Wolverine Wine of the Week!
It’s a proven fact that drinking a glass of red wine and eating dark chocolate every day can rejuvenate your aging cells according to recent research at the universities of Exeter and Brighton! Dr. Andy is here to help with his Wine of the Week picks!
Joseph Carr Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 from Napa Valley California is aged in French Oak for 18 months and features notes of black currant, tobacco, coffee, black cherry and toffee. Full bodied, lush tannins and an integrated acidity lead to a long and elegant finish. Serve with beef, lamb, poultry or sip with some great dark chocolate! Regular price: $29.99, n sale for $24.99.
Rombauer Vineyards Carneros Chardonnay may not be red wine, but sure has its own healing properties. Enticing aromas of vanilla, peach and mango are layered with apricots, creme brulee, butter and a slight minerality. Those scents are echoed as flavors on the creamy, rich palate, along with peach, pie crust and baking spices. The long, smooth finish is marked by mouthwatering acidity. Just put your feet up, relax and enjoy this wine! We all need these mental health moments. Regular price: $39.99, on sale for $34.99.
Meiomi Pinot Noir 2017 is a blend of Pinot Noir grapes picked from three different Counties in California (56% Monterey, 26% Santa Barbara and 18% Sonoma). This offers the best expression of each of the vineyards chosen for Meiomi. Fruit aromas of bright strawberry and jammy fruit, mocha, vanilla combine with toasty oak notes. Boysenberry, blackberry, dark cherry, juicy strawberry and toasty mocha flavors lend a nice complexity. Well integrated oak provides structure seldom seen in Pinot Noir. Another great wine to sip while you eat chocolate! Regular price: $21.99. On sale for $17.99.

Meet Andy!
Andy Bakko opened Wolverine Market in 1991 knowing the beer and wine business was his next big thing, and he’s making the most of it.
A few years ago, what started as a fun trip with the some representatives from a wine company turned into a much larger endeavor. This trip involved the group taking the Level I Introductory Sommelier Course & Exam. Much studying was done beforehand, and everyone in the group passed the test—not a small feat.
Nobody else in the group continued the adventure to achieve a Master Sommelier title, but Andy caught the bug. He recently passed the second test, Level II Certified Sommelier Exam, and is close to passing the Level III Advanced Sommelier Course & Exam. Once he passes the Level III test, he’ll be one step away from achieving the Master Sommelier certification.
At the start of 2009, just 171 people in the world held that certification. Andy is the only advanced sommelier in the Blue Water Area and he doesn’t take it lightly. He very much enjoys hosting wine, beer and liquor tastings to share his knowledge with his customers, and he works very hard to bring the latest and greatest into the store.
“The more we know, the more we can share with our customers—the more we can help our customers. Our goal always is to provide the best service possible. Our customers are the most important part of our business—we learn as much from them as we hope they do from us.” ~ Andy Bakko
