"Longtime Berkeley-based wine importer and retailer Kermit Lynch, one of the keystones of the Berkeley food world for five decades, has just expanded with its second-ever retail location, in Larkspur. It's big news for wine lovers in and around Larkspur that Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant will open a new location at the Marin County Mart tomorrow, Tuesday, December 9, just in time for holiday imbibing."
"Founded in 1972 with a store in Albany that, by the early 80s, would move across the border into Berkeley, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant has earned national acclaim as an importer, wholesaler, and retailer of fine French and Italian wine, often at fairly reasonable prices. And until this week, the only storefront the company has ever had was that one in Berkeley."
Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant opened a second retail location in Larkspur's Marin County Mart, launching on Tuesday, December 9, timed for holiday shoppers. The company was founded in 1972 in Albany and moved to Berkeley in the early 1980s. The business gained national acclaim as an importer, wholesaler, and retailer of French and Italian wines offered often at reasonable prices. The Marin shop will mirror the Berkeley shop's high-touch, friendly ethos and aims to help clients explore the pleasures of French and Italian wine. J.S. Rosenfield & Co. originally approached Kermit Lynch about a Marin presence eight years earlier. Much of the company's business remains focused on wholesale and distribution, and Kermit Lynch pioneered bringing lesser-known French producers to the American market through trips to the French countryside seeking wines with 'soul'.
