Madson Wines Free Tasting & Bar Takeover

Raleigh Wine Shop welcomes Cole Thomas – winemaker and founder of Madson wines – to the shop for a free tasting and bar takeover.
Cole Thomas comes to wine the honest way – through agriculture. Before stepping into the cellar, he worked as an organic vegetable farmer, edible landscaper, and helped run the Demeter Seed Library, a nonprofit focused on seed saving. That foundation still shows up in everything he does.
