Openings

The ice has melted, the rains returned, and the streets to the wine shop are wide open. Madrona Wine will be open today from noon to 6pm today for those last-minute holiday needs.  And we will be heading to the Burgundy section and opening a Pinot Noir to celebrate the day.  Stop by, see which one we pick out and have a taste.

Happy Holidays,
Jim, Mark, & Patrick

Everybody Loves A Mystery!

Who doesn’t love a mystery?  Here’s what we can tell you:
 
99% of these wines are Red (there is 1 bottle of tawny port floating around in there somewhere).
They all have stained labels (some just a little, some quite a lot).
They all normally sell for between $13 to $20 a bottle (a couple even more).
None of them were made in Woodinville.
First come first served.
 
2 bottles for $16 (11–Two packs available)
6 bottles for $48 (13 – Six packs available)
 
You’ll have to sleuth the rest out for yourself.

One Zero

We’re 10 Years Old (and sometimes act like it.)

Madrona Wine Merchants opened its door ten years ago mid-October as the leaves were turning and the rain settling in just as it is now.  Over the last decade we have rotated through over 6000 wines while trying to curate a diverse selection of interesting grape juice that is fun to drink and enlivens the palate.

Thanks to all of you who have supported us in this endeavor over the past 10 years and join us as we raise a glass to the future.

Cheers,

Jim & Mark
