Voted Best Booth 3 Consecutive Years! Sich freuen!!!

Hello most lovely Müllner newsletter readers,

If you haven't heard already, it's my honor to inform you that the Müllner Familia has been voted yet again the Best Booth out of 30 wineries at the MGGA Winter Wine Fest! This would make it the 3rd consecutive year! Our singing familia takes pride in bringing the best costumer service experience to each individual. Below is a snip-bit of our singing crew at the Winter Wine Fest:

New songs have been added to our song book this spring! Be sure to come out one weekend to enjoy one of our ensembles.



We Need Your Help!

Fellow Millner Heritage patrons, we are looking for your help by collecting your favorite meal and or recipe pairings that you enjoy having with our wine.
I'm starting a Pinterest page for our winery and I am looking to collect as many food pairings as possible for each of our wines. Then each week we will debut a different food and wine pairing.

Will you please email me any website links you've sourced meal ideas and recipes from? 
Köszönöm köszönöm köszönöm!



Thursday morning we broke our all time bottles per hour record! We started at 8:05 am and finished at 10:30 am bottling a total of 139 cases, that is 1,668   bottles. Making an average of  741 bottles per hour. We only broke one bottle and almost didn't drink any.



Don's Corner         

Good afternoon:

     Last weekend was busy, three days Minnesota Grape Growers Convention and then Sunday our Valentine’s Day event at the winery.  Saturday at the evening convention banquet I received a text message from one of my sisters that our Mom’s heart rate was high and breathing also elevated rate.  Reality struck home that her end may be near, at the same time Jon was doing the MC job for the banquet.  He did a really good job, pretty much a stand-up comic with enough knowledge of the people present to also do a roast.  Congratulations to Jon for the wonderful entertainment. 

 

     I got home about midnight Saturday and in the morning discovered the voice message that Mom had died 1:30 in the morning.  She had been checked 15 minutes before she was gone, must have died in her sleep.  Monday we got together for the arrangements and emptying her room at the assisted living home.  Today we go to Pierz for the wake and then Saturday the funeral.  We all said our goodbyes and she was I think ready to go.  She sure picked the date, died on Valentine’s Day and her burial Feb. 20th is also my birthday.

     What beautiful weather, Phil, Jon, and Andrea were pruning yesterday after we did a bottling morning session.  It sure feels like spring could come early and the circle of life and all things green will be back very soon.

 

     Thank you for your support during this time and have a wonderful day.

 

Don Millner

Super Bowl Pre-Party / Love is in the Air Registration / Iza & Andi's matching haircut

Hello Folks,

I hope all of you made it safely through our snowmageddon! It surely feels like a Minnesnowta winter now. Making snow angels is something I find quite enjoyable, and since our wine is cold climate wine I thought it would be fitting to bring a bottle out with me into the snow to make the first ever Millner Heritage wine-snowangel! 

Doesn't it look heavenly!? 


Looking for a Super Bowl Pre-Party?

We invite you to come hang out with us for free wine tasting and 1/2 off meat & cheese trays. 

AND we can sell bottles on Sunday! So you can pick up a case on the way out to your Super Bowl party.

Welcome to Don's Corner

Texas Hill Country Winery

Texas Hill Country Winery

Mary and I are, after a week home, getting a little rested up from touring Texas for three weeks. We toured Dallas, Houston, South Padre Island, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and Fredericksburg. Fredericksburg, in the Texas hill country, is nationally the second fastest wine growing area, Napa being the fastest. They grow Vitis Vinifera grapes, the common California grapes such as Merlot and Cabernet. I was able to report to Jon that his wine making abilities are very comparable and I think better than many we tasted. (That'll keep him home on the farm.) Though we have different grapes, the grape growing and the winemaking are very similar.

To celebrate it's good to be home, I think it would be a good time to give away a bottle of wine. Below is a photo of a home in the Texas hill country near Fredericksburg, all of you have seen a photo of this house before. Easy question, what famous American lived in this house and conducted US government affairs under the oak tree on the front lawn. If you are at least 46 yrs. old it was during you like time. Send your answers to donmillner@gmail.com with the subject line, "My Fellow Americans."

Valentine's Day will be here shortly, don't miss our "Love is in the Air" party.  Besides a wonderful meal, we'll have The Derelict Trio playing Jazz, Wine to drink, plus our new cider "Sechs in a Bottle", and Free Bottle Bingo.  Iza our Granddaughter is getting her hair cut this evening, with some wild style.  Her and Andrea, our new worker are together on this.  You'll be able to see the new two doo.  All I can say is that it might be good that hair usually grows back. Well I believe Iza will be helping me with the Free Bottle Bingo.


Maybe see you this weekend.  Sunday I may be doing  tours.

     Don


Don't forget that SUNDAY is FUNDAY! 
Free 5 wine tasting!

Andrea the Wine Student

I started my spring semester of Enology (wine making) courses on Tuesday. I'm pretty excited about my Sensory Evaluation class. In this class I will be learning how to evaluate wine and each week starting at week 4, I will be tasting/evaluation a different variety of wine. My instructor is Croatian, his name is Zoran Ljepovic and has a very entertaining accent.

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!

-Andrea

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!

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 :)

You know when you get older you have to sometimes give into the idea of delegating jobs. On Monday Mary and I are leaving for about 3 weeks to visit our oldest son and family at Houston Texas. During this time I am delegating the newsletter writing to our employee Andrea Stowe. In a little bit of time she has gotten very involved at the winery. She has taken over most of the wedding interviews and is ready to bring on-line a new copy of our webpage, plus whole-sale wine distribution and more. Please make her very welcome on her writing. I hope she will also tell something of herself so you know her as a person. She is very interested in the MN wine industry, currently taking formal classes also.

     The photo  below is construction of a new bar for in the winery store area, it goes into the south east corner and the general retail mostly is gone.  Our current discussions are to use it for cider and specialty wine tasting or it may become an all wine tasting location.  We don't know at this time, something to  work through the details.  With this addition it give us a total of 40 person at the bar capability.  I told Jon it also gives us the opportunity to great singing challenges.  One bar of guests can sing challenging the other bar. (I'm always looking for ways to have fun.)
     The winner of a free bottle of wine this week, drawn from the many entrees is Karin Blow.  Congratulations.
PS.  As of yesterday I now have a 45,000 btu heater in the garage to make this work go good this winter.

      This is as really fast newsletter today.  Jon and Iza are coming over shortly, we are going to Pierz to visit my mother for her assisted living Christmas party.  She has been failing as of late, at 93, and I believe this will be her last Christmas.
     Below are the details for our Christmas Thank You.  I look forward to seeing you on December 12th.
     It won't be long and New Year's Eve will also be here.  At the bottom of the page are also the details of our New Year's Eve celebration this year.  As being supposedly retired, we are trying to phase me out of the planning for some of the events at the winery.  Jon and Andrea, our new young worker and official wine-making student, have put together a plan for NYE, it is a Casino Night.  As I understand the details, entry get you access to our appetizer buffet for 4 hours, two drink chips, plus play money equivalent to another glass of wine.  The games include, but not limited to, Texas Holdem, 5 card Draw, Blackjack, and Bingo.

     Lastly, I have been really busy is our garage this week with a new project for the winery.  Also, good time to time to give away a free bottle of wine.  What am I building for the winery?

Photo of the Week
     Black Friday was our official release of the new hard cider label, "Sechs in a Bottle".   This label name has been really fun at the tasting bar.  It give you opportunity to ask people questions like, "Have you had Sechs yet?"  Everyone has been smiling with this kind of discussion.  One lady bought a bottle and said, "I've never paid for Sechs before."
