Cork's Fine Wine Weekly Newsletter - July 16, 2009
Welcome to Cork's weekly newsletter. Finally…a nice
stretch of summer weather to enjoy. We do have 1
tasting lined up this week to get you ready for our
3rd Annual Customer Appreciation day that
is a little over a week away. We’ve been working on
our lineups and there will be lots of fun stuff.
Be sure to check out the website
(corksfinewine.com) for a listing of what we be
tasting and other news on the big event. The concert
season swings back into action big time, with Billy
Joel & Elton John at Gillette and Nas, Damien,
Marley, and the Roots at Tweeter…hmmmm…tough
choice…which one are you going too?
We have another rookie making his Friday night debut
at Cork’s from 4 to 7 PM this week. Joe from Ruby
Wines will be here with 6 new and interesting wines
for you to sample. He will start with a yummy
sparkling wine from France called Marquis de la Tour
Brut. This is a delicious sparkler, and because
it’s from the Loire Valley and not Champagne is a
steal at $10.99. Next up are 2 interesting wines
with crazy names and labels from Charles Smith out
of Washington State. Kung Fu Girl Riesling and The
Velvet Devil Merlot. Off to Argentina for Susana
Balbo’s Crios Torrontes. Hands down, this is the
best Torrontes I have ever had and makes a great
alternative summer wine. Next up is Ben Marco
Malbec…do I sense a trend here with all these
Malbecs week after week?...only this one has a twist
with 10 % Bonarda that makes this wine amazing.
Last but not least is Hahn Estates Meritage. This
is a true Bordeaux blend with all 5 of the Bordeaux
varietals, unlike most of the wines from the
Bordeaux region that tend to be just Cab and
Merlot. This is truly an exceptional lineup so
please stop by and welcome Joe to the Cork’s Friday
night lineup.
Well the Sox are in 1st at the
break…unfortunately the Militia lost on a last
second kickoff return, in what was one of the best
live sporting events I’ve ever been to. I guess
we’ll have to look to the Pats to take us to the
Super Bowl this year. There won’t be any beer or
wine tastings next week as we prepare for the big
day on Saturday. The event is from 1 to 4 and is
always a blast, so be sure to save a couple hours to
stop by.
