A New Best Old Friend

November 2015

Sometimes when we are out there “in the trenches”, doing our monthly wine hunt, we forget to look in the most obvious places. So after talking about partnering up with this months (new) supplier for year, we did just that. So with no further delay, we are happy to introduce this months partner Cellarius – possibly the oldest and most visible Vinoteka is all Prague. You may not know the… more 

IWCoK with the Winery of the Year

October 2015

It's true that we only do Czech wines when we find something truly special. This month we certainly have "something special" We are happy to present the  Winery of the year, Mikrosvin of Palava. The winery of the year award is not based on a single wine, but on he most points awarded across a portfolio. Be it a Chardonnay or a Welshriesling, they all count. And given they had… more 

France is just TOO SEXY

September 2015

For this September, I decided to skip the whole back to school rush and stress theme and go for something completely different. Get you mind off the wake up early and rush to school stress. This month is the sexy box! So what makes this box so sexy? Apart from some lovely wines from the South of France, a couple are really full of "l'amour". Be it the Vino Libido… more 

Portugal and VINHO VERDE

August 2015

It is a bit of a tradition at IWCoK that we dedicate August to Portuguese wines. Indeed the first year was just coincidence, but since than we know that Vinho Verde is the ultimate "cheap date" for hot weather and outdoor eating any day of the week. The light wine with just a few bubbles on the tongue never disappoints and wont dent your wallet (indeed a good thing if… more

Going South with Malbec

June 2015

I confess. I ignored Malbec for far too long. Having had only 1 Malbec in our box over the past year, I have decided to put things right this month with a selection of Malbec’s and other great South American wines from our new supplier, Open Wine. Malbec makes a great all round red that pleases just about everybody. Full and “Plummy”, it is normally easy to drink given its’… more 

Romantic May

May 2015

So what makes May's box so romantic. Well, we start with something a little exotic. Think of the hotty you see while you are on holiday, dark hair, dark eyes and a tattoo - dead sexy. Then zoom forward 25 years when you are settles and want something a bit more traditional. One that is well dressed and will look and be a fantastic companion at any age. Your part… more 

A Languedoc History Lesson

April 2015

A bigger wine producer than the US, and nearly 2,000 years of experience. Why don't we hear more about this region? Languedoc wine making started with the Greeks 500 years before Jesus was a word! Up until the 19th century (yes, after Jesus), the Languedoc was known for producing high quality wines that were even prescribed in Parisian hospitals because of their healing powers ( this is of course true,… more 

Unique journey from Africa to the Czech Republic

March 2015

Normally when we start to put the box together, I look for a theme. Be it a country, a grape or importer, we normally arrive at some common tread holding it all together. I guess this month's theme could be "Unique", as even I could not come up with a better description. First off, we did our shopping from 3 different suppliers. This gave us a huge plate to choose… more 

Gold Medal Spain

You have (or will) certainly notice a few changes at the club this month.

Although Vino Vyhodne is relatively new to the Czech Republic, they have been around in Europe for quite some time and their portfolio… more
