In October 2011 we first opened the doors at Madrona Wine Merchants. Thirteen years later we are still at it — looking for wines that taste better than their cost and sharing them with all of you. This weekend we have a diverse selection of wines to taste. but they all drink way above their dollars.

Friday

2022 Raimund Prüm Solitär Riesling Trocken (Dry) $15
100% Riesling
Mosel, Germany
Struck by tangs of lime and lemon, this dry white offers mouthwatering pear and apple flavors with a stony, mineral finish. And a mere 11.5% alcohol by volume.

Saturday

2021 Tahbilk Viognier $14
100% Viognier
Australia
A rich Auzzie white. Rose petal, ginger spice and apricot aromas. The palate is all about ripe stone fruits, bright citrus notes, more spice, and acidity to wrap it all up.

2020 Château La Gabarre Bordeaux Supérieur $17
45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc
This very fresh and fruity Bordeaux red offers violet notes, candied red

berry aromas, fresh tannins and a juicy taste of blackcurrant and blackberries.

Sunday

2021 Terra Rossa Rosso di Montalcino $15
100% Sangiovese
A good deal Tuscan Red. Raspberries, sour cherries and some sweet spices notes on the nose. Fresh, medium bodied, soft tannins.
