K&L has cultivated the art of wine tasting into an everyday indulgence. Your first step into the warehouse-like wine shop is met with staff smiles and a relaxed community of wine appreciators mixed with the curious. The usual wine accoutrements are present such as books, a classic selection of crystal by Riedel and utilities like a Vinometer--you'd be surprised at the handiness of a wine thermometer for preserving taste. Whether you're an aficionado or a supermarket wine shopper, you'll leave here with an elevated appreciation for the art. 'Staff Picks,' complete with descriptions and personal opinions, are littered throughout all the different categories. K&L also keeps up on the latest in wine news, listing Wine Spectator's top picks and providing info on regional history. Wine club membership provides casual vinologists-in-training with at-home education via monthly newsletters; if you want the real thing, a number of wine tasting classes are offered on-site as well as at local wine bars.
