Henway Hard Cider: For the Love of Apples and Barrels
Join Howard Fletcher as he travels to picturesque Bluemont, Virginia to have a conversation with Scott Spelbring, Master Cider Maker of Henway Hard Cider. We discuss all things Virginia cider and new delicious creations to come from Henway. More on Henway Hard Cider: Going back five generations, the Horlander family gathered around their dinner table every Sunday night for family dinner. Herman Graham Horlander, a grower of fowl and meat processor, proudly served chicken at every Sunday dinner. Grandfather Horlander always knew the history of that particular bird, as he was the one responsible for its pre-table existence. Guests and family members alike would always remark on the marvelous platter of hen as it was being passed around the table. Inevitably, someone would always ask grandfather Horlander, “what’s a hen weigh?” To which he would joyfully respond, “about five pounds!” This scenario was repeated over the course of many years and many chicken dinners, and Grandfather Horlander was proud of his contribution.

Bluemont Vineyard: Realizing a Zurschmeide Vision
Join Howard Fletcher as he travels to picturesque Bluemont, Virginia to have a conversation with Scott Spelbring, Head Winemaker of Bluemont Vineyard. We discuss his evolution from sound engineer, to home vigneron, to cellar rat at Sunset Hills Vineyard, to his present highly skilled position as head winemaker. More on Bluemont Vineyard: In 1993, the Zuschmeide family purchased a farm in Bluemont, Virginia, which is now home to Great Country Farms. As the Zurschmeide family nurtured the soil back into production, they envisioned using some of the adjoining land on the slopes above their farm for cultivating grapes for winemaking. The opportunity to realize this dream came true when the family was able to purchase the 100 acres that is now home to Bluemont Vineyard. Bluemont Vineyard was established in 2007 when the first grape vines came into full production and now grows over ten varietals of grapes, including Viognier, Norton, and Cabernet Franc.
