Nothing Plain about Spain

September 2016

September is a tough month. Holidays behind us, kids back to school and still some super hot days and already chilly nights. So how best to acclimate to “Real Life” once again ? Spanish wine of course ! What better than some fresh flowery whites to have outside in the last days of summer, and something a big, bold and robust in those already dark evenings ? Given that Spanish… more 

Surprisingly Rich

August 2016

It is once again that time of year for our Czech box and this time we have gone back to where we started. Many of you "old timers" will remember our first Czech wines from Tichy winery from the village of Hrusky.  This time we went back and just moved over to the next plot to another family winery Capka. Why Capka ? What convinced me were 2 wines. First… more 

Oliviera

July 2016

What would summer be without "Probably" the best summer wine in the world ? You guessed it, it is once again time to go back to our friends at Oliviera and bring you a fresh selection of Vinho Verde and some delicious red wines from Portugal.  And knowing where to find great quality at a fair price, we are for the 3rd year back to Obchod Oliviera (looking for a… more 

Back to the beginning

June 2016

Who would of thought, that we would still be at this gig after 5 years?! Even believing that we tapped into something really big (haha), thinking that we would still be here while keeping our day jobs and family all happy (they haven’t said anything to me yet…) was a stretch of the imagination. Just shows to go, there is nothing more tenacious than a wine club owner.  Yep, one… more 

Spanish Islands

May 2016

When somebody mentions Spanish Islands, what comes to mind? Raves on Ibiza ? A very long flight with Travel Servis to the Canaries ? I don't think any of us would say "Wine", but this is where we are going in May - the vineyards of Mallorca. Wine growing on Mallorca start with Romans even before Jesus had his first glass, and even though prohibited by the Koran during Moorish… more 

Rich pickings

April 2016

Lets ride out the last days of winter with something rich and full bodied on the table. Where we find it may surprise you. Big and bold Austria !?! Believe it. I can not remember when I have tried a fuller bodied Veltlin than the Roter Veltiner in this months box. Be it the slope, sun or just that bit of residual sugar, I don’t know, but it was a… more 

Near and Far

March 2016

Matching up Czech and Brazilian wines in one box may sound like a crazy idea at first, but that is only if you don't know Jan Neubauer and Maryna Omská - two wine pros bringing these two ends of the earth together. Near - many of you will recognize the labels from Arte Vini, and maybe even the tasting we did at Na Konce a couple of years back. Coming… more 

Strictly Bordeaux

February 2016

With all the mania around Star Dance, we decided to do something very classy this month and celebrate the the Ball season with some high end drop. So in the name of all those celebrity dance programs that nobody actually admits they watch apart from your mother, we introduce the IWCoK version of the Opera Ball - "Strictly Bordeaux". Few would argue that Bordeaux is the most famous and valued… more 

Balkan Style

January 2016

Every January all the worlds marketing experts have the same job: to come up with that special reason why 2016 is going to be even better and brighter than all that fun we had last year. In the case of IWCoK, this is just sooo easy. What better way than to start off the new year "Balkan Style" with a box full of Slovenian and Bulgarian wines ? I can… more 

Holiday Spice

December 2015

Happy holidays everybody. Yes the time of the year when we get to sleep in, clean up after house guest and live through the stress of finding AAA batteries for the kids new thing on Christmas morning. And of course, the time to enjoy a quality drink with friends and family. This years holiday box takes a little different angle. Where the last 3 years we had always concentrated on… more
