It looks to be another cold but sunny weekend as we wait for next week’s warmth, (relatively) and rain to return.  At Madrona wines we have a few things lined up to keep you warm.

Saturday we have a full line up of new discount wines as our distributors clean up their warehouses.  There are some great values here and we’ll start pouring them at 11am so you can stop in before the Seahawks game if you want to stock up.
2012 Quintessence Pouilly Fume Was $22 now $12
2012 Quintessence Chinon  Was $20 now $12
2013 Ollivier Hillaire, Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes  Was $20 now $17
2011 Mantellassi,  Punton del Sorbo Was $21 now $13
2007 Bacalhôa,  Sò  Was $20, Now $15

Sunday, all day we are featuring two organic wines from Piedmont.

2014 Popolo di Indie Bianco del Popolo  $11
100% Cortese
A declassified Gavi, made by Terre di Mate for Indie wines. It’s round, fresh and fun.

2015 Popolo di Indie Vino Rosso $13
45% Nebbiolo, 35% Barbera, 20% Dolcetto
The Barbera brings the acidity and bright fruit, the Nebbiolo brings the tannins and the aromatics, and the Dolcetto brings the softness and rounds out the blend. Good Piedmont juice at a great price.

And Sunday is the Artist Reception for our new show Elements of Landscape Drawing by Suzanne Brooker.  Stop by from 3 to 5 pm and check out the show and hang out with the artist.

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.
