by Gail Skoff.

"In 1981 she began to travel extensively through the French wine country with her husband, the wine importer Kermit Lynch. Her unique access into the wine culture allowed Skoff to document the winemakers lives and the traditional
way wine was produced."



Kermit Lynch is inspiring thirst.

And, back in the day:

"In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Lynch took disagreement with a regulation of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms that required wine bottles to be labeled with the Surgeon General's warning against alcohol consumption but prohibited any countering sentiment about the benefits of moderate wine drinking to be on the label.
On numerous occasions, Lynch petitioned the BATF to allow him to add a statement about the benefit of wine to go with the Surgeon General's warning such as quotes by Louis Pasteur on the hygienic properties of wine, the Bible on wine's healing properties, and Thomas Jefferson on the pleasures that drinking wine can bring. After many trials, Lynch finally had his request approved."
