New Arrivals from the Savary Family

Olivier Savary was not always destined to make wine. Even though many of his relatives around the Chablisien village of Maligny did, a string of challenging harvests had discouraged Olivier’s parents from joining the family business.
Pleasures of the Languedoc Collection

For years, Kermit has praised the pleasures of the Languedoc and the rewards in store for those willing to explore it: “If you’re looking for value, look where no one else is looking.” It’s been 31 years since he penned that phrase, and the Languedoc is still home to our very best values in French wine. Now through the end of the month, take 20% off dozens of garrigue-laden reds, evocative whites, and thirst-quenching rosés from France’s most underrated region.
Heirloom Grapes of France and Italy

Here you will discover twelve examples from Italian and French vignerons who have resisted the tendency to globalize their vineyards, honorably sustaining the varieties native to their respective terroirs.
Jean Foillard: Humble Legend of Morgon

Even the most renowned vignerons in Villié-Morgon tend to be laid back and unassuming despite the monumental Gamays they produce—perhaps none more so than Jean Foillard. One of Morgon’s “Gang of Four” Kermit first championed thirty years ago, Jean farms some of the cru’s most celebrated vineyards and his translation of these schist, granite, and sandstone terroirs is never anything short of breathtaking.
The Joyous Wines of Les Pallières

For me, it’s no surprise—legend has it that Gigondas derived its name many moons ago from jucunda, Latin for “joyous.”
Alpine Charms from the Quenards

When I moved to Burgundy many years ago, I befriended a young Savoyard who had recently inherited some family vineyards, and he invited me for a tour of his vines in the village of Chignin. Having never set foot in Chignin, nor ever tasted a wine from Savoie, I gladly accepted his invitation.
From the Loire to Italy, a Grape with Many Faces
While passing by a restaurant recently, I overheard a customer order a glass of “the Sauvignon Blanc.” I wondered what she’d end up with, where this wine was from and who had made it––all the while lamenting the use of a grape variety to convey an entire category. It got me thinking of all the possibilities that might fall under the umbrella of Sauvignon Blanc, especially when considering the diverse selections within our own portfolio.
Manni Nössing’s Mountain Gems

With our spirits high and palates cleansed, we left the winery awed by his Kerner: a wine of pinpoint focus, featuring aromas of tropical fruit that jump out of the glass. Equally stunning is the Veltliner.
Recent Wine Club Selections

Our five wine clubs feature our best values from France and Italy as well as complex and cellar-worthy wines.
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!
