Welcome to Cork’s Valentine’s newsletter.
Due
to our impending liquor license, my vacation to Oregon
next week and the fact that Easter is quickly sneaking
up on us we are going to postpone our 4th Annual Spring
Wine Tasting that was scheduled for March 12th.
There is just too much that will be going on as we shift
over half the store in preparation for the liquor, not
to mention the time it will take for the liquor to come
and get the section presentable. We will re-schedule
the tasting after Easter sometime later in the spring
when we can have the liquor and the entire store ready
for our usual “Grand Tastings”.
We
will be having a “Valentine” themed beer tasting today
(Thursday 2/14) from 4:30 to 7:30. Mr. Wallace will
start you with Redbach Kissed by Cherries from Belgium.
Staying in Belgium, next up is Horny Devil Ale from
Alesmith. And for the men out there who forget roses,
chocolates or at least a card we have Dead Guy Ale from
Rogue. Last but not least as I planned my Oregon
adventure to wineries I will also be visiting Rogue
Brewery. In my correspondence with them I was asked what
my favorite Rogue brew was. When I answered the
Chocolate Stout I got an e-mail back from Seb who told
me all about their outstanding beers and told me she was
the face on the Chocolate Stout bottle so we have to try
that as well.
Since Valentine’s Day is on a Thursday I’m sure many of
you will not celebrate until the weekend so let’s keep
the ball rolling with a Valentine wine tasting Friday
from 4 to 7 PM. Let’s kick it off with “Pink”
Australian Sparkling Wine from Yellowglen. Next up is a
blend of Shiraz/Grenache/Sangiovese called First Love.
For all the single guys out there how about spending the
weekend with Norma Jeane a Young Marilyn Merlot? I’m
not usually a Merlot fan myself but Red Rock Merlot is
one of the better Merlots I’ve had in awhile and will be
next. We will finish with D’esiree which is a chocolate
infused desert wine that you simply must try.
There will be no e-mail or tastings next week as I will
be checking the Celtics out on their west coast swing.
A quick liquor update, we have been approved by the ABCC
and should have the license sometime next week. We will
be moving wines and making room for liquor so please
pardon our appearance the next few weeks. We will be
closing out quite a few wines so be sure to check out
our clearance racks and displays for some great wine
bargains. A few random thoughts before I go…Woohoo…Redsox
pitchers and catchers report today! And what a prison
softball team they’re going to have with Roger
“misremembered” Clemens and Barry “big head” Bonds!!
