Beverages to Celebrate With

The Co-op’s wine manager has selected some special bottles of bubbly to cheer your Valentine. If sparkling wine isn’t for you, we are featuring the Floating Rock Zinfandel from Washington and locally crafted Honey Moon’s Raspberry Mead. Honey Moon’s Raspberry Mead is a blend of mead from blackberry honey and raspberry wine both produced in Whatcom County. It has distinct berry aromas and a tart finish and is especially good paired with cheeses and desserts.
