It was an eventful night Thursday night in Madrona. Someone first smashed a window at the pub, then came across the street and shattered the front window of the shop. So even though we look all boarded up, we are still open and getting ready for Thanksgiving. Whether you are having the traditional meal this coming Thursday or some other delicious repast, we have the wine to make the day more festive. This weekend we are tasting just few wines that might be good pairings.

We will be closed Thanksgiving Day, but open again on Friday to help you out of your food coma.
