Finally some warm sunny weather and the Sox still basking in the afterglow of the sweep of the evil empire.  Hopefully they don’t return the favor in the Bronx this weekend.  Be sure to check out our new arrival and seasonal beer display in the front of the store.  It’s constantly changing and has a bunch of new brews and beers we will be tasting in the coming weeks. 

Tonight’s beer tasting is a launch of a new line for us at Cork’s from Brooklyn Brewery.  We’ve done the Post Road Pumpkin Ale from them in the fall and had great success with it.  Brooklyn Lager, Brooklyn Brown Ale, and Brooklyn Pennant Ale are in stock in 6 packs ready to be sampled.  Unfortunately the summer brew is still not available but when it comes in we will try it then.  They also have a large format called Local 1.  It’s made from German hops and Belgian yeast.  It comes in a cool 750 ml bottle and promises to be quite yummy.

For Friday nights wine tasting we will feature 2 new mini lines.  First we have the Chardonnay and Merlot from Stevenot.  These wines are outstanding and used to retail in the upper teens.  They have recently shifted wholesalers and now can be found in the $10.99 (2 for $20) bins in the front of the store.  Next up is The Jibe Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.  These delicious wines come from the Marlborough region of New Zealand.  They come in a cool sail label and can be found in a display in the front of the store.

Be sure to check out the website for links and info on these 2 and all the new wines  and beer that have arrived in the last few weeks. You can also check out the newCork’s gear on the site.  For those who know Ted the Wine Dog he will be going in for his annual “stop the shedding!” haircut this weekend.  So to keep him warm until the weather really turns warm he will be sporting the new Cork’s doggy t-shirt.  So be sure to stop by and check him out.
