On Rice and Friendship
by Joanie Bonfiglio
When we arrived home from the airport that night, even after traveling all day, Camillo and Antonella insisted on making dinner. I was familiar with the basic premise of risotto, but in my house growing up, it was strictly a special occasion meal. I was raised in the era of microwave dinners and Pop-Tarts, the philosophical opposite of the slow, patience-testing process required by risotto. Camillo assured me his was nothing special: nothing but an everyday meal…
View the CollectionFruits de Mer / Frutti di Mare
by Anthony Lynch
Let’s take a moment to appreciate seafood. Its exquisite flavors, so evocative of the deep blue and its endless wonder, take on myriad forms with the diverse varieties of crustaceans, mollusks, and fish we have come to know. The French expression fruits de mer, or frutti di mare in Italian, is fittingly evocative, as if the ocean were an enormous blue garden full of heavenly fruits waiting to be plucked and bitten into…

by Tom Wolf
You might think of the 2024 vintage as the Beaujolais’ Tiny Desk Concert rather than its Super Bowl. These wines might not overpower you with the amps, light shows, and special effects of other recent, solar vintages, but they can still dazzle and charm you in other creative, elegant, and intimate ways...

by Anthony Lynch
In 2016, KLWM sent a fearsome trio to Sardinia to scout the island’s wines: Kermit, the taster; Gail, the photographer; and Anthony, the chauffeur and translator (alright, I did some tasting too, mind you). Amid a sea of ordinary wines, we sampled a Vermentino that immediately stood out for its authentic character...
View the CollectionLa Famille Quenard
by Jane Augustine
The Quenard family’s long history in the Savoie doesn’t begin with André, but his arrival at the domaine in 1944 marks a turning point in the family’s legacy. When André took over their polyculture farm in the village of Chignin, the wines were still sold only by the barrel to café owners. Around 1960, with a deep-seated belief in the quality of his terroir—before Chignin’s AOC designation in 1976—he began bottling his own wines, championing the steep scree slopes of Torméry, and helping to establish the reputation of an entire winegrowing region along the way...
