September 2023
Time to go back to work. As much fun and relaxation as we had, the reality is summer is over and the winter coats in the shops don’t look so ridiculous anymore. To help with the depression, we are here with a variety of French wines that will sooth you over the back to “X” hump 😊 Our whites are a combo of varietal Sauvignons and cuvees on a sauvignon… more
August 2023
Summer came, and summer is gone. Hope you all got the chance to get a break. The IWCoK team was of course BUSY searching out new wines and locations that we can bring to your table, and a hint of what you can expect for the fall is already included here. Our whites are a mix of your summer outdoor eating expectations (vinho verde, pinot grigio) and some lesser known… more
July 2023
A summer holiday in Italy is a staple for many of us. And on the list of destinations, we visit is certainly a pass through the rolling hills of Tuscany and its’ capital Florence. Get ready for a virtual visit this month of the finest grapes of the region. What makes this region special ? It is something that has driven wine making here dating back to the 8th century… more
June 2023
The best thing about going into the summer holiday time is that feeling of not having to rush. The temperature goes up and our minds wonder off to planning that trip to the sea. And what better to make that plan than over a glass of wine at the end of the day. To facilitate this “one” glass (every day of the week), we added a few bottles this month… more
May 2023
Before anyone gets upset that our May box is a “Millennial” thing, relax. But going natural may well have found a (tasty) elixir of life. Natural wines are far from a few trendy producers. Everyone is getting in on the game. New entrants and long-established quality producers that never thought it necessary to say how they went about their business. Saying that you are Natural, Bio and even a Vegan… more
April 2023
For Easter this year, we took on two themes. First was France from where we fill our box, and the second was Fresh, like the clear skies of spring. Plenty inside for a feast this Easter. We split our whites from the South and west of Bordeaux, then finished up with two phenomenal Sauvignons from the Loire. Crisp and full of that mineral “slate” taste that makes them so distinct.… more
March 2023
We get to “Get you Motor Running” this March. We are all about Rock and Roll this month all wrapped up in a blanket of love. When you run into to the winery WNR (Wine and Roses), it is something you can’t ignore. And once they have your attention, the list of hardware (awards) they have is the deal maker. Read their stories on the Aperittivo where you learn how… more
February 2023
February is a Golden Tuesday (at least the Golden bit is accurate..) Our February box is full of Prague Gold medal winners. Lots to look forward to. Our white’s this golden 2nd month of the year concentrate on Veltin. Two Austrian entries (we all agree, they do the best Veltlins of anyone) bring two different styles, one fruitier, and the second more full of mineral flavour. This months “out pf… more
January 2023
The start of ANOTHER year with IWCoK. Yes baby, we are going into year twelve with a focus on two big F’s. France and Fresh. Fresh because I found a couple fantastic Sauvignon Blanc that really hit the mark for their price. I love that crisp, peachy and mineral filled flavour that gives you the feeling your mouth has been ‘detailed’. Super clean. And what better than after cleaning up… more
December 2022
Where does the time go ? Another Christmas holiday is on our doorstep and I still haven’t finished all the books I received last year. We did manage to finish all the wine though… So, if you are like me, we are in luck. December brings a new selection of delights for your holiday table. What did we do special for this December box ? Honestly – EVERYTHING. We are… more
