THE SUMMER EDIT: TOP PICKS ALL IN ONE PLACE July 2026 Every week we tell you what we love. This week, the tables turn: here's what you loved. Below are the twenty wines K&L customers bought more than any others in the first half of 2026—no scores required, no persuasion necessary, just the verdict of hundreds of thousands of corks pulled. Alongside them: our team's ten hand-picked features for July, and eight whites and rosés built for the season. Fifty years in, the best list we publish is still the one you write.
