Well
the Sox sure made it interesting; hopefully most of you
stayed awake for that memorable game 5 comeback. But
alas the Rays were just a little younger, healthier, and
I hate to admit it…better. It was nice to see the Pats
smoke Denver Monday night to help us turn the page. And
with the Celts raising banner # 17 and opening up next
week that should help as well. As promised we will be
having an end of season sale on the Redsox wines. We
will close them out at $10.99 or 3 for $30. These make
great gifts for the holidays so hurry in before they are
all gone.
We have a new rep from Newport Storm out of RI making
his tasting debut tonight. He’s so new I don’t even know
his name yet, but I am a longtime fan of this excellent
local brewery. We will sample their flagship Hurricane
Amber Ale, RI Blueberry Ale, and Cyclone Series
“Isabel”. We also have the last of their outstanding
Regenschauer Oktoberfest and a sneak peek at their
Winter Ale to taste as well. So come join us tonight
(Thursday) from 4:30 to 7:30 and help support our local
breweries!
I’m thinking no wine tasting this week as I don’t have
anybody lined up, and we’ll take a break and get the
store ready for the big tasting on November 7th. I am
leaning towards doing a Halloween themed tasting next
week building up to our 4th Annual Grand Holiday Wine
Tasting. I’m just now piecing the lineup together but it
will be scaled back a bit like the last big beer
tasting. We will still have plenty of new and
interesting wines as well as some of your favorites to
try. I will be updating the website (corksfinewine.com)
with details as the event draws closer.
We will have a bonus Halloween beer tasting this
Saturday from 4 to 6 PM. Vinny promises me a “Bud Girl”
this time…hmmmm…Vinny in drag for a Halloween party?
Either way he/she will have Redhook Harvest Ale, Magic
Hat Jinx, Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale, and Beck’s
Oktoberfest for you to sample. We will also have a
special prize for anybody who comes in a costume for the
tasting. We are rapidly running out of our huge
selection of Oktoberfest/Pumpkin/Autumn beers, so this
weekend would be a great time to stock up before the
winter brews arrive.
Oh yea, Ted wanted me to remind you of the closeout
specials we have on wine. As we try to bring in new and
different wines for the holiday tasting we have to make
room and closeout some of the slower selling wines. If
you’re not familiar with our closeouts they are on a
round rack up front, and 1 side of our big 4-way display
up front. They have colored stickers on the top of the
bottles. These closeouts specials are so good Ted won’t
even let me disclose them in the e-mail. But just ask
me, Ted, or any of the cashiers and you will be
pleasantly surprised at the incredible clearance prices
on these wines.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
