Saturday, March 2nd
6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Join us as we celebrate Camp Laughing Loon at their 4th annual wine tasting and silent auction. This event grows bigger every year with last year’s turnout in the hundreds. We will be sampling 30+ wines and a small selection of beer. This event is $15 in advance. Tickets will be available at Madden Beverage. The wine list is still being built but there is sure to be a great variety of high quality wines to sample. The silent auction will offer great prizes including a Madden Beverage gift basket and gift card. Hors d’oeuvres will be served and there will be music and dancing until close. This event is for a great cause and is only slightly more than a movie ticket. I would highly encourage anyone interested in wine to attend.
Come join us for a wine tasting and find one for your Thanksgiving table!
WHERE: Madden Beverage and Brewing Supplies, 335 North Street, Saco, Maine.
WHEN: Saturday, November 19th, 3-6pm
We we will be tasting 8 different wines in all. Below is a description of a few of the ones to be sampled!
Novellum Chardonnay Fresh, crisp and lively, with great apple, pear, peach and fig notes, with a long and clean finish. Just a kiss of oak has an influence on this wine.
Loredona Riesling The 2009 Loredona Vineyards Riesling is a great blen of orange, honeysuckle and white nectarine. The residual sugars blend perfectly with the citrus notes to bring a balanced and fresh wine as a result.
Voga Italia Pinot Grigio Pinot Grigio is the most popular white wine produced in northern Italy. Voga is full and rich, with fresh ripe apple and pear aromas, and delicious juicy flavors.
Pink Truck Califonia Wine This wine is an intense blend of the most forceful red varietals. Mourvedre, Grenache and Zinfandel combine to bring out juicy and bright flavors of citrus, fruit and zesty orange. This is a greatly refreshing wine with unique and complex flavors.
*Pairs well with ham.
Join us on Saturday, November 12th from 3-6pm as we team up with Peak Organic and Bar Harbor Brewing Company to offer a unique selection of Maine beers for Maine Beer Week. This event is taking place in our store at 335 North Street and is free to the public.
Peak Organic is a small craft brewing company dedicated to making delicious, handcrafted ales using only the finest artisanal ingredients.
From Peak Organic we will be featuring their Hops Noir, a delectable Black IPA, dripping with piney, aromatic Centennial hops. The malt base is dark and rich, anchored by organic black malt. This provides a strong foundation for the extravagant kettle hopping and dry-hopping that this beer experiences. Enjoy with a night-light.
Soon, Peak will also be releasing their newest offering, Local ME, which is a collaboration with local farmers to produce a beer using all local ingredients. The recipe will stay the same, but will be created with ingredients only from the state featured on the bottle. Inconsistencies will be attributed only to the differences in local harvests. More on these new offerings here.
Bar Harbor Brewing Company – (Hailing from Bar Harbor, ME) has been producing great tasting and award winning beers for twenty years. Bar Harbor operates a small brewery and only produces about 8320 gallons of beer per year.
The most likely feature for our tasting this weekend will be the Thunder Hole Ale, a delicious, full-bodied, and complex brown ale. This is the brown ale that beat Newcastle, Sam Adams and more, at the World Beer Championships in Chicago. Cadillac Mountain Stout will most likely be on our table this weekend as well. This thick and full stout maintains great flavors of chocolate and is balanced will with hops. This beer won World Champion for dry stouts in 1995 and was also featured in Men’s Journal as the best hart to find beer in America.
This event is being offered in tandem with Maine Beer Week, which is running from November 10th to 17th and will feature Maine brewers at various locations throughout Southern Maine. For more information on Maine Beer Week please visit http://www.mainebeerweek.com
