Simmer Season Rosé Sale
by Madison H. Brown
Though a red may seem the obvious choice to spar with heartier fare, rosé has an uncanny ability to invigorate the taste buds, elevating and enriching flavors at table (rather than rivaling them).

Simmer Season Rosé Sale
by Madison H. Brown
I always look forward to these wet, cold-weather months when my kitchen windows steam up from hours of slow-cooking something rich and brothy on the stove. This season is when I dig into my rosé stash, and not because it tastes like “liquid sunshine” or promises to fill my head with visions of a seaside vacation on the Med. No, it wasn’t until I began pairing blush-hued bottles with soul-warming winter recipes that I became a true believer in Kermit’s “rosé year-round” mantra. With just the right balance of structure and refreshing acidity, rosé is a sublime match for meaty stews, rich consommés, or whatever hodgepodge of ingredients I’ve thrown into a pot. Though a red may seem the obvious choice to spar with heartier fare, rosé has an uncanny ability to invigorate the taste buds, elevating and enriching flavors at table (rather than rivaling them). There is a distinct playfulness in pairing bright rosés with winter’s deep, diverse flavors, and since all rosés are 30% off during the month of February, now’s the time to stock up!

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…
The Spirit of Le Sud
Defining the “South of France” is not as easy as one might expect. After all, everything is relative: Parisians may feel they’ve reached the South as soon as they hit Lyon, but to residents of Provence, Lyon may as well be the North Pole. Having made the drive from Burgundy to Provence many times, I have formed my own opinion of where the border lies...
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...

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!
