The Story behind Vino Slush
At Vino Slush, we think wine can be savored in the most inviting manner possible—frozen, and simply scrumptious! Our wine slush mix is proudly made and distributed by Jim Miller Gourmet, a Cincinnati, Ohio-based, Vietnam veteran-owned company.
Hello, I’m Jim Miller. My wife, Dottie, and I have been involved in the gourmet food industry for years, but in 2010, things took a surprising and thrilling detour. My wife, Dottie and I own Jim Miller Gourmet, the parent company that manufactures Vino Slush Mix. Our roster of products include our Wine and Cocktail Slushie Mix, Bourbon Slush Mix, Mulling Spices and Bread Dipping Mixes.
During a vacation, I happened to find a wine slush mix at a farmer’s market. The idea was easy: blend it with any wine and water, freeze it (or blend it), and have an amazing frozen wine slushie. One sip, and I was addicted. I knew in that moment—I had to take this concept to my company.
I was selling chip dip mixes at the time, but I couldn’t help but think to include this in my product line. So, I embarked on making my wine slushie mix from scratch.
What had looked easy initially became months of nonstop trial and error. Three months of testing, adjusting, and perfecting the formula—tons of failed batches, hundreds of hours, and more money than I wish to acknowledge. I quit. Twice. But something drew me back.
Then, at last, I got it right. The ideal wine slush recipe. Smooth, and simple to prepare.
And the best part is, it sold like crazy.
What started as a side product quickly grew into something much bigger. Today, Vino Slush has been sold in over 450 wineries across the country, along with boutiques, gift shops, liquor stores, and specialty retailers. We’ve also built a network of passionate dealers who introduce Vino Slush to customers at festivals, craft shows, home shows, and farmers’ markets nationwide.
Demand continues to increase—we now produce hundreds of cases at a time just to keep pace. Some buy a case or two, while others purchase pallets of 48 cases at a time. One thing never changes: once people try it, they love it.
We’ve added products to our line over the years beyond our signature frozen wine slush mix. We now carry:
✔ Bourbon Slush Mix – A strong, smooth version of the original frozen cocktail, but so much simpler to prepare. No boiling a simple syrup. No more brewing tea. No more measuring different ingredients. Makes the whole process so much easier and convenient.
✔ Wine Mulling Spices – Ideal for warm, mulling wine, cider, or tea during the cold winter months.
✔ Bread Dipping Mixes – Delicious mixes to add flavor to any meal.
Vino Slush Mix is manufactured and sold by Jim Miller Gourmet.
