| I guess I should say that KL has not been able to replace my bottle of Yquem yet.
When do I start worrying. | | | |

| K&L fought the good fight with some other retailers and a retail association and shipping resumed.
This was a very good thing for my champagne hoard. | | | |

| | So as if the site wasn't good enough before, K&L just completed a facelift! Seems like all the functionality we love is still there, but it looks a bit more "contemporary". I haven't done a lot of exploring to see the new functionality, if any, but kudos to K&L for keeping on top of things! | | | |

| | They lost some functionality such as sorting by different items when searching categories but are still working on it. Visually the site looks very clean. | | | |

| I too love K & L. Great pricing that retail in the midwest can't match...bought a case of 2003 Mondavi Oakville Cab* from them based purely on their price and the real-time, online inventory which reassured me I would receive my order in a timely fashion (at the time 2003 Mondavi Oakville Cab was $10.00+ more per bottle in the local market).
Also turned my parents onto their website - now they're members of the K & L wine club and have been quite happy with all of the wines they have received.
Anyways, I will continue to shop at K & L and even more so now after reading all of the good things others have to say about their business.
*I know, but I like Mondavi...at least in certain years, and the 2003 Oakville Cab is great. Maybe not RP 93, but definitely 90-92 last time I cracked one open. | | | |

| | I got an email from them a couple days advertising 2000 Bordeaux. Is the 2000 Latour really going for $1300 like at K&L?? | | | |

That's not too out of line. I received an email from another CA retailer a week ago looking to buy 2000 Bordeaux. Here's their retail pricing, and what they're offering for some of the wines. Makes those Costco purchases from a few years ago look real good ...

| Bumping up for the new year - K&L is still a good retailer in my book. They seem to do most things very right and their real-time inventory is a major plus. I never worry about receiving a UPS/FEDEX tracking number from them because it is in my account information as soon as they process the order.
Kudos. | | | |
