Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I’d
like to thank all of you who attended our 5th
Annual Grand Fall Wine Tasting. Once again it amazes me
how many of you folks show up for these things. I think
the selection of wines was just right and we did
especially well with the 2 for’s and lower price point
wines. I hope you all enjoyed the Frazolas from our
friends at Pizza Time in Foxboro. I think it was a nice
change of pace from the regular tastings pizza that we
always have. I encourage you to stop by and visit Rene
and Saki at Pizza Time, which is on Main St. in Foxboro
in the Waxy O’Connor’s plaza. The next big tasting
won’t be till after the holidays, the week before the
Super Bowl. We’ll put Josh to work on the Super Brew V
lineup and see if he can top the last tasting.
Speaking of beer tastings, we have
another rookie making his debut tonight (Thursday) from
4:30 to 7:30 here at Cork’s. He’s so new we don’t even
know his name. But what we do know is he represents the
outstanding beers from out in western Mass called
Berkshire Brewing Co. He will be sampling you on their
entire lineup that we carry including Traditional
Ale...Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale...Gold Spike Ale...River
Ale...Lost Sailor IPA...Shabadoo Black & Tan...Drayman's
Porter...Coffeehouse Porter...Oktoberfest Lager and
Cabin Fever Ale...these beers are in the 22 oz large
format and 64 oz growlers only. Unlike that watered
down beer from the Rockies (you know… the one that's
like making love on a canoe) with the blue label...these
beers are brewed cold...shipped cold...and we only sell
them cold. So stop by and help support the local guys
and pick up some great beers at 10 % off tonight only.
We will take a week off from the wine
tastings on Friday night. But we have a full lineup
booked right though the end of the year for you. I know
I’m going to regret this, but my dog Ted will be here to
help “paw” the dog themed wines from Mutt Lynch next
week. We encourage you to bring your pooch… try these
great value wines…and help support the local animal
rescue organizations. We have more info on this tasting
on the website (corsfinewine.com) and will talk more
about it next week.
Just a few other things going on here at
Cork’s to wrap up.. We have a ton of Holiday Gift Sets
arriving daily here at Cork’s. We will take some
pictures of them and throw them on the website.
Hopefully by the weekend we will build a big table up
front with them as well. The good thing about these
gift sets is that they usually all come in decorative
boxes… and have free “stuff” attached to them… and they
are the same price as the regular package...no
up-charge! We will also be making some Holiday Gift
Baskets and displaying them in the front and on the
website as well.
How about those Celtics off to a 6-0
start…the Pat’s back home Sunday against the
Dolphins…and the Bruins struggling around the .500
mark…let’s see did I leave any sport out?...nope I think
I got them all…Have a great weekend.
