Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter.  Well considering the Pats weren’t in it, and the commercials were mediocre at best, that sure was 1 entertaining Super Bowl.  Now let’s hope for a full recovery by Brady next year, so we can snag 1 more trophy before this decade ends. 

Don’t forget we have a special wine tasting with John from Trio Wines and his sister Regina this Friday night from 4 to 7 PM.  In addition to John’s regular wine tasting, Regina will be doing Tarot Card readings, free of charge from 5 to 7 PM.  John will have 3 new value wines from Washington Hills to start you with.  He will taste you on the Gewurztraminer, Merlot, and Late Harvest Riesling that make up 3 of the 6 new wines from Washington State.  These all mix at 2 for $16 and are great value wines.  Next up is Valdifalco Morellino Di Scannsano.  This is a delicious organic Italian blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet, and Syrah and comes with a funky glass cork. We will end with Shingleback Grenache and Shingleback Black Bubbles.  This was a big hit at the last tasting, and is a perfect wine for Valentine’s Day.  So be sure to stop by for this unique tasting… see what lies ahead for you in 2009… and sample some great wines.

We don’t have any beer tastings lined up for the next couple of weeks.  But as the new “Spring” brews arrive we will line some up for Thursday nights and Saturdays soon.  Be sure to check out the new look website (corksfinewine.com) for details on all upcoming events, interesting articles, and other good stuff going on here at Cork’s.  Hope to see you all at Fridays tasting, and have a great weekend.
