New Arrivals
When it comes to new arrivals here at Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, the last few weeks have brought us a flurry of exciting bottles from France and Italy. We’ve received some of our greatest values from Italy, beautiful Alsatian Pinot Noir, the newest vintage of Côte-de-Brouilly from Nicole Chanrion and Château Thivin, and Punta Crena’s beloved bottlings from the Ligurian coast, among other selections. Every week, we’ll be adding a dozen or more new arrivals, so check back often for your favorite classics or new discoveries!
Wines In The Collection
Punta Crena Italy | Liguria
Lean, bracing, and tangy—just what you want when digging into a plate of fried calamari.
Punta Crena Italy | Liguria
A delightfully crisp seaside quaffer that transports us to the Mediterranean coast with bright, lemony freshness and sea-breeze salinity.
Punta Crena Italy | Liguria
Supremely crisp and mineral, this is an ideal representation of this coastal region and perfect for seafood.
Punta Crena Italy | Liguria
Crack it open now; aromas of tart blackberries and mint will waft out of the bottle, a perfect reminder of summer and outdoor grilling.
La Marca di San Michele Italy | Le Marche
It’s both inviting––it makes for a lovely apéritif––and angular, prime to accompany lemony pasta dishes, clams, or flavorful and rich vegetarian lasagnas.
La Marca di San Michele Italy | Le Marche
A luscious Verdicchio with layered textures that white Burgundy lovers chase after.
Nicole Chanrion France | Beaujolais
Loads of fun—juicy, round, structured, yet always elegant and focused. A classic favorite.
Château Thivin France | Beaujolais
Brambly and mineral, this bottling exudes both the convivial charm of Gamay and the crunchy intensity of the Côte de Brouilly.
Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace
If you don’t recognize Félix Meyer’s touch from the rich aromas of lychee, candied ginger, and rose petals, you will by the time you finish your first glass.
Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace
Wearing a distinctive terroir stamp of Alsace: deep, spicy, resinous, and reminiscent of a walk in the forest after a rain.
Kuentz-Bas France | Alsace
Bone-dry on the palate, it features intense, clean aromas with excellent minerality.
Albert Boxler France | Alsace
The brilliance of this site is its ability to produce sumptuously rich and perfumed Pinot Gris that maintains a vibrant acidity and stony backbone.
Il Palazzotto Italy | Piedmont
Supple, pretty notes of freshly crushed blackberries and raspberries—it will pair well with pretty much anything.
Éric Chevalier France | Loire
This exquisite Muscadet is a perfect reflection of where it originates, as if it’s been sculpted by winds off the ocean and infused with hints of sea salt in the air.
Piero Benevelli Italy | Piedmont
It is bone-dry with aromas of dark forest berries, with a finish that is both grippy and slightly frothy. Pair this zippy red with salami.
La Soeur Cadette France | Burgundy
The grape is better known as the Loire Valley’s delicate, citrusy Muscadet, but grown in the land from whence it’s named, it takes on lovely length and texture.
Domaine Tempier France | Provence
While it sports plenty of dark bramble, mulberry, and plum skin, it’s tempered by a fresh bite of blood orange and violet.
Domaine Ludovic Engelvin France | Languedoc-Roussillon
At once similarly saline and nutty as vin jaune or sherry, but also singular and standalone in its notes of watermelon flesh and rind.
Domaine Jolivet France | Northern Rhône
Golden, luscious aroma and flavor, a delicious nectar infused with honeysuckle that invites you in at first sniff for a leisurely dip.
Régis Bouvier France | Burgundy
This single-vineyard Pinot Noir is what drinking great Burgundy is all about.
Steiger-Kalena Italy | Molise
There’s a quality that almost feels mouth-cleansing; like a spoonful of zesty citrus sorbet in the middle of a multi-course meal.
Yves Leccia France | Corsica
Leccia's earthy, delicious island-mountain wine is fun, accessible and pairs with anything from fish stew to pasta to lounging in the park.
Antoine-Marie Arena France | Corsica
A beautiful example of Biancu Gentile, an heirloom white grape revived from near-extinction by Arena in the 1990s.
Domaine Robert Chevillon France | Burgundy
If you look closely in cellars throughout Burgundy, you’ll notice many of the greatest domaines continue to uphold this tradition.
Italy | Liguria

Never Underestimate Muscadet
Muscadet, the white wine made from Melon de Bourgogne near the city of Nantes along France’s northern Atlantic coast, is the ultimate quaffer: bone-dry, low in alcohol, and bracingly crisp, its ability to quench one’s thirst or wash down salty sea creatures is unparalleled…
Giulia Negri: The Future of Barolo
It was a swampy summer afternoon in Beaune (yes, it does get hot in Burgundy from time to time) when I first tasted Giulia Negri’s wines. Not the ideal conditions to best appreciate young Barolo, you might think, and you’re entirely right—a kir or an ice-cold pilsner would have been a more refreshing choice that day. But being professionals, my colleagues and I did our due diligence…
Rosé Sale
One month into 2025, my strongest resolution has been a renewed commitment to cook more. I chalk my hot streak up to a wealth of quick and easy recipes I’ve stumbled upon, but what helps even more is the fridge full of inspiring, ready-to-pair rosés I keep on hand…
Spotlight on Domaine de Durban
The Leydiers of Domaine de Durban are now among our longest-standing partners and, while for the first two decades, we imported only their Muscat, a luscious pre- or post-dinner nectar, today, we also import a handful of cuvées that represent some of the greatest values in the entire Rhône Valley...
The Natural World of Thierry Germain
Not long after settling in Saumur in the nineties, Thierry Germain started farming organically, and soon thereafter, he embraced biodynamics. It resonated with him that a holistic approach, with ethical and respectful practices in the vineyard and toward those who helped him work the land (animal and human), was crucial to making the best possible wines…
A Rare Find in the Northern Rhône
Kermit was one of the first American buyers to recognize the potential in the appellation of Saint-Joseph, the series of rolling granite hills on the west side of the Rhône River between Ampuis (Côte-Rôtie) and Tournon-sur-Rhône (Hermitage) planted to Syrah.
A New Era for the Bouvier Family
There’s something so rare and refreshing when a Burgundy family, once divided into multiple domaines, reunites after many years. After a few decades of pursuing their own projects, brothers Régis and Bernard Bouvier recently merged their vineyards under the domaine named for their father, René, following Régis’s retirement...
The Carpe Vinum Collection
An ever-changing offering of wines that are just about to sell out; one last opportunity to seize a range of selections before they disappear from our shelves forever.
50th Anniversary Merchandise
When the esteemed French wine artist Michel Tolmer created beautiful artwork for our 50th anniversary, we knew right away that we had to feature it on a few select items of merch. After spending maybe a little too much time researching the options, we landed on a classy, leather-strap cap, a comfortable t-shirt made from 100% cotton, and a tote made with incredibly sturdy, fair-trade, and organic cotton by a certified B corp that invests in the livelihoods of women and farmers of India, featuring three wine sleeves and two other compartments for all of your other needs!
