Here at KLWM, the first weekend in September tends to align with a thrilling rush of news and snapshots from growers letting us know that harvest has begun. We see vineyards bustling with berry pickers whose baskets are brimming with grapes to be transported to the domaine by the truckload. That same weekend, of course, is a holiday in the States that honors the American Labor movement but also symbolizes the hard work we all put in year round. We’ve assembled a sampler to honor both of these celebrations—harvest time, and a well-earned break!
     For the apéritif, “Fines Bulles” from Chanteleuserie is a tart and tangy Cabernet Franc sparkler that I’d gladly drink with snacks like chunks of fancy parm or crudités and dip. In the way of rosé, Les Pallières’ “Au Petit Bonheur” is so barely tinted the domaine likes to call it a blanc de noir, but the nose is unmistakably “rosé.” For a versatile white, Ostertag’s Pinot Gris is mineral and aromatic, and as lovely paired with Thai cuisine as it is with homemade ceviche. The three reds we’ve chosen shine when slightly chilled—not too cold—just enough to bring out their firmer side. Fontsainte’s “La Demoiselle” is plush and warmly southern, while Campriano’s Chianti Classico Riserva is peppery and juicy with a hint of violet. Lastly, Il Palazzotto’s Dolcetto is one of the best bargains in our portfolio and fun to open with either wood-fired pizza, or a saucy spaghetti al pomodoro.
