Greg Lipsker co-founded Barrister Winery after a successful career as a business and securities attorney. A graduate of Gonzaga University and Georgetown Law, he transitioned a home winemaking hobby with his law partner into an acclaimed urban winery, known for its award-winning red wines.
His passion for wine was sparked by a wine appreciation class at Gonzaga. This interest developed alongside his legal career, culminating in the creation of Barrister Winery, which has become a pillar of the Spokane community. He is actively involved in local economic development and winery associations.
Unique fact: The winerys barrel room is located beneath railroad tracks, and the vibration from over 25, 000 trains per year gently settles the wines, a unique process they call "train settled. "
