Molly and Harrison Lebowitz: People often ask us if we are the owners. Actually the bank is the owner, but they’re letting us play here for the next twenty years or so... I guess technically we are the proprietors, but this venture would not exist but for our investors. We chose the name Snow Farm because both elements of the name symbolize the essence of Vermont. Besides, Ernest and Julio Lebowitz didn't quite work.

Patrick Barrelet is the artist behind the wines. A part owner, Patrick

has been the head wine meister since day one with a degree in Oenology from the University of Dijon in Burgundy, France, one of the great wine-producing regions in the world. He majored in Pinot Noir, which is a way better major than any other I’ve ever heard of. He is an award winning wine maker many times over and is tolerant over our lack of appreciation of Canadian pastimes, like curling.

Marilyn Connor has been here since we started. Known by her loyal followers as Mel, she is not only the greatest person ever to run the tasting room, but she is also the queen of all worthless, trivial knowledge. She can talk cooking, wine pairing, or fine wine with you, or she can just as easily tell you who did the voice of “Tennessee Tuxedo” or sing the lyrics from “Shaft”. Mel alone is worth the trip to see us.

Cassandra Martin splits her time between all of our locations, which is perfect given her split personality.  You might see her at anything and everywhere having to do with Snow Farm because, foolishly, she is actually interested in all aspects of the business – from winemaking to retail.  Because everyone

  at Snow Farm gets to choose his or her own job title, Cassandra took full advantage of the glaring omission and is now Queen of Canada.  So treat her with respect and minors, don’t even think about using a fake I.D.;  not only does Cassandra take her role as Queen of  Canada seriously, but she is also a former marine.

Alex Lane

  came with the land. Seriously. We bought the land for the vineyard and winery from his grandparents, Fred and Gladys. I neglected to read the fine print in the sales agreement that said that Alex was an agricultural easement that ran with the land. So, here is and here he shall remain. The good news is he won’t bite if you want to feed him, but bring plenty of Hot Pockets.
