The Sun is out all weekend here in Madrona.  At Madrona Wine we’ll be enjoying the good weather until we break down and turn on the air-conditioner. With or Without the A/C we have a weekend of cool things happening at the shop

Saturday we’ll be tasting the New Releases from ANIMALE.  The wines are in transport from Ballard and checking them out starting at 2pm.  There is a new Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and a Reserve Petite Sirah.  There’s something to fit in any BBQ or cellar.

Sunday it’s L’Adventure d’Languedoc.  The French government offered to buy a round for the house so we took them up on it.  Stop by on Sunday and join the fun as we pour six wines from the Languedoc showcasing the variety of the region. And from 1 to 4 we’ll have a Languedocesse expert here to answer all your questions.
