We have Mardi Gras on our minds this weekend at Madrona Wine. Fat Tuesday is just around the corner and we have lined up a full weekend of French wines to get your gris gris going.  Stop by and pick up something to go with the gumbo. 

Saturday we’re sampling Organic wines from Bordeaux and the South of France.

Sunday we’ll be sashaying in the second line with two more French quaffers.
2018 Les Deux Moulins Sauvignon Blanc   $13
Les Deux Moulins is located between Anjou and Tours, with vineyards made up of gravel and schist soils, which instill the wine with a vibrant and long-lasting mineral finish. The fruit is very bright and lively as well.Notes of lime, gooseberry, and a subtle grassiness. Organic. 12% alcohol by volume
2014 Château Les Marechaux Blaye   $15
Merlot, Cabernet Franc
A dusty and leathery Bordeaux from Blaye. A good match for rich meats. Was $18 now $15.

Madrona Wine Merchants offers free wine tastings featuring 3-5 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.
