Photo Archive – Monsoon is For Lovers Grand Opening
We officially celebrated our grand opening on February 26th, 2022 (a full three months after we opened our doors for the first time). We were letting the market grow organically and we didn’t want to rush this phase. Okay, we were also waiting on our liquor license to clear so that we could introduce natty wine into the shop LOL. When it came to throwing our christening party we rounded up some of the homies who’ve been there since day one, plus a few new friends of ours. It was time to have some fun! We felt like we really…
The Girl Scouts at Monsoon Market
We asked our friends, the Girl Scouts, to join us this past Sunday to close out the last weekend of the season for cookies. It was the perfect opportunity to host them during the super poppin’ Wang’s Vintage “Sunny Day Market,” a vintage flea market that happens in our parking lot once a month. With a mixed crowd of market regulars and slightly-stoned teenagers looking to score on some vintage clothing, you can imagine it’s the perfect place for the Girl Scouts to be posted. The girls might be a little young to be hanging around wine shops, but they…
A Dry-ish January recap from your friends at Monsoon Market
Misch here, finally wrapping up Dry January, or “damp Jan.” as we are calling her. Let’s be real, it’s tough to cut out alcohol entirely when you own a natural wine shop. Nevertheless, I did my best to eliminate as much drinking as possible and subbed in some seriously tasty non-alcoholic beverages in place. Luckily, Monsoon Market has the best non-alcoholic beverage selection in Phoenix, tucked inside our little wine store. Although it was tough, our n/a drinks made the challenge a whole lot easier. Let’s dive in (to the n/a section)! Why participate in Dry January? People drink, and…
Super Bowl at Monsoon Market
As we prepare for Super Bowl LVII, we’re rounding up our favorite natural wines and snack selections from Monsoon Market. Natural wine might not be the first thing you think of when you’re planning your Super Bowl grocery list, but trust us when we say that a bangin’ natural wine will reign supreme at your Super Bowl party. What exactly is “natural” wine? Just like the big game, you’ve probably been hearing a lot about natural wine around town — so what is it, and why should we be drinking it during this year’s Super Bowl Sunday game? Natural…
Meet the Monsoon Market co-founders
Michela and I met nearly ten years ago working at a coffee shop in town. No surprise that our work relationship turned into a friendship and we’ve supported each other in our separate ventures over the years, like Michela’s first business The Early Bird PHX. I, Koral, spent my time working in corporate leadership and retail management and while enjoying my career I always yearned for a business of my own. As the world began to shift in the summer of 2020, we found ourselves together, dreaming about the business we wished existed. We met every Monday at The Shop…
!! Fresh Bread On Thursdays !!
Sleep through the farmers market again? It’s chill! Fresh loaves of local, delicious Noble Bread, are dropped off at the market every Thursday before noon. And while you’re there, why not pick up one of our favorite bread accessories? We think these would be Vogue approved… Ghia Ghianduja (ghee-yawn-doo-yah), an out-of-this-world hazelnut spread and when paired with banana toast will transport you back to your childhood. Graza “Drizzle” Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a little sea salt, another tried and true bread accessory we all know and love. Truly never goes out of style… Some tinned fish for the Hot…
