sense you get when you open a bottle and take the time to breathe deeply and appreciate both everything the bottle and night have to offer. Those pauses are what make life so wonderful.Since that time, we've gone through many transformations. But many things have not changed: a grounded belief in local grower relationships and the land they work, as evidenced in our continued investment in the highest quality fruit that California has to offer, produced nearly exclusively organically and biodynamically; a love of "true" wine which bucks conventional technique; a love of friends and family which guides every decision we make. .
We make wine in Berkeley and Alameda, with grapes from Sonoma, Livermore, and the Central Coast. We have unique relationships with our growers, and they grow grapes in the same way we make wine – with their family, their hands, and a passion for what they do. The fruit makes its way to our Berkeley winery an hour after we manage the pick. We're urban, but not in a "we're urban" way -- we simply want to do what's best, with our customers close to the production of the wine.
- 1. Limiting volume: hand crafted and high touch, so we can remain deeply connected to the growing, making, and aging of some very special wines.
- Getting the wine to people who will enjoy it most, share it, and take it for what it is -- a social practice. In short, creating the best wines and keeping them from the wine snobs.
- Producing wine from a society; a culture; a place -- engaging in community events vs. wine tastings, doing it sustainably, and creating wine that tells a story.
Wine is food and friends, dirty dishes, and passion for the conversation and friendships it engenders.
Two Mile is a brand of unique wines, distributed within a small group but meant to be shared vs. hoarded; of a place; of being able to know the people who cared for the grapes, crafted the wine, and created a story; all outside of the traditional wine marketing machine. That's all we can do, and we hope you do it with us.
- In elegant, characteristic wine
- That the wine is only as good as the meal and company
- In friendship, family, and community
- In eating, drinking, and living
- In place
Why Two Mile? Because the wines are every bit as good as you hope they'll be, they're made sustainable and locally, and they're made by friends.
