A Mid-Summer Wine's Dream: Our Italian Newsletter

In this week’s newsletter, we bring you new wines from Italy, a place where summer is nothing less than an artform. Surrounded by gorgeous coast on nearly all sides, with a country-wide practice of shutting down for vacation the entire month of August, you can find the majority of the populace escaping the cities for the beaches at this time of year. Though we may think of red-checkered tablecloths, spaghetti and meatballs, and wicker-basket Chianti when we think of Italian food, there is in fact a rich tradition of coastal cuisine based on seafood and dynamic, acid-driven whites. Italian Buyer Greg St. Clair has all that and more for you in these pages. From sparkling, dry, food-friendly Lambrusco to elegant and affordable Valpolicella from our new Direct Import producer, our maestro has the wine that’ll transport you to your own Italian daydream.

Greg will be live on Wednesday, August 11, at 12PM on Instagram Live @klwines, where he’ll get in depth with some of his favorite new bottles. With 40+ years of travelling to Italy, he has many a tale to tell. Bring your questions and comments for a fun chat celebrating Italia!
