John Susi, a Colorado Winemaker and owner/winemaker at J. Susi Winery in the Colorado area, has migrated to Tennessee, where he is now the head winemaker at Natchez Hills Vineyard, Hampshire Tn.
Early in his career, prior to being a noted winemaker, he was road manager and security for storied legends like the Rolling Stones, The Who, Alice Cooper, ZZ Top, Sugarloaf and The Electric Prunes. His travels around the world took him through many a wine country, where he discovered the art of winemaking and developed an appreciation for wine from varied regions.
“I am blessed to find myself at Natchez Hills,” John shares, “making wine in a beautiful facility that combines all of my loves in one place: music, food, wine and people. It doesn’t get any better than this!”
