Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant

Roger Mastrude

Kermit is a great merchant. I've been doing business with him since he worked as a wine clerk for somebody else, 40 years ago. I bought a bottle of Cote Rotie from him for $4.95. (It costs $70 now.) I don't agree with all of his tastes, and he's a Yankee merchant who will skin you if he can, but he's brilliant. His secret, as some wine reviewer once said, is that "he trusts his own taste." He has wines that cost, and are I suppose worth, over $200/bottle. But what's appealed to me all these years since I was a starving grad student, is that he finds really good, inexpensive wines, , $10 - $22, in unusual places like Corsica, (which is legendary for adulterated and vile wines.) Go in to the shop and ask the clerk to fill a case with 12 different wines, none more than $22. Give him some idea what you like. Then taste the wines. You'll know what to do.

What a great shop, loads of wines in so many varieties. Absolutely fabulous staff, always ready to answer questions or offer suggestions as needed. It definitely doesn't hurt that Acme bread is next door either 😉

Eric Rector

The absolute greatest retailer of honest European wines in the US. They constantly seek out the best values in premium artisanal wines to satisfy the casual drinker as well as the wealthy oenophile. Just read "Adventures on the Wine Route"!

We are newer members of the Adventures Kermit Lynch wine club but have been really happy with the wines and customer service so far. We get 2 wines per month, one red and one white. There is a write up that talks about the wines, the region and the winemaker. You also get a recipe from Christopher Lee although some of the recipes are bit too complicated for me to make. ;) If you are looking to try some really interesting varietals from interesting regions in France and Italy, give Kermit Lynch a try. Wines don't have to be super expensive although Kermit Lynch also carries that as well. Customer service is also top notch. Dustin is our main contact and he is really on top of things.
