About this Event
Kermit Lynch was born and raised in California. In 1972, he opened a retail wineshop and later began importing and distributing nationally. He is considered one of the most influential people in the French-American wine trade. In 1988, he published Adventures on the Wine Route, which won the Veuve Clicquot Wine Book of the Year Award. The book chronicles his time spent with meeting and bonding with winemakers across France.
All wine book club books can be purchased at the local book shop - Old Town Books! So, help us support an Alexandria small-business and pick up Adventures on the Wine Route at Old Town Books before joining us for the tasting!
At this tasting, we will discuss the stories told in the book while tasting the wines made by the characters we grew attached to in our reading!
Included with your ticket:
- Seated wine class with Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley
- Tasting of six French wines featured in Adventures on the Wine Route (from current vintages)
- Small serving of artisanal cheese to accompany your tasting
- Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted
** While we absolutely recommend reading this fantastic book, this tasting will not require the reading beforehand. These stories will be summarized with the tastings **
