 Welcome
to Cork’s New Years newsletter. I hope everybody had a
great Christmas holiday. As always it was crazy here at
Cork’s, and we appreciate all of you coming in for your
holiday needs. So, as we approach the end of this
year…and decade…I’m still losing sleep as to what we’re
calling this decade. The ones that seem to be gaining
steam as are “the 2000’s”…and the “Oh’s”…I was kinda
hoping for the “Aughts” or “Naughts” and even better the
“Naughties”…whatever we decide on it sure doesn’t flow
like the 70’s…80’s…and the 90’s. And it sure flew by
pretty quick…seems like just a few years ago we were
worried about the Millennium and all the computers
crashing.
OK…enough rambling and reminiscing. Let’s talk about
what’s going on here at Cork’s. Hmmmm…not a whole heck
of a lot going on. We don’t have any beer or wine
tastings this week beca use
of the New Years holiday, though I’m sure we’ll crack a
bottle or 2 of Champagne and Sparking wine for you to
sample at some point. We do have all your favorite
Champagnes, Cavas, Prosecco, and Sparkling Wines on a
big table in the front of the store as you come in. We
also have a couple of new and interesting sparklers for
you to check out this year. The “Winter Classic”
Sparkling Wine is in honor of the Bruins vs. Flyers game
on New Year’s Day at Fenway Park. The commemorative
bottle has a “Green Monster” label and is in very
limited supply, so hurry in if you want this one. Bitch
Bubbly is 100% Australian Grenache and like the Bitch
wine (which is finally back in stock as well), has that
bright pink “Bitch” on the label. It has a beer bottle
cap and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
We
are look ing
to start up our “Customer” wine tastings in January and
February, so anybody who was waiting to get behind the
bar and pour their favorite wines, give me a shout and
we will set up the tasting. Our next beer tasting will
be Thursday January 14, 2010 with our friends from
Wachusett Brewing. And don’t forget to save the date on
our biggest beer tasting of the year, Superbrew V which
is Saturday, January 30th from 2:30 to 5 PM.
I will be making the lineup in the next few weeks and
let’s hope the Pats make a run at the Super Bowl so it
will be that much more fun.
We
will be open from 9 am to 8 pmon New Years Eve for all
your last minute Bubbly and party needs. We will also
be open Friday, New Years Day from 12 to 6 PM for those
of you who need to chase the hair of the dog or load up
for the “Winter Classic”. We will be going to our
winter hours starting next week. Monday through
Saturday 10 AM to 9 PM…and Sunday Noon to 5 PM. I hope
everyone drinks responsibly, and from all of us here at
Cork’s… Happy New Year!!
