Pennsylvania winemaker balances job with own wine label

Hillary Gary is the full-time winemaker at Weathered Vineyards in Pennsylvania and also runs her own label, Lime Hill Wines. She started making wine in 2010 and launched Lime Hill in 2019 to explore creative blends and techniques. Lime Hill Wines uses grapes from Pennsylvania and Washington State, focusing on unique varietals. The wines are crafted with methods like skin contact and French oak aging. The tasting room is appointment-only, with sales primarily through wine club memberships and local collaborations. Gary spends most of her time at Weathered Vineyards, where she began working last fall. Lime Hill Wines allows her to express her creativity in winemaking while balancing her full-time role.
