Thanks so much to Jim at The NY Butcher Shoppe in Cahaba Heights for bringing in both the Mile Marker Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir as part of his wine club for January. We’re so happy to have the wines for sale there!

Mile Marker Release Party!

admin — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 23:24:50 +0000

Mile Marker Wine Co. is excited to announce the release of 2 new wines, Mile 5 Riesling and Mile 5 Gewurztraminer, both from the Rogue Vally, Oregon. As with any new item, we are always excited to get them open so our fans can try them, but these wines are quite unique in that we needed a really special restaurant partner to help us with the launch, since they will only be available in kegs!

We’re please to announce that Two Urban Licks will be pouring both of these fun wines, and to help us celebrate by hosting our Mile Marker Release Party! We invite everyone to join us on Sunday, August 19th, at Two Urban Licks, to taste through our new wines on tap, as well as our bottled varietals of Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. The cost is $20.00 plus tax and tip, and will be from 4:00-6:00. Two also has two full bocce courts in the back, and we’re challenging everyone to bring your own team, and see who’s best!

RSVP to bobby@bandlbrands.com. We hope to see you there!

We’re quite excited today, as the next vintage of Mile Marker Pinot Gris is being bottled, to be shipped to all of our markets, soon! Crisp and clean, this vintage packs a lot of fruit in the bottle. It will make the perfect bottle for picnics, patios, and soon enough, the pool!

Mile Marker 71 at the Decatur Wine Fest

A big thanks to all those that stopped by Table 50 at the Decatur Wine Festival 2011 to taste the Mile Marker 71 Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. Lisa and I were excited to be on hand for such a great tasting, organized by a host of sponsors including our friends at Decatur Package Store. We hope all our new friends pickup a bottle for your Thanksgiving Dinner! Look at our calendar for more upcoming tastings and events with Mile Marker.

Great new review of our Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir!

Check out this great review of our wines from Atlantic Wine, in Atlanta, GA! Thanks for the kind words!

Dear Wine Lover, Every week we taste tons of wine to ferret out those special wines that are deserving of a place at your table. Recently, we found two terrific, bargain-priced wines from Oregon that are real crowd pleasers! The wines are the 2009 Mile Marker Pinot Gris and the 2009 Mile Marker Pinot Noir. These are sensational values that I think are an absolute steal!

When you pour the Pinot Gris into a glass, the first thing that you notice is the gorgeous, slightly golden color. When you swirl, aromas of ripe white peaches, golden delicious apples with a touch of pineapple waft from your glass. Take a sip and the luscious fruit flavors dance around your mouth, seemingly touching every tastebud. Rich, but not sweet because of a fine underlying acidity that keeps everything in balance. The finish is long and pure. This little jewel is extremely versatile, pairing wonderfully with fish, pork, light cheese or numerous vegetarian dishes.The Pinot Noirhas a lovely opaque, ruby red color with aromas of ripe red cherry and a touch of wild herb. This is a juicy little devil with flavors of bright bing cherry, raspberry and a hint of mulberry that lead into a lively, persistent finish. Fruity and open-knit, this accompanies fish, pork or fowl to perfection.These are tasty, everyday wines that won’t break the bank.

Cheers!
Patrick

Mile Marker Wine Co. in Birmingham, Alabama

This past Friday, September 23, I was able to participate in a great event with the Western Supermarkets in Birmingham, Alabama. They hold a food & wine (the most important part, of course!) tasting that benefits the Emmet O’Neal Library. This allowed me to pour the Mile Marker Wines for the first time in Alabama! The response was great, and it the Pinot Noir was the first empty bottle of the table! Thanks to all those that stopped by, and to my distributor The Source!
