Apple Maps assured me they were open until 5:30. Spoiler alert: they were not.

Turns out they actually close at 4:30, not 5:30. I missed the meat window by an hour and fifteen minutes Please, for the love of all that is tender and juicy, update your hours.

So helpful tip: Be prepared to wait a bit and make a solo trip inside.

Since they don't have a physical location themselves the only place you can find their product (outside of Giant food stores on the east coast) is Cincy Liquors on Reading rd. I was able to taste multiple varietals at a tasting recently and even walked away with a few bottles. I'm a dry red drinker but thanks to them, I've reconsidered sweet wines. And by sweet, I don't mean Muskat. They use really non traditional grapes and other fruit to get a complex semi sweet finish. The wines range from 11-14% abv so don't underestimate them. The company was started by two childhood friends who went out on a double date. At dinner they ordered wine and apparently a company was born. They have a great story and a great product that I absolutely love. For less seasoned wine drinkers, I always have a bottle of this on hand to bridge the gap. Great guys, great wines, great times! Not so humbly submitted, Michael C.

Inspired by their passion for fine wine and a purposeful desire to respond to the under representation of African-Americans in the wine industry, they decided to create their own wine brand. Greg and Sean began by immersing themselves in the wine industry, traveling the world, visiting vineyards, participating in wine showcases and educating themselves in the craft of wine making. Often the only African-Americans participating in the events, they quickly realized the elite nature of the wine making industry. Determined to use their African-American heritage as an asset instead of a limiting factor, they pressed forward; and Markell-Bani was born.

What a deal! The ladies serving the wines were very cheerful and knowledgeable. They explained the different undertones of the wines, where the grapes came from, and how this particular flavor was unique from other Rieslings or Pinots. The owner of the brand of wine we were tasting was also present, so he could talk about his selection first hand. That was an added bonus! Out of the seven wines, there were three whites and four reds. The seventh wine was a $70.00 Shiraz wine. I could definitely taste the difference in quality from the other samples, which were around $17.00 per bottle. Our group of 10 fit comfortably in the store for the tasting, as well as the dozen others partaking in the event. If you're looking for unique wines in a well-organized shop with connoisseurs helping you pick your selection, let BFM Wine Shop take care of you. Average bottle price: $20.00
