Entrée Special
Shrimp Vernazza
Our first stop on this trip is to Vernazza, city built into the ocean cliffs of the Italian coastline. After your relaxing stroll along the harbor, enjoy our Shrimp Vernazza on your dinner cruise. Sautéed in a light lemon butter sauce, jumbo shrimp absorb the flavors of spring spinach, fresh tomatoes, and pine nuts mushrooms found in the forests overlooking the coast of Vernazza. Of course, because we’re in Italy, this dish is served over capellini. Try the Shrimp Vernazza for $19.20.
Featured Wines
La Marca, Prosecco
While we’re in Italy, be sure to sample our first featured wine. We’re serving a vibrant Prosecco from La Marca. This is the perfect pairing for the Shrimp Vernazza. This highly rated wine features aromas of apples and citrus while its bubbles enhance it’s light flavor notes. Try this wine for $9 a glass, $31 a bottle.
Arrogant Frog, Pinot Noir
Saying arrivederci to the Italian coast, we’re taking this show to France! Our second featured vin this month is a Pinot Noir from Arrogant Frog. This selection is overflowing with spring flavors including strawberries, cherries, vanilla, and soft spices. Try Arrogant Frog for $7 a glass or $24 a bottle.

Featured Cocktails
We want to make sure that your holiday is as relaxing as possible. We’re featuring two cocktails to help you celebrate being on vacation while paying tribute to the good old U S of A that we will always return to.
“Retro” Classic
This month’s Retro Classic cocktail is a Bourbon Sour. This in one of the foundational cocktails of the American tradition, dating back all the way to the first Bartender’s Guide in 1862. At Madrones we make our sours the right way. We supplement Maker’s Mark Bourbon with sugar and some lemon juice. Simple, straight forward, and quality. While enjoying your European Holiday, don’t forget the perks of living in the United States!
The “Hipster”
We’ve created this drink with vacations on the mind. Our second Featured Cocktail this month is a Lemon Meringue Martini. Have a picnic overlooking the beach and drink your dessert! This martini combines Smirnoff whipped cream vodka and lemonade with a graham cracker crust to seal the deal. You’ll swear you’re drinking a pie!
Come in to Madrones to try these specials throughout the month of May! Bring friends, family, and anyone else you think could use a European Holiday.
From all of us at Madrones, we’ll see you soon.
