"A 24-year-old, well-respected operation with a tasting room in Redmond, Betz Family Winery announced it would not release a 2020 vintage because wildfire smoke taint affected harvested grapes; with vineyards in Eastern Washington and a Pinot Noir project in Oregon’s Willamette Valley also hit by the devastating 2020 wildfires, the owners said, “We never considered for one second sending wines to customers that are flawed,” calling the decision brutal but easy." - Gabe Guarente
