Here are two things that we are excited about this weekend.
First: Mark & I are happy to welcome Patrick Tefft to our team at Madrona Wine. Patrick lives in the neighborhood, has frequented our shop pretty much from the time we opened, and knows a thing or two about a good glass of wine. He’ll be holding down the fort on the weekends at the shop. Stop in and say hi.
Second: We have returned to having a bottle open to sample as you browse the shop. While we aren’t back quite yet to our pre-covid Saturday events, it is nice to be able to offer a taste of some of the new things that have arrived at the store. This Saturday it’s a great deal on an old-vine Beaujolais. A perfect match to our smokey Fall weather.
2019 Henry Fessy, Beaujolais Villages Vieilles Vignes $13
This old vine Gamay shows raspberry, red-apple, licorice and mushroom aromas. It’s medium-bodied with sleek tannins, bright acidity and earthy undertones.
