Weekend Independence

It is a toasty 4th of July weekend in Madrona.  And at Madrona Wine we are OPEN and running the air conditioner all weekend to keep the wine cosy.  We’ll also be tasting some delicious wines to keep ourselves cosy.

Saturday, we have a line up of wines that you may want to take along to the day’s festivities.  And seeing how it is a holiday, we’ll be opening them early.  We’ll be pouring a Northern Italian Sauvignon that bursts with flavor, a crisp Provence Rosé that comes in a booming magnum, a Spanish Mencia that will make your tongue sparkle, a beautiful Burgundy that will bring out the ooohs and aaaahs, and a smooth Zweigelt to brighten a dark night.  All are ready for that Saturday barbeque and go well with chips and hot dogs. 

Sunday is more laid back and we’ll be tasting two Portuguese Porch Pounders meant for summer sipping.

Las Lilas Vinho Verde    $9
Louriero and Treixadura
More than just a pretty label, the Las Lilas has good intensity, white fruits with floral notes. Elegant and fresh.

2012 Casa Santos Lima Confidencial Tinto  $9
A steal of a little Portuguese red that delivers a lot for a little. Nice delicate scents of berries, with underlying tobacco, well integrated acidity with a palate of berries, with a soft finish.

Take a break from the heat and give them a try.

Madrona Wine Merchants offers free wine tastings featuring 4-5 selections on a theme every Saturday from 2 until the bottles run out and on Sunday we offer a mini-tasting of two wines all day from 11-5.
