Grace Hood reviews the mostly French and Italian wine list at King, a small, intimate restaurant with a menu that is also inspired by southern France and northern Italy.

Grace explores the champagne list and a small production house that is celebrated by sommeliers. She offers alternatives to the more traditional choices in white, and explains why the Loire valley is a renowned region for whites and why the overlooked details, such as soil and climate, impact the wine in a big way.

Wines reviewed include:

  • 2017 Bereche Blanc de Blanc Beaux Regards
  • 2017 Saumur Blanc Domaine Collier
  • 2019 Montlouis Bournais from Francois Chidaine
