For mail order, we have relied for a long time on Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, 1605 San Pablo Avenue (at Cedar), Berkeley, CA 94702. Phone 510-524-1524. Hours: Tue-Sat 11-6. Closed Sunday and Monday. Discovered Kermie in 94 when visiting Paul Bara, a small champagne vinter in Bouzy. After buying (not enough!) of their vintage champagne, we asked where we could obtain more in the states - Vous ne connaissez pas Kermit Lynch? Il est americain comme vous! We have been buying from him ever since. Call them and get on their monthly mailer. BTW, you'll find his prices are slightly higher - but he ships all of his wines to the states in refridgerated containers, which is why you don't have the common "gee, why do European wines seem to taste so much better in Europe" problem with his wines. And consider if you will a case of the Paul Bara n.v. rose. For me, it is what I think when I close my eyes and say, "Sunday."
Le Champagne Paul Bara, Grand Cru de Bouzy, est un vin "harmonieux, délicatement fruité, dosé à la perfection" (Michel Bettane).
