“Golden Age is a breath of fresh air, the kind of place I wish had existed in town when I was developing an interest in wine and hospitality. The place is already doing what the great wine shops of the world do: fostering community. I love that you not only can pick up extraordinary bottles that you can’t find anywhere else, you can sit down, enjoy and chat with the team, so you are never alone on your wine journey.” —John Burns Paterson, Managing Partner at Frankies Nashville
"Local favorite and 2022 James Beard Award Semifinalist Golden Age Wine has teamed up with same-day delivery service Shipt to bring delivery for the first time to Golden Age Wine customers just in time for Spring."
Golden Age Wine listed as one of the most Outstanding Wine Programs in the country by James Beard Foundation in 2022.
"It’s the shop’s welcoming joie de vivre that had the owners petition the city to allow them to take over the three parking spaces in front of the store in the late afternoons, making space for a wine garden."
"Golden Age Wine, just outside Birmingham, AL. It’s an amazing wine bar/shop and the people are great."
“It’s such a nice space to work and play,” he says. “We used reclaimed oak from a local cast-iron pipe company on the ceilings to connect to wine barrels and a concrete bar top that mimics one of our favorite fermentation vessels.”
"Naturally-produced and sustainable are the watchwords here. The retail side carries an extensive selection of bottles from grapes grown organically and fermented using naturally occurring yeast."
"Starting a new business is a mix of emotions. Fear, endorphins, anxiety, and excitement all wrapped into the tip of an arrow, trying to hit a moving target. After over ten years telling stories for brands, I had a story inside myself that I had to see come to life, my own."
"It’s 100 percent wine bar, and it’s 100 percent wine shop, and it’s now open in Mountain Brook Village to the right of Olexa’s. Now you can stop by Golden Age Wine to buy a bottle (or a case at a 10% discount) or order a glass with a charcuterie board, and you will find a clean aesthetic designed by Amanda Loper with reclaimed oak from Evolutia, vintage chairs and more. “We’re creating something where we want to hang out for the selection of wines, atmosphere, vibe, the whole thing,” co-owner Brandon Loper says. Here’s what he and his business partner Trent Stewart had to say about it all."
"Whether you’re having a drink, attending a tasting or learning more about the processes and origins of different wines, it’s going to be good time. That’s one of the reasons he and business partner Trent Stewart decided to open Golden Age Wine in Mountain Brook Village."
