French Today, Special Sippers Tomorrow.

It is Valentine’s Weekend here at Madrona Wine and we will have amorous French wines gushing out today starting at 2.  We love them and we think you will too.

Sunday, Mark will have a couple of sippers open to warm the heart.

Stop in and enjoy the Romance.

Super Bowl Wines.

Saturday we’ll be pouring some great wines from Veneto today starting at 2pm.  They are a perfect accompaniment for any Super Bowl gathering. Break out of the pack and drink something good during the game. And don’t forget to stock up on bubbles for that after game celebration. 

Sunday Mark will have something nice to reward those looking for last minute provisions or half time restocking.

Iberian Peninsula This Weekend.

The fog is burning off in Madrona.  There is no snow in the mountains for skiing.  There is no football.  So there is no reason not to swing by the wine shop and sample some fine wines from the Iberian Peninsula.

Saturday at 2pm we will be tasting our way through the different regions of Portugal.

Sunday we’ll be sampling a couple of great values from Spain.

It is almost as good as a vacation.

We Are Open And Pouring…

And in honor of Seahawks #7, Tarvaris Jackson, we have 6 European Gems and 1 lovey South American open in his honor… come check out our lineup.

And for the 12th Man in your life, come pick up a case and receive a 10% discount.

Open Today & Tomorrow 12-7pm

Just a reminder that we will be open today (Monday the 30th) and tomorrow (Tuesday the 31st) for those last minute New Year’s Eve emergencies. Stock up on that bubbly while our selection is the greatest.

And while you are in, take a look at the new art show hanging – our shop has gone to the birds!

For the Birds! Featuring new wallpaper birds by Heidi Randall.

There will be an artist reception on Sunday, January 12th from 3-5pm.

Holiday Hours

Solstice is here, the days are getting longer, Christmas is coming and New Year’s is just around the corner.  In order to keep up with the Holiday Festivity we’ll be open extra hours.  And of course to pass the time we’ll be tasting an interesting bottle or two throughout the week.  Stop in and see what’s open.
