Sharon and I took our show on the road again, this time visiting Dragonette Cellars and Peake Ranch in the Sta. Rita Hills. My Vans squished in the mud; my hair blew in the wind. Patton poured us tasting samples of their wine, John talked to us about the vines, and I felt that this is the exact reason to love wine—to connect with people and to feel places in your bones.

Vintage Reports
Extensive notes from our buying trips.
If there is one time of the year that we break out our best, it’s December. The china gets pulled out, the silver is polished and those bottles that have been stashed away for special occasion finally get opened. All this decadence got me thinking about our library wines at K&L. Although relatively small, it is perhaps one of the more exciting categories of wines that we sell. These are cult classics, old wines and rare bottlings. These are the really exciting wines that always seem so unattainable, but it turns out, with a little money to spend, they’re pretty easy to get. To find out more, I visited Molly Zucker, our Library Wine Department Director.
We found one of our old favorites at a new bottler of Armagnac. Easily one of the world’s greatest brandies, once thought to have been lost to the blenders, has resurfaced and is changing the way people see the special brandy of Gascogne. A benchmark bottling that cannot be missed.

Looking for a special wine for a host gift? @rachelalcarraz recommends Leviathan. “Made by Cult Cab King, Andy Erickson, the former winemaker for Screaming Eagle, Harlan and Spottswood, this big Napa Valley Cab blend is a steal at under $45.” #holidaywine #napavalley #cabernetsauvignon #merlot #syrah #cabernetfranc #klwines #instawine
