Science has proven that a prudent dose of Wine makes friends and family much more acceptable. There are two days left until Thanksgiving when you will most likely be exposed to a large ration of one or both.
Madrona Wine will be Open Tuesday and Wednesday from Noon to 6pm in order to guarantee that you have enough wine available to make it through Thursday.
Science has also proved that shopping for wine is much more pleasant if there something to taste. We have a couple of things in mind. Both go with Turkey.
Tuesday we’ll be pouring:
2020 Soie d’Ivoire La Lisse $13
Chenin Blanc
This ripe yet crunchy fruit gives this wine it’s freshness, vigor and spine, at the same time it’s luscious texture which is further complemented and enriched from one third vinified and matured for nine months in seasoned French oak barrels.
Wednesday we’ll pop the cork on:
2016 Domaine Blachon Saint-Joseph Blanc $25
95% Marsanne, 5% Roussanne
From one of the Northern Rhône’s premier white wine vineyards, “Les Oliviers,” Notes of croissants, honey, dried apricot, and apples fill the glass. It’s wonderfully dry, has a full rich texture and plays well with exotic spices.
Wishing you a Happy Holiday.
