Wolverine Wine of the Week!
Your wine expert, Andy, has picked some wines that will be fun to drink now that the weather is starting to warm up. Beautiful bottles that everyone will like!
Domitia Picpoul de Pinet deviates from what is expected (estate Picpoul) as the lion’s share of the wines from this AOC are produced in the cooperatives. The wine shows surprising complexity with notes of spring flowers and a streak of minerality that provide a beautiful framework. Because the wine finishes with such clean and bracing acidity, the rich mid-palate of melon and stone fruit is a delightful surprise. This delicious wine begs for warm & sunny days, shellfish & seafood. Regular price: $13.99. On sale for $10.99.
Miraval is also a dry rose with a pretty pale color, petal pink and elegant. This 2017 presents a very beautiful and intense aromatic feeling of fresh fruit and spring flowers. In the mouth, the acidity is refreshing leading to that Jolly Rancher fruitiness; a great elegance and a nice balance dominate, with a smooth finish. The wine is issued from the Château’s best parcels (Muriers, Longue, Romarin), and from selected parcels in the best terroirs of Provence. Regular price: $29.99. On sale for $22.99.
Diamarine dry Rose is pale pink, very expressive on the nose and refreshing. Deliciously tangy on the palate with fresh fruit and citrus peel aromas leading to a very elegant finish. Pair with fish or salads. It is delicious all on it’s own! Regular price: $16.99. On sale $13.99.
Wolverine Market wants to make your life easier. Did you know you can call your order into the store. Give us about 30 minutes and pick up at the curb or in our back parking lot. We can also deliver your wine to your house!
Don’t forget beer lovers! Wolverine Market has a growler set up! Four great beers on tap which include Oddside Brewery Hipster Brunch Stout, Shorts Batch 10,000, Southern Tier Creme Brulee and finally Tree Bucket from Brewery Vivant. You can bring your own glass, but if you don’t have a growler or a howler, we have them here to purchase. $7 for the howler and $10 for the growler. Don’t miss out on these because once they’re gone we can’t get them again

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
