Autumn is one of the most enjoyable times of the year. With the leaves changing into bright yellows and oranges, paired with the cooler temperatures and all things pumpkin, fall is perfect. What’s even better is spending the season in the gorgeous terrain of Northern California.
We love Maryland, but there’s something about dreaming of a picturesque French château in Wine Country, feeling a gentle autumn breeze and staring at wide-open vineyards. Now that we’ve got you daydreaming, let’s take a look at this month’s specials that’ll make you wish you were California born and raised:
Entrée Specials:
7 oz. Beef Tenderloin Steak:
This steak is cut “in-house,” and topped with triple cream Brie and balsamic reduction. Accompanied by hardwood-grilled tomatoes, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes, this meal is worth every bite. 23.9
Featured Wines:
Trinity Oaks, Medium Oaked Chardonnay: St. Helena, Calif. –
This medium bodied white wine has complex varietal aromas of citrus and pineapple flavors with a top note of sweet oak. As one of the top wines in Napa County, Calif., try a glass for 7 or a bottle for 24
Valley of the Moon, Cabernet Sauvignon: Sonoma County, Calif. –
A red wine with aromas of dark cherry and currant, complimented by smooth tannins, you will love this California beauty. Try a glass for 11 or a bottle for 38
Take a trip to Wine Country every Wednesday with half-off any bottle of wine.
Featured Cocktails:
For October, Madrones is bringing back a sweet fan favorite and introducing a cheeky drink that might be only for the brave:
The “Retro Classic”: Maryland Mule –
This cocktail is back by popular demand. California seems great, but this drink is 100 percent Maryland. The Mule is zesty and cold as it’s paired with Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey, ginger beer, and fresh-squeezed lime juice. Try it for 8
The “Hipster”: Patron Pear Margarita –
A combination of Patron Silver tequila, Patron Citronage, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and sweet prickly pear cactus from the Golden State creates a subtle, earthy flavor. 8.5
Local Drinks:
Madrones Pickle Back, featuring Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey –
Though the West Coast is dreamy, no one does drinks like our home state. Two of Maryland’s finest come together for this mouth-watering combination. Baltimore-distilled whiskey with caramel, cinnamon, honey, molasses, nutmeg, and vanilla bean flavors paired with our house-made pickle juice side-by-side. Try it for 7.5
Here, we’re all about hometown pride, but the West Coast is undoubtedly a destination that’s on everyone’s bucket list. With Wine Country, the stunning Sierra Nevada, cliff-lined beaches, and redwood forests, California is beautiful. Though, skip the plane ticket, and come to Madrones where the Pacific state shines through our specials.
From all of us at Madrones, we can’t wait to see you.
