With family roots in Chablis dating back to 1590, Domaine Séguinot-Bordet is one of the region’s oldest estates, known for producing classical wines that emphasize pure vineyard expression. The domaine’s Petit Chablis vineyards are located on the elevated plateaus around Maligny, where limestone-rich soils and cool exposures produce Chardonnay with vibrant acidity and distinctive chalky freshness. Jean-François Bordet’s restrained use of oak and focus on lees aging preserve the wine’s crisp citrus character and saline minerality, showcasing the energy and value that make Petit Chablis one of Burgundy’s great lesser-known appellations.

Wine Review Online - 100-points: "After tasting blind and arriving at a big score, I remember that I have given this particular bottling the big score in two previous vintages — 2015 and 2016 — and right out of the gate, this vintage appears to be in the same rarified air as those two wines. There is so much going on here, and it’s all just starting to show itself through the structured backbone. The Cabernet hallmarks are here, with lively blackberry and cassis, rich oak spice, crushed rock and earthy mineral notes that are an Atlas Peak signature, all fine tuned and beautiful. Dare I say this is a bargain when it comes to high end Napa Valley Cabernet? I do so dare — without reservation. Transcendent wine!"

William Harrison Vineyards & Winery is a small family estate in the Rutherford AVA of Napa Valley, founded by Bill Harrison, whose grandfather Antonio Perelli-Minetti was one of California's pioneering winemakers after immigrating from Italy in 1902. The seven-acre estate vineyard is planted to all five Bordeaux red varieties on Cortina series gravelly sandy loam soils against the eastern foothills of the Vaca Mountain range, with the first vintage produced under the Harrison label in 1993. After the winery recently changed hands, we acquired some of their wines at pennies on the dollar and we're passing the savings on to you! (Ryan Woodhouse - K&L Domestic Wine Buyer)

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Winemaker Kristin Bryden is proving to be a savant in the Burgundian grape game. This county cuvée is delicious from start to finish. Vibrant, fresh and juicy aromas of strawberry, Bing cherry and earthy chaparral lead from the nose into a grippy, energetic palate of red fruit and brown spices. *Editors' Choice* (MK)" (05/2024)

This 100% estate grown, Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs is made entirely with old Chardonnay selections from Mesnil, Cramant, and Oger. This is our number one most re-purchased Champagne, and it is often sold out! We have been working with Champagne Launois, located in the Grand Cru of Mesnil, for more than 16 years now, and they are our number one seller for good reason. Highly recommended.

This marks our inaugural rosé under Anonymous—and it’s nothing short of phenomenal. Mediterranean in spirit and crafted from Mourvèdre, this dry rosé comes from ancient, own-rooted vines planted over 120 years ago in the deep, sandy soils of Contra Costa County. These venerable vines have endured for more than a century thanks to those remarkably sandy soils, which are inhospitable to phylloxera and allowed them to survive when so many others did not. Naturally low-yielding, the old vines produce fruit of striking concentration, purity, and freshness. The grapes were gently pressed and fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel, then aged for four months on fine lees in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak to build texture and nuance without sacrificing vibrancy. The result is a beautifully expressive rosé brimming with bright, juicy red fruit, hibiscus, alpine strawberry, and hints of spiced citrus peel, all underscored by a crystalline minerality. Dry and refreshingly precise, it balances crunchy fruit, tactile texture, and layered depth, finishing zesty and mouthwatering. I’ll be drinking this all spring and summer long—it’s simply delicious. (Ryan Woodhouse - Domestic Wine Buyer K&L Wines)

94 points Vinous: "The 2021 Pinot Noir Ascona Vineyard is packed with dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice, incense and dried herbs. This imposing, dense Pinot packs a pretty serious punch. There is a wild, exotic quality here that is impossible to miss. (AG)" (10/2023) 94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Clean and fresh aromas of raspberry and pomegranate are enhanced by creekbed and mossy earth touches on the nose of this bottling from a vineyard that's at 2,350 feet. The palate is firm in structure, with a limestone-like texture that frames punchy flavors of raspberry and rose. (MK)" (09/2024)

A new release from the Anonymous Wine Collective - A Chardonnay from a truly world-class producer with decades of winemaking pedigree, and multiple 100-point wines from major critics.

Organically grown, certified Qualisud. Bargemone is among the foremost estates of the Coteaux d’Aix, a small fine-wine district in the larger appellation of Provence. A benchmark producer of the delicious, dry rosé for which Provence is famous, the Commanderie was founded by the Knights Templar in the 13th century and is home to a proud viticultural tradition with more than 160 acres of organically grown vineyards.

The 2021 Francophone by Daniel Baron brings together hand-selected fruit from top vineyards in Napa and Sonoma for a luxurious, classically styled Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich berry and dark chocolate notes unfold over a smooth, vibrant palate, with polished structure and a long, satisfying finish. Produced by a talented winemaker drawing on decades of experience, it captures the power, finesse, and complexity of two of California’s most celebrated regions.

Domaine Cherrier was founded in 1930. Since then four generations of the family have run the estate. The domaine has limestone and calcareous clay soils that wonderfully influence the character of the grapes grown there. The Sancerre is consistently delicious, with citrus, chalky minerality and light floral notes. Its dry finish complements seafood and cheese beautifully. K&L French Regional buyer Keith Mabry says: "The Cherrier to me is always one of the biggest crowd-pleasing Sancerres/Sauvignon Blancs from anywhere in the world."

98 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is a rather wondrous bottling, starting with juicy aromas of cherry that are expertly masked by dewy sagebrush notes that arise with persistence and poise. The snappy palate ranges from raspberry and cranberry to rose petal and hibiscus, and then that slow-rising wave of green sage and peppercorn makes for both delicious and intriguing complexity. (MK)" (04/2026) 94 points James Suckling: "A fresh, accessible, charming wine with good structure and pretty fruit flavors. Great balance and drinkability. So fresh and delicious. Drink now." (10/2024) 92 points Vinous: "The 2023 Pinot Noir Rinconada Vineyard is complex, deeply savory and loaded with floral/herbal complexity, but it packs that all into a suave, polished frame. Concentrated dark berry fruit, pomegranate, citrus zest and crushed rocks saturate the palate through the powerful finish. (BN)" (08/2025)

Ballard Canyon is an American Viticultural Area in Santa Barbara County, established in 2013 and located in the Santa Ynez Valley between Solvang and Los Olivos. The region's cool Pacific breezes provide diurnal temperature swings of up to 40 degrees, conditions that help shape its cool-climate Syrahs.

Overshine Wine Co. is a relatively new winery based in Healdsburg. The wines are crafted by renowned winemaker Sam Bilbro (Idlewild). Overshine seeks out truly special vineyards that produce distinctive wines. The goal is simple: let great sites and meticulous farming lead the conversation,  keep the winemaking simple and transparent, so the wines are pure, vibrant and authentic. The 2022 Overshine Tina's Block is from a parcel of vines planted over 100 year ago in the deep gravelly soils of Dry Creek. Predominantly Zinfandel, but with small percentages of other grapes interplanted in the ancient field blend. If you enjoy the wines of Ridge, Bedrock, Turley etc, you have to jump on this fast before it's all gone! (Ryan Woodhouse - K&L Domestic Wine Buyer)

From Bordeaux's Right Bank, Saint-Émilion is a Merlot-focused appellation, matching the varietal indicated for this bottling. The 2022 Bordeaux vintage was marked by a warm, dry growing season, with successful estates generally producing ripe, structured reds.

94 points Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Pinot Noir Rodnick Farm Vineyard is a radiant and translucent expression of this singular vineyard, leading with a perfumed yet savory nose that rapidly takes on further citrusy and saline complexity. Silky and ethereal on the palate, it explodes into a finish that elegantly melds weightlessly saturated fruits with persistent mineral intensity. This is a high point of a beautifully well-crafted roster. (ML)" (10/2024) 94 points Vinous: "The 2021 Pinot Noir Rodnick.Farm Vineyard shows all the savory mineral intensity that is so typical of this sector of the Gabilan Mountains. Bright red-toned fruit, crushed rocks, mint, white pepper, anise and orange peel are all beautifully delineated. This mid-weight, driving Pinot has a ton to offer. It's another compelling effort from Big Basin. (AG)" (10/2023) 93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Wines from Chalone often take a bit longer to emerge and then last forever in the bottle. This one begins with earthy aromas of tar and charred plum on the nose, then picks up orange peel, brighter plum flesh and wild chaparral on the palate. *Cellar Selection* (MK)" (09/2024) 91 points Wine & Spirits: "From an organic property on the western slopes of the Gabilan Range, this is foresty, with an earthy raspberry scent. The flavors are juicy and savory, as if pine and redwood oils had drifted on salt-laden winds from the coast. It’s got plenty of sun-warmed berry fruit, ending dry. " (03/2024)

94 points Vinous: "The 2021 Chianti Classico is a total knockout. Wild dark cherry, plum, incense, new leather and liquorice build as this deep, layered Chianti Classico shows off its beguiling personality. The 2021 is a gorgeous wine and also makes for a fabulous introduction to the range. (AG)" (07/2025) 90 points Decanter: "With vineyards straddling the border between Montefioralle and Panzano, Vecchie Terre di Montefili reaches heights of 550 metres. The annata is crafted from the estate’s younger vines averaging 25 years of age. It ages in 30-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks. An intensely balsamic nose brandishes grilled sage and rosemary with roasted coffee and dusty earth tossed in. Tight and concentrated, the palate does hint at red berry purity, but for now it is somewhat obscured by vigorous, drying tannins. It demands more time – and some serious protein. (MM)" (02/2025)

Halcon Estate is now owned by longtime friends and business partners Baron Ziegler and Pax Mahle. They continue the story of this unique vineyard site 2,500ft up in the Yorkville Highlands to make a singular expression of Syrah.

A long-running Salento estate, Cosimo Taurino helped bring serious attention to Puglia's estate-bottled reds in the late 20th century. Salice Salentino Riserva is traditionally based on Negroamaro, often with Malvasia Nera, and the Riserva designation reflects extended aging before release under the DOC rules.

72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Petite Sirah

95 points Vinous: "The 2021 Pinot Noir Coastview Vineyard is classic Big Basin. Deep, rich and resonant in the glass, the 2021 possesses notable depth and tons of character. Black cherry, plum, tea leaves, menthol, licorice and spice all soar out of the glass. This heady, imposing Pinot has so much to offer. I imagine it will be even better in another few years' time. (AG)" (10/2023) 95 points Wine Enthusiast: "A light hue in the glass, this bottling from a vineyard that sits at 2,200 feet in a newly designated appellation shows intense aromas of black raspberry, scarlet rose petals and peppercorn on the crunchy yet fruity nose. The palate is exciting and exuberant with fresh berry, white pepper, bay leaf and potpourri flavors that are wrapped in chalky tannins. *Cellar Selection* (MK)" (09/2024) 93 points Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Pinot Noir Coastview Vineyard leads with a focused, savory nose of red fruits, citrus peels, tobacco leaves and touches of underbrush. The palate is silky but with a solid amount of richness and stuffing, leading to a juicy, fragrant finish lined with a lifted, vibrant structure. While slightly less searing and complete than the Rodnick Farm bottling, this fantastic effort should reward nearly a decade of cellaring. (ML)" (10/2024)

A small, hand-crafted lot, that I put together with a renowned 100-point winemaker. A complex and layered estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc from 30+ year-old vines in the heart of Oakville. Fermented and aged in various vessels to build texture and complexity. 60% was aged in seasoned 500L French Oak Puncheon, 30% Clay Amphorae, and 10% Concrete. Delicious now, but with cellaring potential for 5-8 years. A very special expression of Sauvignon Blanc that is true to its Oakville pedigree. (Ryan Woodhouse - K&L Domestic Wine Buyer)

There is the appellation of Bandol with its plethora of producers, some good, some mediocre; and then there is Château Pradeaux, the unique, inimitable, standard bearer for this ancient wine-growing district. Pradeaux is situated right on the outskirts of the town of St. Cyr Sur Mer, which lies directly on the Mediterranean between Toulon and Marseilles. The estate is owned by the Portalis family, which has owned this property since before the French Revolution. The domaine is currently under the direction of Cyrille Portalis, who continues to maintain the great traditions of this estate. Although the majority of the vineyards are planted to Mourvèdre, the Château Pradeaux Bandol Rosé is composed of Cinsault and Grenache as well as Mourvèdre. After a short maceration on the skins, in order to extract a light color, the juice is fermented at low temperatures to retain freshness, fruit and bouquet. After being aged in stainless steel, the wine is normally bottled in the spring of the year following harvest. It is one of the richest of the rosés of France; dry but full-bodied with a floral bouquet. It is a very limited production wine, as most of the production at Château Pradeaux is used to make the formidable Bandol Rouge.

The result of nearly a year spent meticulously tasting through Bordeaux to uncover an exceptional deal at unbeatable pricing, we’re beyond excited to introduce the inaugural edition of what we’re calling the K&L Discovery Series. The aim of this new collection is to showcase wines that are both quintessential and exemplary representations of their region and/or vintage. This 2009 St-Emilion is an unparalleled value from one of the region's all-time great vintages, and one that you won't find anywhere else.

This has become a go-to favorite for customers and staff alike at K&L. Priced at a level that allows for corks to pop any time it suits you, the Montechiara phenomenon continues to gain followers by the day. See for yourself why this value sparkler is getting so much attention.

At the very top of the Haut-Médoc, embedded in a sea of gravel just next to the Gironde River north of St-Estèphe, sits the anomaly of the Left Bank: Château Coufran, the "Pomerol of the Médoc," so-called for its high propensity of Merlot vines in a region where Cabernet reigns supreme. While practically all of its Left Bank neighbors are making structured and powerful clarets, Coufran continues to make softer, silkier, classically tailored Right-Bank-style wines. Owned by the Miailhe family since 1924, the wine has been prized by those in the know for its early approachability and fantastic value, which is part of the reason it’s been a staple of K&L’s Bordeaux department for decades. Not only does the wine historically drink well at a younger age, it evolves beautifully over a five to ten year period. The 2009 is currently in a gorgeous spot, showing secondary development and complexity beyond the primary fruit of its youth.

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "This lively and lifted native fermented Cabernet jumps from the glass with aromas of dark cherry, tobacco and cedar. The palate is a ripe and brilliant wave of raspberry acidity, velvety tannin and rounded flavors of plum, espresso and black pepper. Lovely now, this will age gracefully for at least a decade. *Editors' Choice* (TRC)" (11/2025)

A VERY exciting addition to our Anonymous family, our first Zinfandel! And I couldn't be more excited about having a bottling sourced from the iconic and historic Pagani Ranch in Sonoma Valley! While we can't tell you who crafted this wine for us, the list of folks that can even get their hands on this revered, ancient vine fruit isn't very long, so you can probably take a pretty good guess. This stunning wine is 90% Zinfandel from the original 140-year-old block at Pagani Ranch planted in the 1880s. Then, completing the field blend are small amounts of 100-year-old Primitivo and Alicante Bouchet. The wine was aged for 20 months in a combination of French and American oak, 20% new, 80% seasoned. This wine is a perfect example of the ancient heritage vineyards found across California that are a truly unique and special part of our state's viticultural history. I'm so thrilled with this wine I can't wait to share it with you! (Ryan Woodhouse - K&L Domestic Wine Buyer)

92 points James Suckling: "A well-balanced, seductive and lively red with aromas of forest berries, red currants, warm herbs and some crushed peppercorns. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Juicy berry character with a lift of spices bringing energy and vitality on the palate and onto the tactile finish. " (07/2024) 92 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Red berry, dark spice, blue flower and whiffs of botanical herb form the nose on the elegant 2022 Felsina Beradenga. On the smooth, savory palate, supple tannins seamlessly support juicy Morello cherry, raspberry and white pepper before a soothing licorice finish." (07/2024) 91 points Vinous: "The 2022 Chianti Classico Berardenga is superb. Rich and deep yet also quite translucent, the 2022 is an archetype of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Black cherry, leather, spice, tobacco, menthol and dried herbs inform this potent, super-classic Chianti Classico. This is beautifully done, especially for the year. (AG)" (07/2024) 91 points Decanter: "At the southeastern end of Chianti Classico, the Fèlsina property spills into the Chianti Colli Senesi zone where, on a clear day you can see all the way to Siena, just 15km away. Harnessing its sunbathed setting, the 2022 is immediate and effusive in its charms. It evokes Maritime pine, scrubby Mediterranean brush and wild yellow broom, building in concentration as it glides fluently across the palate, where rocky minerals meet ripe strawberry. Vibrant, if a bit brisk to finish. (MM)" (02/2024) 90 points Wine Spectator: "Walking the line between cherry and berry flavors and earth and iron notes, this red is bright and juicy midpalate, firming up on the long finish. Balanced overall, needing a year to knit together. (BS)" (10/2024)

Produced from Loureiro and Pederña grapes grown in the granitic soils of the Vinho Verde region, the Santola (or as we here are calling it, "the crab wine") is a delicious, spritely, and refreshing white. It doesn't get much more traditional, thirst-quenching, or seasonally perfect than this wine. Delicious, low in alcohol, slightly fizzy, and way too easy to drink!

The Etz family has been in the wine business since 1898, and the estate is now in the 4th generation. With nearly 40 hectares of vineyard in production, the Etz estate prides itself on synthesizing the modern and the traditional. Their goal is to offer wines that show themselves from vineyard to bottle entirely in harmony with nature and the environment, from parcels planted around the famous wine-town Strass. Gaisberg, Galgenberg (that's the gallows-hill, folks), and Wechselberg are among the famous vineyard names to be found in the Etz collection. The Etz brothers place their emphasis on a peppery and spicy style of Grüner Veltliner - exclusively fermented in super-stainless steel tanks. Temperature controlled fermentations are conducted with indigenous as well as cultured yeast, depending on the demands of the individual lot. Time resting on the fine-lees adds complexity and polish to the wine.

76% Tempranillo, 24% Mourvedre

The majority of this wine comes from Greengate Ranch in Edna Valley plus fruit from all of Talley's estate vineyards in Arroyo Grande Valley. Fermented with native yeast in small, open-top tanks, aged in 20% new French oak for 10 months. One of the best deals in Californian Pinot Noir. Certified Sustainable fruit.

William Harrison is a small estate in Rutherford. With Bordeaux varietals growing on their estate, their Chardonnay is sourced from the Sangiacomo Family in the much cooler region of Carneros. This renowned grower produces some of the most sought-after Chardonnay in the region, supplying the biggest names in the business. After the winery recently changed hands, we acquired some of their wines at pennies on the dollar and we're passing the savings on to you! (Ryan Woodhouse - K&L Domestic Wine Buyer)

K&L has been direct importing Cava from Mas Codina for well over a decade, and over that time they have developed a loyal fan base — and with good reason, as these are possibly some of the best-value sparkling wines we stock. While Cava from Penedès, the historic heart of sparkling wine production in Spain, is dominated by a handful of large corporate producers, small family-run wineries like Mas Codina continue to swim upstream, steadfastly devoted to producing high-quality, traditional method sparkling wines at very reasonable prices. The estate comprises just 40 hectares in the cool-climate Alt Penedès sub-region and was first established in 1681, passed down through the decades and now managed by brothers Toni and Jordi Garriga. While previous generations sold their fruit to larger wineries, in 1985 the then 17-year-old Toni began bottling wine at the estate. Since then, numerous improvements to the estate have been made, including organic certification, and the wines have never been better – each shipment we receive just seems to improve upon the last. Each wine is made from 100% organic estate-grown fruit, and all winemaking, bottling and aging is likewise done onsite. The Brut Nature Gran Reserva is 40% Macabeo, 30% Xarel-lo, 20% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir and is aged for 30 months before disgorgement. Just 11.6% alcohol, the wine has a dosage of less than 1.5 g/L.

Located in the beautiful medieval hilltop village of Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa, Casa Juan is a small, family-owned winery that consistently produces aged Riojas that are honest, detailed and soulful expressions of the region. They are also some of most sensibly priced wines in the region, with the quality far outpacing their modest prices, which is why Casa Juan remains one of the most popular wineries we import directly, with a loyal and growing fanbase. The winery's origins trace back to the first half of the 20th century, when it occupied a historic underground cellar built beneath what had once been Laguardia's old flour mill. Its modern chapter, however, began in 1995 when Ángel Escudero and his wife, Araceli Sanchís, purchased and restored the historic winery while carefully preserving its traditional character. Today, Angel, along with his siblings (CArmen, SAntiago, JUlio and ANgel = Casa Juan) run the simple yet functional bodega, along with slightly under 30 hectares of vineyards they help to farm primarily themselves with no herbicides or pesticides. The wines typically contain mostly Tempranillo, with up to 15% Mazuelo. Most of the vineyards are mature, averaging around 45 years old, with some vines up to 100 years old. Primary fermentation occurs always with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, where the wines are eventually racked to barrels, which are used up to seven years and consist primarily of American oak.

Named after the Duke of Joyeuse - the 16th-century nobleman granted the lordship of Limoux by Henry III - Anne de Joyeuse is a cooperative rooted in the history and terroir of Limoux. Today, the cooperative unites 350 winegrowing families who collectively farm 3,200 hectares of vineyards across the region. The "VERY" Chardonnay is all from grapes planted over clay-limestone. It is hand harvested, strictly sorted and undergoes fermentation in 220 liter barrels. It sees about 2 months of battonage (lees stirring) and ages for a total of 4 months in barrel before bottling. The wine shows aromas of white peach, lemon peel and brioche. It is generous on the palate and is a classic pairing for all foods that love a good Chardonnay.

As Laxas is a family-owned winery located in the Condado do Tea sub-rehion of Rías Baixas in Galicia, northwest Spain, specifically in the town of Arbo along the banks of the Miño River. This is the most interior of all the Rias Baixas sub-regions, leading to fuller-bodied, more exuberant styles of Albariño. The estate sits in a landscape of granite soils and rolling, river-carved terrain that strongly influences the freshness of its wines. The winery’s origins date back to the mid-to-late 19th century, with winemaking activity documented on the estate long before modern commercial production began. As Laxas officially began commercial production in the mid-1970s and quickly became one of the pioneering estates in the region. The winery was among the early members involved in the creation of the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin (DO) in the 1980s, playing a role in establishing the standards that define Albariño production today. Over time, the estate has grown significantly, now farming dozens of hectares of vineyards—primarily Albariño, with smaller plantings of other native Galician varieties—spread across estate-owned and locally sourced parcels.

93 points James Suckling: "Lovely transparency to this, with subtle honeysuckle, lemon rind and honey in the nose. It's medium-bodied with a refined texture and beautiful length. Real white Burgundy for the money. Drink now." (05/2025) 90 points Wine Spectator: "Peach, almond, toasty oak and earth notes highlight this plush white. Backed by lively acidity that drives the spicy, bitter citrus finish. Shows fine balance and length. Drink now through 2028." (12/2025) 90 points Decanter: "There’s an appealing Granny Smith apple and nectarine fruit aroma with a hint of white blossom on the initial attack. The texture is surprisingly fresh for the vintage, and the finish is elegantly lovely – astonishing quality given the volume of production.(CC)" (05/2025) Jasper Morris: "In bottle. 200,000 bottles. One third made in tank, two-thirds in barrel. Pale colour with a faint lime streak. There is a minor reduction with the intention of maintaining freshness, and the nose does seem to be just a little leaner than before. Not as concentrated as 2022 for example, but still with persistence. A little citrus wash at the back. Drink from 2025-2028. " (01/2025) Burghound: "A riper but still attractively fresh and bright nose reflects mostly notes of various what orchard fruit and a more subtle citrus nuance. The generously proportioned, round and seductively textured flavors culminate in an agreeably clean, dry and balanced, if not particularly complex finale. This too should drink well young." (06/2025)

Maison Joseph Burrier traces its lineage back over 17 generations of winegrowers in Burgundy, with roots in Beaujolais noted as early as 1407. By the mid-19th century, the family acquired Château de Beauregard near Solutré, establishing a base in Pouilly-Fuissé. Today, the domaine encompasses vineyards across Mâconnais and Beaujolais, including holdings in Fuissé, Vergisson, and Moulin-à-Vent. Maison Joseph Burrier operates both as a domaine and négociant, producing estate wines alongside selections from trusted growers.

Wine Advocate's Neal Martin writes: "La Chablisienne is one of Chablis’ most high-profile cooperatives and a great success story. Founded back in 1923 and still going strong, it is said that they oversee approximately one-quarter of the region’s production, around 300 individual growers. Therefore, just like Georges Duboeuf in Beaujolais or Louis Jadot in the Cote d’Or, it is important that they maintain standards irrespective of high volumes, since their size ensures that they have an ambassadorial role for Chablis, for ordinary punters perhaps seeking to broaden their horizons."

A top-tier Vino Nobile di Montepulciano that typically commands $25 elsewhere, secured exclusively for our Discovery Series. Out of the hundreds of wines tasted in Tuscany every year, this is the bottle that stood out. We aren't just looking for standard quality; we're hunting for electric tension, pinpoint precision, and the true soul of Montepulciano. We can't reveal the iconic estate behind the label, but this structurally flawless Sangiovese speaks with striking clarity.

95 points Decanter: "Soft herbal accents join ripe bramble fruit and perfumed floral notes on the nose - aromatically appealing. Supple and alive, great energy from the start here with vibrant acidity giving this a lifted expression. Tannins are chalky and supportive, coating the mouth in flavour and texture and carrying the strawberry, red cherry and plum fruit to a long finish. Extremely well executed with focus and elegance as well as complexity and character. A touch of dried herbs and tobacco join the palate with mint and lovely terroir markers of iodine, slate, graphite, a bloody tang and mint. Sleek and streamlined this is a great wine with plenty of ageing potential. Can be opened now to enjoy the finesse in its youth but will no doubt improve over the next 5-15 years. 5% Malbec completes the blend. Indigenous yeasts for spontaneous fermentation, ageing for 12 months mostly in one use barrels. (GH)" (01/2025)

Made by Olivier Bonville at Champagne Franck Bonville, this is flat out one of the greatest brut sans année offerings we have ever had at K&L. The Maison 76 is all chardonnay, purely from the grand cru of Avize in the center of the Côte des Blancs. Here the pure Belmnita chalk gives us wines that combine richness with freshness and minerality with attractive baguette toast. This wine is a full 60% reserves and dosed very low at just 5.8 grams per liter. It has been aged for three years on the lees. - Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer

Every so often, a vintage comes along that is destined for legend. For Barolo, 2016 is one of those years. This wine captures the regal spirit of this celebrated vintage, sourced from a producer known for blending tradition with modernity. By sourcing from top sites, including in the powerful village of Castiglione Falletto, this wine paints a complete picture of a modern classic with the structure to age for decades.

Welcome to "Rendez-Vous," our newest K&L private label. This latest addition to our lineup fulfills the promise K&L has always strives to deliver: exceptional quality wines that reflect the authenticity of their place, producer, and varieties - all at a price that makes sense. This inaugural release comes from our longtime friends in the Southern Rhône, Dauvergne et Ranvier. While they farm excellent holdings throughout the region, this particular blend is sourced from the more prestigious Côtes du Rhône Villages appellation. A step above standard Côtes du Rhône, these higher-ranked sites produce fruit at lower yields, resulting in greater concentration and character. After a series of blending trials, we landed on a beautifully Syrah-dominant cuvée. Composed of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache, it captures all the inviting hallmarks of a classic Rhône blend, delivering vibrant red fruit and layered spice with impressive depth and approachability.
