The Legacy of Kermit Lynch Grand Tasting

It's no secret around Frenchy's that we're big, big fans of the work of Kermit Lynch around here. Kermit revolutionized the wine world by shifting America's focus from mass-produced, blended wines to authentic, small-batch, terroir-driven European wines. As an importer, author, and retailer, he championed independent growers, fought against industrial winemaking shortcuts, and shaped the modern appreciation for natural, unfiltered wines.

Join us on July 12, 2026 for a two-hour walkaround tasting featuring twenty-five legacy wines imported by Kermit Lynch. We're talking multi-generational family wines straight from Loire Valley, Burgundy, Rhone Valley, Provence, and Bordeaux. Dare we say this is an incredible, and rare, opportunity to taste France in its most pure, authentic form all in one place.

When/Where?

The Grand Tasting runs from 6pm-8pm on Sunday, July 12th, 2026. We will start pre-emptively checking folks in at 5:45pm. Only valid ticket holders age 21+ will be allowed access. The Tasting will be held inside Frenchy's, and our wine club here will enjoy an extra hour on the front of this event with some exclusive pours added to the mix.

What's Included in My Ticket?

Your ticket provides you access to the Tasting from 6pm to 8pm. We will have glasses for everyone and spittoons placed throughout (remember, a Grand Tasting is a mararthon, not a sprint). Each host will share tasting pours of their wines.
