I hope you all had a good New Years.

It always amazes me how last minute and how much Champagne we sell leading up to New Years. What an incredible Patriot game last week on their way to their perfect season and Super Bowl. This reminds me that we are less than a month away from Super Brew III. This is one of the 2 huge beer tastings we do each year. It will
be on Saturday, February 2nd from 2 to 5 PM. This is the day before the Super Bowl and a great chance to try some new beers and to stock up for the big game. Be
sure to check the website (corksfinewine.com) for details and updates as the event drawers closer.

We are going to take this week off from beer and wine tastings. It’s just very slow this time of year as I’m sure most of you have beer and wine left over from the holidays. Plus the Cork’s stock crew is going to the Bruins game tonight and won’t be around for the tasting. Did anybody see that crazy outdoor hockey game in a blizzard before
72,000 fans in Buffalo? That was just wild. OK that covers me for '08 with my 1 hockey reference.

We will be shifting to our new Winter Hours here at Cork’s. Sunday will remain the same from noon to 5 PM. Monday through Saturday we will now open at 10 AM and close at 9 PM.

We’re going to take the mystery out of this week’s mystery discount. Although we solda bunch of sparkling wine for the holidays we still have quite a bit left over. So we will 15 % off any Cava, Prosecco, Sparkling Wine, or Champagne. This goes for anything from Andre to Cristal and everything in between. This is a great opportunity to stock up for
the Pat’s Super Bowl run, the Celtics 17th Championship, or the Sox back to back to the regular weekly mystery discount you don’t automatically get the 15 % off unless you mention it to the cashier and usually say something crazy. But due to the writers strike I have nothing original and will spare you the embarrassment from this week. Just be sure to tell the cashier that you are buying the mystery specials wines.
