In September, we visited Succession Winery in the Lake Chelan Valley with our good friends, Chuck and Rita Kinzer. And we were instantly reminded why we decided two years ago that Succession is a winery to watch. That’s when we first met talented winemaker Brock Lindsay, who is co-owner with his wife Erica.
