The KLWM “Sampler” is an institution in our retail shop. I started my career at KLWM as a retail salesperson from 2000 through 2003 and remember how much our customers enjoy our samplers, using them to explore our portfolio and developing their palates and a common vocabulary with one or more of our staff. With our 10 percent case discount on most items, a mixed case is the most common purchase at our shop. The sampler enhances the concept with several important features: (1) we choose the wines, eliminating the painful process of you having to draw up lengthy pro/con lists on the Reuilly versus the Cheverny; (2) we include a generous discount above and beyond our standard case discount; and (3) we toss in a recipe or two for good measure, just in case you are tiring of the same old list of dinner options week in and week out, as I am.
     This month we have emphasized more robust reds and fuller-bodied whites as the weather cools around the country. There are selections for Thanksgiving in there as well, including a palate-cleansing sparkler and one dessert wine.
      Please give us a call once you’ve tasted through this case, to let us know your favorites and allow us to provide you with a customized experience. We will put together another case whenever you are ready and make sure each selection is a perfect fit for your taste. Enjoy and repeat as often as you would like!
