Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter.
After a very successful launch of the Leinenkugel Sunset
Wheat last year they have finally introduced some new
flavors. We will have a Leinenkugel Beer Tasting on
Saturday April 26th from 5 to 7 PM. to launch their 3
new beers. Many who have tried the Sunset Wheat thought
that the beer was very good and that it had a strong
resemblance to the milk at the bottom of the bowl of
Fruity Pebbles or Fruit Loops. I know that sounds weird
but it really does… but in a good way. So along those
same lines we will sample you on Honey Weiss (Honey
Comb), Berry Weiss (Boo Berry or Captain Crunch with
Crunch Berries), and Summer Shandy a blend of Weiss beer
and lemonade (sorry can’t think of a cereal reference
for that concoction). All kidding aside these are really
good beers and will be great for the warm summer months.
We will have a wine tasting this Friday night from 4 to
7 PM. With the price of gas over $3.50 a gallon and food
prices (not to mention beer & wine as well) on the rise
I think it’s a good time to feature some bargain wines
this week. I’ve got a couple of new and a couple of old
(thanks Matt) 2 for wines that are great values. 1st up
is Osborne Solaz Blanco from Spain. Next is Barefoot
Moscato, a new addition to their popular lineup.
Principato Pinot Noir is fairly new as well and all 3 of
these wines are only $6.99 each or 2 for $12. While most
Chianti’s have risen into the $12 to $15 price point we
will try Melini Chianti at $8.99 (2 for $16) next.
Similar to the Solaz and the Melini that were brought in
by my predecessor the next wine I did not bring into the
store either. It’s Curious Beagle Cabernet and it was
brought in by Ted “the wine dog”. Hopefully it’s good
and will not end up on Ted’s bottom shelf special
section of the website. (corksfinewine.com/askted.htm)
Well the weather has been outstanding lately. The Redsox
are off to an excellent start. The Celtics are toying
with the lowly Hawks. If only the Bruins could have
pulled out game 7 (sorry Wallace). Don’t forget our 4th
annual Grand Spring Wine Tasting which will be on Friday
May 16th from 4 to 7 PM. We will also kick-off the
Tweeter Center season the day before with a Magic Hat
Beer tasting on Thursday from 4:30 to 7:30. This looks
to be the best Tweeter center lineup in many years and
with our full and expanding liquor section we want to be
your 1 stop package store for the upcoming concert
season.
