Rush Wines is a small, Birmingham-based distributor of limited-production wines from independently owned wineries around the world. Founded in August of 2002 by entrepreneur Rush Garner,

Rush Wines seeks to promote wine awareness in Alabama by bringing some of the world’s finest wines to its local markets, as well as by introducing consumers to the people behind the wines. The company is also involved in the production of its own private-label series of wines, which embodies our focus on higher-quality, handcrafted wines made by small-scale, family-owned wineries.

Rush Cellars

Founded by Alabama native Rush Garner in 2005, the Rush Cellars project began with the release of 728 cases of cabernet sauvignon from California to the Alabama market. Today, some 40,000 cases later, Birmingham resident Rush Garner has created an array of additional wines to compliment his flagship Cabernet.

The Rush Cellars portfolio now comprises a Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sparkling, Pinot Grigio, and a red blend called the Ol’ Vine Red. Available exclusively in Alabama, these handcrafted wines are made with the Southeast’s climate and accessibility to fresh Gulf seafood in mind. There are other wines in the works so look for this exciting brand at a store near you!

Check out this great event at C'est Le Vin Wine Bar and Shop Shop Ancienncien coming up this week!Join us, Thursday, October 16th, as we welcome Jimmy Kawalek, National Sales Manager of Ancien Wines to CLV! Ancien is the quest of a winemaker in pursuit of his art, and a celebration of the traditions in wine that have inspired him.“In 1992, we harvested our first two tons of Pinot Noir from four rows atop a knoll in the southwest corner of Carneros. Producing but five barrels, this marked the beginning of Ancien Wines. In the years since, we have continued our pursuit of those rare and special plots where Pinot Noir can rise from great to sublime.Our winegrowing philosophy starts in the vineyard. We are fully tuned in to the needs of our vines, as it is essential in ensuring we grow the most flavorful fruit. We emphasize organic farming techniques such as composting to ensure our vines are healthy not only throughout the growing season but over the long term. Every viticultural decision can have implications for quality.Turning to winemaking in the cellar, the goal is simple: we want to capture everything good our grapes have to offer. We endeavor to walk the tightrope of balance between the cerebral and the hedonistic. Savor and think about our wines: their layers, their nuance, their complexity, and their ability to evolve and age – if that is what moves you (It moves us!). Or just drink them because they are delicious! (We do that too!).Finally, we would say all great wines ultimately reveal the uniqueness of their vineyard source. We avoid manipulating the wines to impose a “house” style, and instead guide each wine to completely show their own personality. You might say that we do as little as we possibly can to make great wine. To this end, we pay an almost absurd amount of attention to the extraction of flavors and colors, patiently coaxing out their full richness and every subtle distinction. Each vineyard that we work in presents a unique confluence of climate, soils, clonal selection, and age. Each vintage presents another delicious beginning of a journey to the bottle, and ultimately your glass.”RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.To reserve TEXT 251-209-1569 with your name and the number of seats you would like. ...
