Make a Move on Madison Market
Climb the Hill to Madison Market this Wednesday— and treat yourself an exceptional tasting from an incredible host: Joelle Hand, the Market’s experienced and taste-discerning wine steward (or “Wine Diva and Beer Baroness” as she puts it) is pouring a great lineup of wines and thinking ahead to how you will impress your guests, or how to impress the host of the party.
Here are the basics:

And here’s the line up as Joelle writes it:
“This month, I have chosen wines that pair well with holiday meals. Please join me.
Charlette Voyant Effervescent Touraine NV $12.99
Biodynamic sparkler for the Loire Valley. Pale yellow in color with a fine and persistent foam. Light and fresh. Delicious!
Dopff and Irion Gewurztraminer $19.99
Pale, cool and very fragrant. Dry , crisp and rose petal and honey suckle blossom aromas. Generous and bright with good saline minerality. Alsace.
Moulin a Vent Diochin Beaujolais Vieilles Vignes $24.99
“This ruby-coloured [2000] Moulin-à-Vent has appealing red cherry aromas. On the palate, it is medium bodied and has a layered personality filled with fresh bing cherries. It is dominated by fruit and has excellent grip, as well as a long, supple finish.”
The Wine Advocate #137, 89points
McKinlay Pinot Noir $19.99
Intense red and black fruits. Bright acidity with fine tannins. Incredible length. Willamette Valley. Don’t be fooled by the understated label.
Briederner Ruberberger Auslese GK Domherrenberg Riesling $34.99
Twenty-something winemaker Matthias Gorgen offers this gorgeous hand-harvested late-harvest wine from Mittelmosel. Succulent orange peel with a hint of ginger.
I hope to see you there!”
