Sessions held with our founding winery partner
Bartholomew Winery · Kennewick, WA
A self-taught winemaker who bets on
the grapes everyone else ignores.

Bart Fawbush left a career in mortgages to teach himself winemaking — and built a small-lot winery around rare varietals most producers won't touch. He's our founding partner because he believes the same thing we do: wine is more interesting when more people are part of making it.
