Description

INTERVIEW AND TASTINGInternational wine critic and Masterclass.com Instructor James Suckling has tasted numerous Washington wines over the past few weeks, and he had a tasting session and conversation with winemaker Louis Skinner of Betz Family Winery. Skinner is a talented winemaker who trained under legendary winemakers such as Bob Betz and Chris Upchurch. He is convinced, like Bob Betz, that cabernet sauvignon rocks in Washington. Listen to some highlights of the Zoom session below, in which Skinner compares recent vintages and explains why cabernet sauvignon is not as well known as merlot or syrah in Washington State.
