Producers
Cantine Elvio Tintero Italy | Piedmont | Langhe
This dreamy wine, perfect for aperitivo, reaffirms that we should turn more often to Piedmont not only for our reds but also for our whites!
Selected by Kermit Lynch France | Southern Rhône
Hailing from a parcel of co-planted vines adjacent to the family home, these varieties were planted together with the express purpose of making the house rouge, the everyday vibrant and juicy drink you’d bring to the table in a jug and drink out of a cup.
Domaine Dupeuble France | Beaujolais | Beaujolais
Simultaneously fun to drink and a wine of real substance, with an extra dimension of depth along with an array of delightful flavors and textures.
Bèrto Italy | Piedmont
A stellar, artisanal red Vermouth whose uses are endless.
Corte Gardoni Italy | Veneto | Corvina Veronese IGT
At Corte Gardoni they believe in pure Corvina, putting the best aside for their Becco Rosso. Vibrant and faultlessly refreshing, this bottling has also been known to resemble much pricier Burgundy with some bottle age.
Quentin Harel France | Beaujolais | Morgon
This Morgon comes largely from a parcel of 80-year-old vines lies in the lieu-dit Charmes, a higher-altitude site prone to giving lively, elegant, and mineral reds.
Lambert de Seyssel France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes | Seyssel
This bottle of Royal Seyssel had me Royally fooled into thinking I was enjoying a very pricey, very prestigious, vintage Champagne.
Castagnoli Italy | Tuscany | Chianti Classico
A delicious Chianti Classico for now or later, with extraordinary potential at table.
Domaine de la Tour du Bon France | Provence | Bandol
The lightest and most aromatic Bandol rosé we import.
Domaine Roland Lavantureux France | Burgundy | Chablis
Everything about this cuvée, from the delicately briny scent of slick oyster shells to the concentrated, pristinely focused sensation on the palate, is a demonstration of why this domaine has become one of Chablis’ very best.
Domaine de la Cadette France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
This is young Pinot at its best: aromatic, expressive, and a true pleasure to drink.
Kuentz-Bas France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
This mouthwatering and impeccably balanced Riesling is a testament to the majestic heights Alsace’s grands crus can reach.
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe France | Southern Rhône | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Here at KLWM we’ve been referring to this cuvée as the Bruniers’ young-vine Châteauneuf for so long that those vines have gone and grown up right under our noses.
A. & G. Fantino Italy | Piedmont | Barolo
Ripe, deep, and almost extravagant in its breadth of aroma and flavor, while a dense, tightly knit core of firm acidity and fine-grained tannins make up a rigid spine.
Albert Boxler France | Alsace | Alsace
Made from young vine fruit from Grand Cru vineyards, this Riesling delivers delicious fruit, crispness, and minerality beyond its price point.
Domaine Follin-Arbelet France | Burgundy | Aloxe-Corton
The Follin family’s 2019 reds are some of the most delicious of the vintage I have tasted, none more so than their incredibly vibrant and pure Aloxe-Corton.
Ferretti Italy | Tuscany | Brunello di Montalcino
Drink Later: The hype about 2016 is justified, and Ferretti’s first-ever release delivers all you could ask for in a great Brunello.
André Perret France | Northern Rhône | Condrieu
A top site in Condrieu interpreted by one of the appellation’s masters—simply put, one of the greatest expressions of the Viognier grape on earth.
Guido Porro Italy | Piedmont | Barolo
A few years ago, Guido seized an opportunity to farm a tiny sliver of Serralunga’s historic Vigna Rionda vineyard. He paid dearly for half an hectare of what is the Romanée-Conti of Serralunga, and his rendition of this hallowed site is worth every cent. This is a masterpiece...
