Box: July 2025
A la Liberte
Happy July folks and a month of celebration. Be it the 4th of July, Bastile day or simply the start of summer holidays, they are all great reasons to pour yourself a glass and sit outside and enjoy the warm weather. And the best way to celebrate our July “Liberation”? With a great bottle of wine from your IWCoK box of course.
Our whites start off with a light and refreshing Italian Pinot Grigio that is truly a summer standard. Moving up the latter we bring in a couple Chardonnay blends and a playful French cuvee from the region of Ardeche. Serve well chilled my friends and beat the heat!
Reds run a course through Italy and into France as well. These include some southern bombshells as well as a Super Tuscan, and a Fight for your Right red that is nothing short of revolutionary .
Enjoy the time off and the fireworks anywhere but in your glass.

An intense citrus filled white from the southern tip of Italy. This Sicilian white will go great with light, white fish (particularly if it is fried is olive oil). A crispy, salty, citrus match up.

Easygoing white from the south of France. Look for pears, a touch of citrus fruits and a little cassis. Playful, yet elegant and a great accompaniment to a special white fish dinner.

Fresh and vibrant. This is a bend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese that will do best to let breath of decant before drinking. Dark purple fruits and tones to blend with red meats and cheese.
