Let there be light!

Üdvözlet!

Translation is 'greetings' in Hungarian, (I've been teaching myself Hungarian via Google translate, I hope Google doesn't let me down and embarrass me). #inGoogleWeTrust ((just thought I would throw in a trendy hashtag to be hip)).

And on the 8th year of Business the Millners said
"Let there be light!"

Behold the new lamp posts! The parking lot is now a lot less scary at night to those afraid of the dark :)


Jon made international news!

Jon and his Hungarian dance groupies made the news in Hungary! There is about 3:30min covering the MN Hungarians dancing during the Carpathian Celebration at the Landmark Center:

Updates in Don's World!

Don and Mary have safely landed back in the Motherland. He brought back gold mines of souvenirs including a tooth from the dinosaur he did dental work on. A few of the horses he road in the calvary took a liking to his songs about wine and followed him home. However, once the horses reached the blistering cold of the Motherland, they decided they could just listen to Don's songs on youtube while remaining in the delightful Texas sun.

Stay posted each week for updates from Don in this section of the newsletter!


Andrea the Wine Student

In this section of the newsletter I will now start to share a little bit more about my journey as a wine student! 

My dad sent me a pic last week that our new wine press came in the mail! It's a fraction of the size of the commercial press at the winery—but it will get the job done! This past summer we harvested fruit from our mini orchard in Osakis, MN. We will be making wine out of apricots, cherries, and the aronia berry.


Have an even more beaütiful day than yesterday!

Desert Dentist! Fashion Show this Sunday! Müllner Tour de Brew! Jon made the paper!

Greetings!


I hope you all stayed safe and warm over our brief arctic freeze! On behalf of the Müllner Familia I would like to commend your hard coreness of withstanding the MN winter. If Franz & Annastazia Müllner were here today I'm sure they would say "Gut gemacht!" (At least we aren't living in 1882 MN winters-I mean, what would we do without autostart? Chatter our teeth while waiting for our cars to warm up?!)

Don & Mary update: While we were freezing this last week, Don was exploring the past times of his former life as a dentist by excavating the Texas desert for dinosaurs in need of some dental work. No need to worry, Sister Mary tagged along to supervise the excavation. 


The Müllner Familia
Tour de Brew

Last week the Müllner Familia went on a Tour De Brew of NE Mpls. On the tour we started out at Indeed Brewing then walked 0.5 miles to Tattersall Distilling, then walk 0.5 miles to Sociable Cider Werks (where I became the foosball champion), another 0.5 miles to Bauhaus Brew Labs (that is where the boot drinking occure—see pics below), then we carried on to 612 Brew where we didn't do too hot at trivia, BUT still had a splendid time! We walked about 2.5 miles on this tour!

Schnickelfritz is back! Free Tasting Sundays! Fashion Show! Love is in the Air!

Greetings loyal newsletter reading patrons!

My name is Andrea, and I will be writing to all you lovely folks for the next few weeks. To tell you a little more about myself, I started going to school for winemaking in June of 2015. I'm in the same program Jon went through; the program is called VESTA (Viticulture Enology Science Technology Alliance). Here at the winery I wear many hats and like to help out the Millners in any way I can. Writing the newsletter while Don is on vaca is a hat I'm currently wearing :)

As you read last week, Don and Mary are in Texas visiting their oldest son. I'm sure they are having tons of fun riding horses and herding cattle in the nice warm Texas sun! In the photo below you can see Don heading up the group and Mary close behind.
