As a grape grower and winemaker, Lee Hartman is excited to make a large variety of different wines using many different techniques. But as a wine consumer, none of this is enough. He wants to see what different winemakers are doing as well. In a new event series, we are inviting guest winemakers to our tasting room to learn about what they are doing. Come have a flight and hear their stories about where the grapes are grown, how the wines are made, where else in the world they've worked, and go home with some bottles that are only available in our tasting room for one night only.

​Our second guest winemaker is Jake Busching. Jake Busching has been with wineries like Pollak Vineyards, Grace Estate Winery, Michael Shaps Wineworks and now his very own label. Jake is winegrower and maker for the newly opened estate winery Hark Vineyards where he also crafts and sells his own wines. Jake's label is driven by hand selecting high quality fruit from VA vineyards he has worked with or has a relationship with. You will see different bottlings over the years dependent on vintage character and what Jake is able to find from premium growers he trusts.
