Welcome Cork’s weekly newsletter.

Well the Redsox wine tasting was a huge success. We have pre-sold all of the wine we are supposed to receive sounless they up our order we will no longer be taking orders for these wines. I hope Charlotte (the lucky winner of our Sox tix) enjoys the game and the rest of you had fun at the tasting.


Tonight’s beer tasting is with Mark from Smuttynose. He will sample you on the Shoals Pale Ale, Old Brown Dog Ale, IPA, Robust Porter, Hanami Ale, Portsmouth Lager and their Summer Weizen. We do very well with these beers and this is a great opportunity to sample some of the flavors you haven’t tried yet. The tastingis from 4:30 to 7:30 PM and as always you will receive 10 % off any Smuttynose products that evening.


Just back from her trip to Italy Nicole from Arborway Wines will be here for Fridays wine tasting from 4 to 7 PM. We will start with a couple of French wines first then move on over to Italy for the rest. First up is a delicious true French White Burgundy called Fernand-Vergelesses. Next up is Domaine Clavel which is a Rose from the Languedoc.

In case you haven’t seen a trend I’m determined to turn you folks on to “real” blush wines. So with that in mind we have the new addition to the Zaccagnini line (the wines with the twig on the bottle). Yes, it’s the Zacagnini Montepulciano Rose. I’ve yet to try it myself but we sell a boatload of the regular Montepulciano so I think this will be a hit. We will also sample the Manzone Dolcetto D’Alba, and last but not least the always popular La Morandina Moscato D’Asti.

We are still making plans for our 1st annual Customer Appreciation Day. We have picked thedate which will be Saturday, July 14th from 1 to 4 PM. We will have hamburgers and hot dogs as well as a couple of beer tables and a few wine reps here to taste you on some great summer wines. We will also have raffles and giveaways so be sure to save the day on your calendar. Be sure to check the website (corksfinewine.com) for updates on this and all the upcoming events here at Cork’s.
