Cork's Weekly
Newsletter
August 2
2007 |
Welcome to Cork’s
weekly newsletter.
I hope you areall enjoying the great summer weather we
have
been having.
The Sox are hanging in, the Pats opened training camp
this
week right down the street, and even the Celtics are
relevant
once again with the addition of Kevin Garnett. It should
be
an exciting fall for our 3 local franchises (sorry
Bruins fans).
Speaking of the Redsox this weekend will be the last
weekend
to pick up any of the Redsox wines that were
pre-ordered.
You should all have received a phone call or e-mail
letting
you know that they were in. Starting Monday we will put
them
out for general sale and lift any quantity limitations.
Speaking of the Patriots season getting started - don’t
forget
to block out the Saturday before the Pats begin their
next
Super Bowl season. From 2 to 5 PM we will be having our
3rd
Annual Kickoff Beer tasting. This is one of the 2 huge
beer
tastings that we do each year and is always a blast. We
will
have a bunch of new beers to sample including all the
Octoberfests which should be in by then. We will also
have
our hugely popular raffle which includes the Redsox/Bud
Light
fridge that many of you have been lusting over.
This week’s beer tasting for tonight (Thursday
4:30-7:30) is
with Sherwood Forest Brewers. This local brewery just
came out
with an IPA that is delicious. It joins the Archer’s Ale
and
you can sample both this evening. You may have to
wrestle some
of the Dave Mathews groupies for a 6- pack but it will
be well
worth it.
Finally this Friday we will have a scaled down version
of a
wine tasting. I know most of you are busy and many of
you go
away for the weekends so our turnout has been quite
sparse the
last few weeks.
We will do just 2 new wines from Australia
this week. 1st up is a great summer blend called Cape
Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon. This wine comes from
vineyards just miles from the Indian Ocean in Western
Australia.
This delicious wine has flavors of citrus, melon with a
nice
minerality all balanced by vibrant acidity. Next is
Green
Point Cabernet/Shiraz. A gorgeous "cool climate" wine
from
Victoria Australia (south eastern coast), it has flavors
of
spice and pepper woven into dark berry and plum fruits
all
perfectly balanced.
Tom from Carolina Wines has promised
to pop in for a bit and taste you on these wines if it
does
not conflict with his all-u-can eat buffet schedule.
