Why these three? Because seasons are changing, and these wines suit the weather and cuisine ahead. Because they are delicious. From several dozen KLWM selections tasted in recent months, they were our favorites. Simple as that. And they are at three distinct points on the French map (Loire, Burgundy, Rhone) where for decades Kermit Lynch has done amazing work. Stylistically they are far from each other on the continuum, but are united by a deliciousness that exceeds the price one has to pay for them. They scream, "Hello, is your mouth paying attention, because I am awesome." OK maybe they are more well-mannered than that, but I'd like to scream it.
