Meet Jim

In 2010, Jim and his wife Dottie discovered a wine slush mix at a small farmers market while on vacation. It was good — but Jim knew it could be better.

He spent months in his Cincinnati kitchen trying to perfect it. He quit twice before he finally cracked the neutral-base recipe that lets any red or white wine shine.

Fifteen years later, that recipe is sold in over 450 wineries plus boutiques, gift shops, liquor stores, and a nationwide dealer network selling every weekend at festivals, craft shows, and farmers markets.
