bottles have queued up for our weekly staff tastings, and among the many standouts, four wines in particular have unanimously wowed our staff…
Pairing Pinots in Spring
Coming upon Chris Lee’s Wild Salmon Baked in Fig Leaves with Rosé Butter, I thought, what could be more appropriate right now? The recipe appears a few times across our sixteen-year archive, and the suggested pairings change every time, ranging from lush whites to juicy, light reds, and crisp, mineral rosés in between. For such a simple dish, the possibilities seemed endless. In revisiting, I wanted that same versatility in the glass, and only one word came to mind: Pinot…
Arthur Ostertag
Arthur’s wines were the revelation of the trip. For months after, in the group chat with everyone on the tour, my screen would light up with shots of his wines—those incomparably elegant bottles with the stunning labels—standing tall atop the tables of every restaurant the other growers were dining in, in their hometowns or around the world. Arthur was officially the breakout star of the trip...

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!
