Thursday, September 18, 2008 Who wants to watch me this weekend? I'd like to thank all of you who attended last weeks 4th Annual Kick-off Beer tasting. I thought it went real well and was the perfect size for a big tasting. Going forward we plan to keep the same scaled back format for the wine tastings as well. Just more room to maneuver and actually have a chance to talk to the reps. The weather turned out perfect...the Pats destroyed the Jets on Sunday…and hopefully you got a chance to try some new and interesting beers. We will not have a beer tasting this week as we take a couple weeks off after the big event. We will get some scheduled soon as we go into the fall and holiday seasons. This weeks wine tasting will feature wines from Pannotia Vineyards. We will start with a delicious Riesling from the Rheinhessen region of Germany. From there the next 3 varietals are all from Mendoza, Argentina. Torrontes is a nice alternative white to the everyday Chardonnays and Pinot Grigios out there. Malbec is next and to me is the hottest varietal out there today. We will finish the lineup with Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines are a great value at $10.99 and you will also get 10 % off the night of the tasting. If that wasn’t enough there are rebates available for $2.00 on 1 bottle, all the way up to $25.00 on just 6 bottles!!

OK for those of you who are regulars here at Cork’s you all know Ted the wine dog. He seems to have his own lil cult following and everybody is always offering to watch him. Well as it turns out I’m heading to Maine for a few days this weekend and my usual dog sitters are not available. So if anybody is interested in taking the furry guy off my hands for a couple days please let me know. You can see his sad lil face hugging a bottle of his favorite wine on the front page of the website (corksfinewine.com) if that helps any. Heck I’ll even throw in a bottle of your favorite wine for your troubles. I hope you all have a great weekend.   Robert
