Wolverine Wine of the Week!
You really need some sunshine in your wine glass so this week Andy has picked 3 fanatic Roses to enjoy on hot summer days. All from France, they are the finest Roses coming from these regions of the country.
Mas Champart from appellation Saint-Chinian is a dry rose, very crisp. Mild cherry aroma and flavors. Very refreshing and clean on the palate. It’s from the Loire Valley in Northern France just 30 miles from the Rhone Valley. Famous for so many different wine regions including Sancerre and Vouvray. The longest wild river in the world runs right through this region, cutting through the heart of France east to west, making it an ideal place to grow grapes. A must buy! Regular price $16.99. On sale for $14.99!
Maison No 9 is a beautiful wine with a stunningly bright and soft shade of pink. Intense and inviting aromas of freshly-picked fruit, it reminds you of strolling through a flower garden. Scents of ripe pineapple, fresh pear and strawberry meet hints of sweet French confections. From the first taste it is zippy, fresh and dances crisp across the tongue. The incredible acidity is met by fresh red and tropical fruits that balance with a clean finish. This dry, classic Rosé is wonderfully balanced and round with a texture that is mouthwatering and savory. Regular price: $22.99. On sale $19.99.
Whispering Angel Rose is back on sale! It’s a customer favorite and Andy is discounting it again so you can stock up. It is a lovely rose showing excellent fruit and a smooth touch on the finish. Pair its bright red fruit and lively mineral notes with fresh seafood, sushi or salads! Regular price: $23.99. On sale for $17.99!
Are you looking for organic wines? Andy has stocked up on Our Daily Red at great price. There are many different styles to choose from so come in and check it out!

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
