You have (or will) certainly notice a few changes at the club this month. Sure we have a flashy new web and some cool pictures to let everybody re-live those parties, but we also introduce a new supplier to our portfolio whom we are really excited about. Although Vino Vyhodne is relatively new to the Czech Republic, they have been around in Europe for quite some time and their portfolio… more
January 2015
January is kind of a crazy month for a wine club. All our members are thirsty as they drank all their stock (and then some) over the holiday and are dry. But, because they drank (and ate) everything, nobody "wants" to drink anything. We at IWCoK of course only believe the first half, and are ready to put some good goodness on your table. To make 2015 a fresh start,… more

Unbelievable how quick time flies. Not only is it already Christmas, but this is IWCoK's 4th Christmas. OMG - who would of thought that we would make it this far! Well, we DID and having all this experience we know that December has to have not only great wine, but also it has to be fancy. These December wines may well be on your Christmas table, and this means the perfect… more

Having worked in the “trade” all his professional life, we gladly accepted his time and expertise in selecting this months wines from Wine World. We hope you enjoy Roberto’s selection “Starting this cooperation with my friends at IWCoK, I want to start from the beginning. In the… more

This month we rediscovered an old favorite and at the same time found a treasure of great wine and food! It all started with an easy lunch date at Ichnusa Botega Bistro in Prague 5. Without question, the best Sardinian place in town and an old favorite of ours. If you don’t know Ichnusa, this is relaxed family style place with a revolving menu of whatever is fresh and… more

Back to school, Back to work, Back to real life – With so much reality around us, IWCoK went Bulgarian! Pretty simple really. 18 months ago when did our first Bulgarian wine box and it was a huge hit. Big, round reds and clean crisp whites that nobody expected, but everybody loved. So after the light and bubbly’s that we had in August, we wanted something a bit more serious… more

Finally time to break our the Vinho Verde ! After last years mega success with our Portuguese box, and particularly the Urbe Augusta vinho verde, we decided to not re-invent the wheel and play that record one more time! But of course it would not be fair if we did the exact same wines once again, so this time IWCoK sent thier “top agent” to a fancy Portuguese wine show… more

Everybody is off on holiday, us too. So when you don’t have time to go hunting around for a great deal, where better to look than right under your nose. All of us knew that Kosor is the HQ for the worlds’ finest wine club, but also to Eno Wines, Italian wine importer specializing solely on Tuscany and Veneto (for now….). Really, Eno is tucked away in the Kosor industrial… more

Question: What do you know about Romanian wines ? Odds are, the answer is not much or nothing if your being truthful . IWCoK to the rescue! First off, this is one of the oldest wine regions in history. Current day Romania has been making wine for over 6,000 years! The flat, warm is ideal for many varieties. A second fact is that Romania is the 10th largest wines producing… more

For our May box, we decided to keep things simple. For one thing, you will notice the new picture format for presenting the wines. Of course you can still find all the same info on the wines below the picture. And the our wines this month? We found some very classy regional winners. Simple fresh wines with scored very well both regionally and internationally. Nothing ostentatious, just a quiet confidence… more
