Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend and at Madrona Wine we will be using that extra hour of sunlight in the evening to toast the coming of Spring.

Saturday we have an outstanding tasting of Italian Wines slated to start at 2pm.  It is not often we get to show off a Brunello.
2014 Tenuta Nera, La Novella 
2014 Filodivino, Lacrima di Morro
2014 Terre Nere, Etna Rosso
2011 Tenuta Fanti, Sassomagno, Sant Antimo
2010 Tenuta Fanti,  Brunello di Montalcino Vallocchio

Sunday we spring forward with two great everyday reds for the longer evenings.

2014 Nicosia, Frappato $10
Created from an ancient grape variety typical of southeastern Sicily, this wine is distinctive for its pleasantly fragrant bouquet of fresh red fruits, raspberries and blueberries, while its taste is both lively and soft.

2010 Castillo de Daroca, Selection Especial $9
Old Vine Grenache
A great little Spanish value. Dusty earth texture and smoky black currants and blueberry fruits along with well-knit tannins.

Breeze by the shop and check them out.

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.
