“I first met Lin Liu on our Master of Wine journeys. Most students are in over their heads at this level, but it was immediately clear to me that she had all the skills needed to sail through the examinations. She has theoretical knowledge, practical experience in both vineyards and cellars as well as a keen palate, fine memory and the ability to express herself well. That she was able to do all this a foreign language only added to my admiration. If she lived nearer, she would certainly be a permanent fixture on our tasting panels.”
