Wolverine Wine of the Week!
Oooo-La-La! Andy’s gone French with his Wine of the Week picks this time around. He also picked a couple of his favorites from Washington and California!
The Rook is a Merlot from Washington State. It was small-lot fermented and aged in neutral French oak to keep the bright fruit flavors lively. Showing red and black fruits, sarsaparilla, orange peel, cinnamon and tobacco, this crispy textured red is balanced by fine grained tannins and a rich, pillow-soft midpalate. So delicious all on it’s own! Regular Price $16.99. On sale for $13.99.
Blue Rock Baby Blue is a Sonoma County, California blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, 7% Syrah, 6% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Franc. Loads of flavor immediately upon first sip. Decante 2 hours and the wine really opens up nicely. Moderate tannins support fresh berries, currant, plum, herbs and subtle earth notes. Excellent now, will only get better with time. Regular price $29.99. On sale for $24.99.
The Les Vins De Bordeaux gift box is a GREAT deal and so exciting. Consisting of Chateau Haut Branda 2018, Chateau Lalene Superieur 2016 and Chateau Caruel Cotes de Bourg 2016 these wines are full bodied and fun. All are a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc which makes them silky and dry with nice earthy notes. Thinking ahead to Thanksgiving, this gift set will be a great hostess gift for anyone serving dinner that day or to dress up your own holiday table. Looking for a unique Christmas present? Buy now and save $10 off the price. The wines will age well and impress any wine lover. Regular price $49.99. On sale (while supplies last) for $39.99!

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
