Adventures on the Wine Route, 25th Anniversary Edition
by Kermit Lynch
Includes a new epilogue, bringing the narrative up to date, and a list of Kermit’s twenty-five most memorable wines.
Kermit’s book changed my thinking about wine. Colorful encounters with larger-than-life personalities, the primacy of the land and authenticity, plus a good dose of humorous anecdotes to keep you entertained. This book deserves to stay in print forever!” — Alice Waters
“One of the finest American books on wine.” — Eric Asimov, The New York Times
“Adventures on the Wine Route is the best book I’ve ever read about wine. Kermit Lynch is as brilliant a writer as he is a taster, and his quest for authentic wine is more relevant than ever.” — Jay McInerney
“I am simply thrilled by [Adventures on the Wine Route]. I am bowled over by [Kermit Lynch’s] blend of poetry and candour. What heaven-sent common sense.” — Hugh Johnson

Details: Nearly all wine books are written by experts whose intention is primarily to inform or to educate. They give little aesthetic pleasure. Kermit Lynch is certainly an expert, but his book, Adventures on the Wine Route, is also a great pleasure to read. I enjoyed it more than any other wine book I have read. - Roald Dahl |
Kermit once said...
For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
