PLACE TO VISIT FOR JULY
Seven Mountains Wine Cellar
Sometimes our worst night-mare can become a dream fulfilled. It seems that is exactly what happened to Scott Bubb, amateur winemaker (now professional). Bubb was born in Lewistown, raised in Lumber City, graduated from Kish High School and landed a job at New Holland at age 17. Not a bad career decision since he was employed at the Belleville facility for 35 years.

The career choice allowed Scott to fully develop his hobby, amateur wine making. As a matter of fact, he got so good at it he garnered several regional and national awards. He is ranked number 12 on the American Wine Societies list of the top 50 amateur winemakers in the United States. Since 2007 when New Holland an-nounced the Belleville plant closing, Scott and his wife, Mary Ann, opted to chase their dream of starting a full time winery on land adjacent to their home in Decker Valley, just one mile off of route 322 between Lewistown and State College.

Following much research, visits to many wineries throughout the country, and some serious budget devel-opment, they built the beautiful facility that is in full swing today. The hemlock board and batten structure features over 2000 square feet of lounge area, featuring a gorgeous stone fireplace, and the tasting room. At the rear is the deck facing the wooded mountainside and a flat area that can handle an event tent that seats up to 200 guests. Parking has been adequately constructed to accommodate the maximum number of guests or visitors.
