It looks to be a week of beautiful Autumn weather here in Madrona.  The skies are clearing and the leaves are rustling across the ground. After you finish raking up a few of them swing by the wine shop and reward yourself for the hard work.  We’ve have a great line up to suit the season.  But first, before we get to that we are sampling,, there are a couple of things to mention.

Thursday is Halloween!!  Madrona Wine and other neighborhood businesses will be handing out candy to trick or treaters. We’ll also have a little treat for the adults so dress up and come on by.  This is also the last week to get a look at our current art show. Between Summer and Fall oil studies by Suzanne Brooker.  Now for the wines:

2018 Weather Station Fumé Blanc  $15
Sauvignon Blanc
Fumé yields polished flavors that are fresh and lively with enticing grapefruit, pineapple and spicy characters that unfold nicely on the smooth finish. Barrel-aged for six months, this wine is creamy and delicious. 13.5% alcohol by volume
2013 Finn Hill L’ Abime Syrah $15
A big hitting WA Syrah takes a drop in price. Char, firepit, barrel spice and herb aromas lead to elegantly styled cranberry flavors in this wine. The tannins lend a light structure. Was $30 now $15
