In the News: Skinner Vineyards featured in Sacramento Bee

A feature article in the Sacramento Bee on February 16 captured the passion with which we view the Skinner Vineyards and Winery mission to make great wines.  You can see the article by clicking here. The lead paragraph is “A recently released Grenache from the high- altitude vineyards of Fair Play might just be the finest regional wine that I've ever tasted.” 

There is a lot about our Grenache in our forthcoming newsletter, and that’s intentional.  “Our Grenache stands on its own as a Grenache, which is one of the wines grown in the 1860’s by James Skinner,” noted Mike Skinner recently. “I think it is great in its own right…a great grape, a great wine.”  Grenache is also our winemaker's favorite Rhone grape to work with and it shows.  Chris Pittenger draws from his experience at Biale, Torbreck, Williams-Selyem, and Marcassin when crafting wines from this delicate and delicious varietal.
