So who is
Kermit Lynch? Lynch has a wine shop in Berkeley and imports only from small,
family-owned estates in Italy and France that use traditional winemaking
methods. He has 150 producers in his stable, and estimates that he adds one
producer to his portfolio for every 100 that he visits. Though not a staunch
advocate of natural or biodynamic wines, he was one of the first to champion
techniques used in natural winemaking, e.g., no filtration. Most importantly
for us, the majority of his portfolio is under $25 per bottle retail.
What's his
wine of choice? "Fresh, young whites - I'm on a Vermentino kick," he
says.
