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...
Very Vieilles Vignes

This collection features wine produced mainly from vines planted before 1950, with some going as far back as 150 years—these twelve wines are truly very old-vine gems! Don’t miss some of France and Italy’s greatest viticultural treasures.…
Introducing Domaine Thillardon

Beaujolais may be a lighter wine, but we at KLWM don’t take our Beaujolais lightly! Our appetite for bright, pure-fruited Gamay has been insatiable ever since Kermit’s first trip exploring the region in 1974. 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…
A Trio of Spring Samplers

Even if you generally like to buy individual bottles, our latest collection of curated sampler packs offers a great opportunity to discover new wines in categories that you already know and enjoy…
Nebbiolo by Another Name

In December of last year, the excellent wine blog, “Opening a Bottle,” likened one of our wines to Shohei Ohtani, the 30-year-old Japanese phenom who has changed the game of baseball and might go down as the greatest player of all time. I’ve thought about this comparison nearly every day since, wondering each time I take a sip of red Burgundy, Barolo, or Côte-Rôtie, “Could this also be considered the Shohei Ohtani of wine?”
I finally tasted a worthy contender—or set of contenders—last month...
Rosé with Pizza?

Here in California where I grew up, pizza used to be a tough crust oozing with the cheapest cheese money could buy and a tomato sauce so raunchy it took a dose of macho red wine to wash it down. Cleanse the palate, as we gourmets say today. But the pizza scene has evolved…

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!
