Muga Vineyards

From the vineyards of Minho, spanning from the Douro River to the Galician border, to the salty shores of Rias Baixas and inland to the stunning landscapes and old wineries of Rioja, the Iberian Peninsula is a haven for world class wines that don’t cost world class prices. The top wines of Spain and Portugal compete with the best wines in the world yet remain a fraction of the price, even when released aged and ready to drink.

Branaire-Ducru Chai

Bordeaux is undoubtedly one of the greatest wine regions in the world with one finicky problem: they often require years, if not decades, of age to develop the layers of complexity and show their true greatness. Since its early beginnings, K&L has set out to solve that issue, and we pride ourselves on our ever evolving and always extensive collection of cellar-aged Bordeaux that is ready for consumption.
