The wine world—and, for that matter, the world in general—has changed quite a bit since my father launched this business in 1972. In a time before Google search and email, the hunt for new producers bore no resemblance to the way we go about it today. One must also not forget the complexities of geographically locating the wineries in question in a pre-GPS era: according to legend, Kermit traveled with maps of each appellation hand-drawn on a scroll with domaines of interest demarcated by the X of his plume, not unlike a pirate searching for derelict treasure on the depths of the ocean floor.

Today, we face different challenges: autoroute traffic worse than humankind has ever seen, an overwhelming number of new wineries to filter through in search of the very best, and the arrival of countless competitors just as eager as we are to find the next big thing. And yet, we persist: the KLWM portfolio continues to grow, as our palates remain attuned to exciting developments in far-flung corners of provincial France and Italy. While the majority of recent additions are Italian, we have not forgotten where we began, so we also have brand-new French producers to boot. In fact, the last two years alone have seen the start of several mouthwatering collaborations from both countries. You’ll discover six of them in this sampler, including two domaines from Burgundy. –Anthony Lynch

Inspiring Thirst

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
