The moisture has returned to Madrona this weekend.  But don’t let the dampness dampen you Holiday spirit.  We have a couple of tastings here at Madrona Wine to make the season bright.

Saturday it is Bubbles!
Come effervesce with us.  The corks fly out at 2pm and we’ll be pouring for as long as the bubbles and bottles last.

Antoine Simoneau, Touraine Brut Blanc $13
Domaine de Saint-Just, Crémant de Loire Brut $20
Champagne Lallier, Grande Reserve, Grand Cru Brut $48
Maison Parigot & Richard, Cremant de Bourgogne Rosé $24

Sunday we head to California to warm up with.  We’ll have a Napa Sauvignon Blanc and a Central Coast Zinfindal from the sunny state.  Both are great for parties. 

2016 Markham Vineyards   $14
Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley
Crisp and bright, with honeysuckle and tropical floral notes. Enjoy with food, or just on its own.

2014 Four Vines Old-Vine Zinfandel  $14
A full-bodied Central Coast Zin at a good price. 35 to 80-year-old vines. Dark berry notes, a hint of spice, ripe plums and black & blue berries.

Next Week as we lead up to Christmas we are going to opening a lot of fun stuff to taste at the shop.  Swing in and see what’s pouring.

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.
