Madrona Wine Merchants now carries the following specialty products, some available exclusively in Washington State.

Mama Lil’s Peppers: Pickeled Hot or Mildy Spicy. Try these local produced peppers either as a garnish for steaks, an Italian style appetizer. Save the oil for a dipping sauce.

Vignalta Herbed Sea Salt (Salle Alle Erbe delle Marlunghe): Perfect with grilled or broiled meat, fish or poultry — or just on roasted potatoes.

Arthur Bryant’s Original Recipe Barbeque Sauce: Imported directly from Kansas City, Arthur Bryants is exclusively sold in Seattle through Madrona Wine Merchants. Not only Calvin Trillin of the New Yorker’s favorite sauce, it’s the favorite sauce of Jim and Mark.

This event is SOLD OUT! Watch for our next special tasting event in January.

Just in time for the Champagne Season, Madrona Wine Merchants the announcement of their new temperature controlled wine cooler. Stop in for that cold bottle of bubbly, or even a white wine or two.

Look for us in early October.

I just wish we had a couple of dozen empties to show you the whole rack, well, that and the paint, stain and glass.

After a full day in the shop (wood, not wine) we have the center display cabinet mostly done.

The top will be laminated glass with a center bracing rail which will also hold the cards describing each of our hand-selected vintages.
