Wolverine Wine of the Week!
Easter is approaching in a few more weeks. Andy is putting special wines on sale now to have with your Easter dinner. It’s never too soon to grab some great bottles!
Querceto Chianti Classico Reserva D.O.C.G. is an intense ruby red wine from Tuscany, Italy. With glints of garnet, this wine offers a full and well-expressed bouquet. On the palate, it is dry and austere, showing elegant tannins. The ideal accompaniment to roasts and other red meats. Regular price: $24.99. On sale for $19.99.
The Calling Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast of California. A vibrant nose with enticing aromas of white peach, white roses and honeysuckle. The crisp acidity on the palate is balanced by bright fruit notes of Gravenstein apple, pear and stone fruit that linger with a refreshing, elegant finish. This is a top notch Chardonnay, delicious and rich. It’s a high end wine without the high end price. Serve with mild and sharp cheese. Chicken, pork, fish if you wanted to. Regular price: $29.99. On sale for $24.99.
The Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvee is also from Sonoma County, California. Refreshing red wine with aromas of black cherries and blackberries lifted by vanilla and warm baking spices. This leads into a light-to-medium bodied palate of more dark fruit, savory cocoa and earth, while dusty tannins and mouth-watering acidity leave a lingering freshness. As with previous vintages, this wine is ready to pair with a myriad of cuisines, or enjoy on its own, knowing it will leave you wanting more. Regular price: $21.99. On sale for $16.99.
Don’t forget there are bottles of Josh varieties on sale for a FABULOUS price. Make sure you buy a case before they are gone. Based on what variety you purchase, all have great prices by the case. All Josh Reserve wines at an amazing low price.
Just to reassure you, we will be open for business. Come on in and say hi and stock up on your snacks, wine, beer and unique liquor. We appreciate and thank you for your business and want to keep everyone smiling! We are closing one hour early each day for now (except Sunday which is the same hours). We will go back to normal soon.
Andy is a certified sommelier (wine expert) and can help with any of your wine questions and needs. Stop in and take a look at the hundreds of wines available at Wolverine Market. There is no place like it!

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
