Each pickup comes with Jake's notes on the wines — what he was thinking, what to pair, what's coming next.
Founder Status
The founding 125 hold a permanent place. As the allocation grows, founder members retain their membership and priority access.
"I make wine I want to drink with people I want to drink it with. This club is the simplest version of that — no middlemen, no markups, just wine that means something to me, going directly to the people who want it."
— Jake Busching, Winemaker

worth knowing
Do I get to choose the wines?
No — and that's intentional. Jake selects every bottle. If you want to add specific bottles outside the allocation, that's always an option.
How does pickup work?
When your allocation is ready, Jake will be in touch. You collect your six bottles directly at the winery — a chance to connect and hear what Jake was thinking with that release.
When are pickups scheduled?
Twice a year — spring and fall. You'll hear from Jake ahead of each pickup with dates and notes on what's in the allocation.
Can I pause or cancel?
Yes. No long-term commitment. Let us know before the next billing cycle. Founder status is held for members who return in good standing.
What happens when 125 spots fill?
A waitlist opens. Waitlist members are first in line when a founder spot becomes available.
Can I have my wine shipped?
The The Founder's Allocation is designed for in person pick-up at the winery. But if you need yours shipped, let us know and we can make it happen.
125 spots.
No shipping required.
Come to the winery. Meet Jake. Take your wine home.
