About Barbara Macfarlane

Barbara Macfarlane, owner of Marczyk Fine Foods, is always happy when she gets asked to talk about a favorite wine or spirit. "So many wines, so little time. So like our customers, I depend on the crew to tell me what's new, delicious, and noteworthy. It's true, I get stuck on faves, but the new wines coming in the door are so well chosen! So drink up Denver, we've been doing this for 20 years and we know what's cool!"

What Are We Drinking Now? Castro Martin A20 Albariño

Sierra is having dreams of warm breezes with this Albariño. Castro Martin A20 Albariño While we endure these last few weeks of winter, I can't help but dream of the days of warm breezes and picnics in the park. When these waves of wishful thinking hit, I reach for a bottle that encapsulates the meaning of all things springtime. Lately, it has been the A2O Albariño from Castro Martin. This refreshing wine from Pontevedra, Spain, boasts aromas of juicy melon with hints of wildflowers. As you sip, you'll get notes of tangy yellow peach and rich nectarine that's rounded off [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Jezebel

Abbie has a power due that doesn't overpower. Jezebel - White Blend & Pinot Noir Jezebel White Blend is a lovely blend of Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. This is a crowd-pleasing, easy-drinking, crisp, light and refreshing white with just a touch of sweetness. I drank it with some salty and spicy chicken fried rice and it paired beautifully. Jezebel Pinot Noir is a high-quality and food-friendly red — a lovely Pinot out of Oregon that is light and earthy with leathery soft tannins and hints of dark cherries. I paired this wine with an Italian cauliflower crust pizza and [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Krasno Sparkling Rebula

Devin has a Slovenian Sparkler for your Holidays. Yes, we said "Slovenian." Krasno Sparkling Rebula Not usually mentioned when thinking of wine-producing countries, Slovenia produces some exquisite wines, including this bubbler. Give your next mimosa or spritz a little extra sparkle. This wine, from Goriška Brda (yep, that's spelled correctly), the westernmost region of Slovenia (a.k.a. "The Tuscany of Slovenia"), is made from 100% Ribolla Gialla from 10–to–25-year-old vines. It presents shy aromas of green apple, then bursts with energetic tangerine interwoven with the soft, lingering minerality of marl. To preserve viticulture in Brda, traditional know-how is passed from the [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Château d’Aqueria Tavel Rosé

Barbara has a Rhône rosé for us, but rosé season is over. Or is it? Château d'Aqueria Tavel Rosé - Rhône Valley, France Now, you may ask yourself, why is there a rosé being featured as we move into cooler weather? Because there is such a thing as a fall rosé.
