Raj Parr sits down with the most important man to introduce French wine (especially from the Rhône and south of France) to the United States. Kermit Lynch began his pursuit in Berkeley, CA in the 1970s and brought to American palates the finest examples of Rhône, Beaujolais, and Burgundy ever tasted stateside. His thoughtful newsletters, insistence on refrigerated shipping containers, demanding unfiltered wines, and his uncompromising palate have made him a legend. His pursuits have inspired generations of wine importers.
