Wow this is the latest I’ve started a newsletter in
awhile but it’s been crazy here at Cork’s. The
Parrotheads were already congregating in the parking lot
this AM for tonight’s Jimmy Buffet concert and my not so
subtle pleas to lure Wallace back from the bushes have
been fruitless so far, so I’ve been schlepping cases all
morning. Anyways this will be brief but I wanted to get
1 out because we have 2 tastings this week to talk
about.
We welcome back Sarah from Merchant du Vin for tonight’s
(Thursday) beer tasting. She is one of the more
knowledgeable beer reps out there and always has
interesting beers for you to sample. Since October is
national organic month (she told me I had no clue) we
are going to do some organic beers tonight from 4:30 to
7:30. She will start you with Sam Smith Organic Ale and
the new Sam Smith Organic Cider. Next is Pinkus Organic
Pils and she will finish up with Ayinger Oktoberfest. So
venture into the shark infested waters to try these
excellent beers and receive 10% off any that you taste
tonight.
John from Trio wines will be making a return appearance
on Friday night from 4 to 7 PM to try you on some of his
newer selections that we’ve brought in to Cork’s. He
will start with an off dry Riesling from Washington
State called Five H. Next is Bianchi Chardonnay which is
a big rich buttery Chard and if you like that style,
this is a must try. Shingleback Grenache is a highly
rated, (91 points) delicious wine from Australia. Trace
Merlot is next and is a big Merlot in a funky package.
We will end with Bianchi Cabernet; this wine is mix of
berry and coffee flavors and drinks like a $30 Cab for
10 bucks less than that.
Well the Pats kickoff their season this week but due to
the Buffet concert on Saturday, our 4th Annual Kick-off
Beer tasting will be next Sat. September 13th from 2:30
to 5 PM. I’m still putting the lineup together but we
will be definitely be toning it down a bit from last
years Superbrew event. I will be updating the website
(corksfinewine.com) with details and will rant more
about it in next week’s newsletter. I hope you all have
a great weekend.
