Crack It Open
by Tom Wolf
Most of the bottles we import feature a cork, but every so often, we’ll find a demijohn, keg, wine box, or screw cap bottle peeking out of a corner in a cellar in France and Italy. After all, some situations call for a cork-less delivery system…

by Tom Wolf
When I asked the Laboucarié family recently if the golden accents on their labels are a nod to their sliver of Corbières known as the Golden Crescent, I was surprised to hear that artistic choice was a total coincidence. After all, this area is prime land in Corbières…

by Jane Augustine
It’s officially tomato season on the East Coast. Last Sunday morning I bee-lined it to the produce stand at my farmer’s market that sells Jersey-grown tomatoes where, not surprisingly, a line was already forming. Every year they have the best selection of plump and colorful heirloom varieties: orangey-red Beefsteaks, golden Persimmons, and rosy Brandywines…

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...

by Anthony Lynch
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...
View the CollectionLa Famille Quenard
by Jane Augustine
The Quenard family’s long history in the Savoie doesn’t begin with André, but his arrival at the domaine in 1944 marks a turning point in the family’s legacy. When André took over their polyculture farm in the village of Chignin, the wines were still sold only by the barrel to café owners. Around 1960, with a deep-seated belief in the quality of his terroir—before Chignin’s AOC designation in 1976—he began bottling his own wines, championing the steep scree slopes of Torméry, and helping to establish the reputation of an entire winegrowing region along the way...

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!
