DESCRIPTION:Most champions pop the cork only after winning\, but the expe
 rts at The Wine ConneXtion will be popping corks all through the month o
 f March. As the nation&rsquo\;s favorite tournament is taking place on b
 asketball courts across the country\, The Wine ConneXtion\, located in N
 orth Andover\, MA\, is joining the madness with its own month-long playo
 ff to determine the best bottle of wine under $25. Over 30 sommeliers\, 
 media personalities\, chefs and restaurateurs will choose their favorite
  wines\, and The Wine ConneXtion will pit these selections head-to-head 
 in a single elimination battle for wine supremacy. There will be prelimi
 nary tastings held every Saturday in March beginning March 10th\, 2012. 
 From 12:00PM to 5:00PM each week guests will taste 10 player&rsquo\;s wi
 nes and vote on their three favorites! The top three weekly wines will m
 ake it to the final tasting round on Saturday\, March 31st\, 2012\, when
  one bottle (and one player) from the nine finalists will be crowned the
  "March Wine Madness" champion! Throughout the entire month of March gue
 sts can peruse the aisles of the Wine ConneXtion and learn more about th
 eir favorite March Wine Madness player&rsquo\;s wine choice\, which will
