Spring arrives this weekend and here at Madrona Wine we are ready to welcome it. Sunny or Showers we’ve got some good wines to try. Stop in and enjoy the change of season.
Saturday we’ll be trying a selection of French wines that cover all the bases.
2013 Kuentz-Bas, Alsace Blanc
2015 Domaine Croix Belle Rosé
2013 Laurent Gauthier, Grands Cras, Morgon
2009 Chateau La Vielle Cure, La Sacristie de la Ville Cure Fronsac
2011 Domaine Grand Veneur, Lirac Clos de Sixte
Sunday, we are cracking open a big bottle of a big Nero d’Avola blend.
Massimo de Gregorio, Nero $25– 1.5liter
70% Nero d’Avola, 30% Syrah
Made by Marchesi de Gregorio in northwest Sicily, Belice Valley. The Nero is full and dark without being too fruity or over ripe (its only 13%). And a great deal at what works out to be $12.50 a bottle, and it is organic to boot. 13% alcohol by volume
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.
