This month we go south – Deep South. The kind of south only Chile and Argentina can bring to our tables. So back to our South American specialist Vicom for a tour de force of chardonnay, cabernet and Malbec. Start off with a simple pinot gris before exploring the deep reserva’s of chardonnay in his months box. Banana, pineapple and vanilla ever-present. Buttery and think with that fruity punch. To… more

Lets call this months wines a collection. A collection because these are wines we have been collecting in the IWCoK cave over the past few months. And why not. Sometimes we run into a wine just like that, we like it and we buy it without any idea what to do with it. Ohh, the wine club business can be so romantic… A familiar wine maker helps, Mas du Bagnol… more

There is nothing better to chase winter blues away then some warm, feel-good wines from the southern French countryside. Returning to this land with our old supplier and friends at Chez Greg makes it all the better! Rolling hills, big rocks and plenty of salt in the earth creates some fantastic flavors from one of the most beautiful parts of Europe. Leading the white wines this month is Le Triporteur,… more

What better way to start off the new year than with a box of Bio dynamic Spanish wines ! You didn't see that coming :-) . Indeed we start 2019 with a something new and exciting and with this months lack of sulfates, we can believe it is even a healthy first step into January. A "BIO January" wasn't our intention when we went looking in Spain, but after the… more

The story around our new supplier this month is an old one. Old in that we met for the first time over fives years ago, but never got "it" together. Lets just say we have both been busy... A real shame, because Foltyn Wines has a great portfolio from all over the world that we will try out this month. If anybody says white wines from Austria, these days they… more

Now that we have summer behind us, it is time to get back to the heat. The sun, sea and hills of Spain is our October destination. This time round we decided to concentrate all our white wines around the north of the country and on a single grape - Verdejo. Light, crisp and straw colored, this is a great wine for sipping in any weather. Offering a great balance of… more

Not yet winter, but summer is already getting ready to go. What better then to remember a few highlights of your holiday in Italy. And if you took a summer break in some other place this year, just pretend. For me the perfect Italian summer white is one thing - Trebbiano. With it's light color and taste, light alcohol level and just the right touch of acidity, this wine a… more

In this unusually hot summer, we all need something to keep us cool. Stay out of the sun, don't get bogged down in anything too heavy and drink light and refreshing wines! This is the IWCoK Survival strategy and it is brought to you from our friends at K2T. We decided to focus on Central Europe this August, and build a box around Riesling and Veltlin. Perfect white wines for… more

Indeed we are sooo predictable. Every summer the same thing, and every summer we love it. Of course this is Vinho Verde from Portugal! What better way to sit out the heat of summer than with light, low alcohol wines that are crisp and clean. Sometimes a little sparkle, others a bit more acidity, but always a delight. We have two Vinho Verde in this months box. The fist a… more
