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.
