Adventures on the Wine Route: A Wine Buyer\’s Tour of France, 25th Anniversary Edition (Kermit Lynch)

The newly designed twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the classic volume, brought up-to-date. Paperback.

Wine is, above all, about pleasure. Those who make it ponderous make it dull . . . If you keep an open mind and take each wine on its own terms, there is a world of magic to discover. So wrote the renowned wine expert Kermit Lynch in the introduction toAdventures on the Wine Route, his ultimate tour of France, especially its wine cellars. The magic of wine is Lynchs subject as he takes the reader on a singular journey through the Loire, Bordeaux, the Languedoc, Provence, northern and southern Rhone, and Burgundy. InAdventures on the Wine Route, the wine lover will find wisdom without a trace of pretension and hype. As Victor Hazan wrote, In Kermit Lynchs small, true, delightful book there is more understanding about what wine really is than in everything else I have read.

Praise for Lynch and forAdventures on the Wine Routehas not ceased since the books initial publication a quarter century ago. In 2007,The New York Timescalled it one of the finest American books on wine. And in June 2012,The Wall Street Journalproclaimed it the best book on the wine business. Full of vivid portraits of French vintners, memorable evocations of the French countryside, and, of course, vibrant descriptions of French wines, this new edition ofAdventures on the Wine Routeupdates a modern classic for our times.
