Join us on the second Thursday of every month for our monthly blind tastings and put your palate to the test! The month of June brings a special blind tasting theme: "Cabernet Sauvignon in Disguise.” Yes, we can tell you that the only grape predominately featured (hint: some of these wines could be blends!) in this tasting is a lineup of six Cabernet Sauvignons, but the real challenge is trying to guess where they're from!
These all-levels tastings are a fun and engaging way to deepen your wine knowledge—and drink delicious wine, of course! Using only your senses, you’ll attempt to identify the region, country, and even the vintage of these fantastic Cabs. Taste your way through this lineup from classic regions around the world, with expert guidance from our knowledgeable K&L staff.
Part game, part education, this experience has something for everyone—whether you're new to blind tastings, just starting your wine journey, or a seasoned enthusiast looking to sharpen your skills. Come one, come all!

As the sun lingers longer in the sky and with summer solstice only a week away, we're excited to open the doors to summer early with a glass of rosé in hand! This tasting brings together sparkling and still expressions that trace their roots from the limestone terraces of Cassis to the wind-swept hills of Rioja and the coastal vineyards of California. This tasting is your invitation to unwind, reconnect, and celebrate the upcoming season with a lineup of refreshingly vibrant rosé wines. Let the color, energy, and flavor of rosé set the tone for the sunny days ahead!

Whether you’re raising a glass to Dad or simply craving something bold in your glass, this tasting is all about celebrating with substance. These reds bring depth, character, and a little swagger—from mountain-grown Cabernet to classic Barolo to the sun-drenched soils of Barossa. It’s the perfect excuse to enjoy something big, expressive, and worth lingering over as summer approaches.
