Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Well the Sox are in
the World Series hunt for the 5th time in 6 years…the
Bruins are already playing exhibition games…the NBA
Champion Celtics start training camp in Newport this
weekend…and the Pats have a bye week to get over that
embarrassment last week. Mix in some cool nights and
Oktoberfest beers an d you can see why this is my
favorite time of year.
Speaking of Oktoberfests we are proud to be the only
retailer to take part in the Tri-Town Chamber of
Commerce Oktoberfest on Tuesday night October 7th from 5
to 7 PM at Mansfield Crossing. There are going to be 20
local restaurants there including Davio’s…Stoneforge…Trattoria
Della Nona…Bertuccis…Qdoba …Fridays to name just a few.
We will feature and taste our large selection of
Oktoberfest/Pumpkin/Autumn beers to help wash down all
the great food. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at
the door with proceeds going to the food pantries of
Mansfield, Norton, and Foxboro. Check our website
(corksfinewine.com) for a complete list of restaurants
and where to purchase tickets.
We don’t have a beer tasting scheduled for this week but
we will be sampling the brand new Budweiser American Ale
next Thursday. We do have a rookie to our weekly wine
tastings this Friday night from 4 to 7, as E ric from
Baystate Wines will be here to sample some of his
excellent wines. He will start you off with a delicious
Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region of New
Zealand called Alan Scott. The next 3 are all new wines
from 1 of my go to favorite producers, Peirano Estate.
“The Other White” is a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon
Blanc, and Viognier. Next up are 2 new reds for Peirano,
Malbec and Petite Sirah. Last but not least is another
favorite Stephen Vincent Crimson.
For those regulars of our website I’m sure you’re
familiar with our “weekly mystery discount”. I usually
make you say something stupid or embarrassing to the
cashier to get a 10 to 20 % discount on whatever items
we’re featuring that week. From time to time I will put
them in the newsletter just to let you know we’re still
doing them and so more of you can take advantage of them
and embarrass yourself and our cashiers a bit more
often. So this week to celebrate the Redsox latest world
series run we will take 20 % off Sauvignyooooouuuuuk
Blanc, Captai n’s Cabernet, or Vintage Papi. Just be
wearing some form of Redsox gear or mention the fact
that the Sox are in the hunt in October and the Yankees
are not!!! To receive this week’s mystery discount.
These wines make great Christmas gifts and we sold a ton
around the Holidays last year so be sure to grab a few
bottles while they are still around.
So brace yourself for a little Nor’easter and Patriots
bye week and try to have a good weekend.
