Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. This will probably
be our last newsletter before Thanksgiving. Since we’ll
be closed next Thursday and Wednesday is a crazy busy
day, I will not have a chance to type 1 out most
likely. You can always check the website for current
news at Corksfinewine.com. Or you can get up to the
minute info and updates at Facebook.com or twitter.com.
I think we still have myspace and Dig or Doug ….or
whatever that is but who has time for all that tweeting…twerping…digging
and all that nonsense.
So
let’s highlight a few things and talk about the upcoming
tastings to get you ready for your Turkey Day. We will
be open a few extra hours on Wednesday (Thanksgiving
Eve). We will open at 9 AM and close at 10 PM for your
shopping convenience. We will be closed on Thursday
Thanksgiving Day, and we will close 1 hour early at 9 PM
on the Friday after turkey day. We have a bunch of gift
baskets made up from $9.99 nip mugs… to $40 (3-bottle)
wine gift baskets. We will be making more and have
pictures of them on the website soon.
Let’s talk about tastings we have going on in the next
couple weeks. We will have our friend Miguel here to
sample you on the crazy brews from Flying Dog this
Thursday from 4:30 to 7:30…Speaking of dogs a quick
apology to the 1 brave customer that brought a dog into
Ted’s house for the Mutt Lynch tasting...sorry for Ted’s
behavior and be sure to send me the vet bill!...anyway
back to Flying Dogs and beer. He will have Doggie Style
Pale Ale…Double Dog Double Pale Ale…Old Scratch Amber
Lager…In Heat Wheat Hefeweizen…and Snake Dog IPA. He
might have a surprise Porter in the mix as well if they
come in on time. So DON’T bring your pooch…but DO bring
a friend and check out these yummy beers out of
Colorado.
Friday night we have Mark from Boston Wine here to taste
you on his fine wines from 4 to 7 PM. He will start
with a delicious sparkling wine from of all places New
Mexico called Gruet Brut. Next up are Cartlidge & Brown
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, both excellent choices for
Turkey Day. We go to Spain next for Monte Oton Garnacha.
This great value wine (2 for $14) is 1 that I brought in
during the “Summer of Sangria” as a cheap Spanish wine
for Sangria recipes. Off to Italy for Vitiano Falesco
which is a Cabenet/Melot/Sangiovese blend. He will end
with the delicious Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre. This
is a blend of Corvina and Rondinella and is a highly
rated/award winning wine.
We
have a bonus tasting on Wednesday the day before
Thanksgiving from 3 to 6 PM. Our Friend Mark will be
here with his very own Pinot Noir called….are you ready
for this… “PINOT”. It is a Central Coast Pinot Noir and
is the perfect red wine for the bird. He will also be
pouring the Urban Riesling which also pairs perfectly
for Turkey Day. At some point we will be getting our
Beaujolais Nouveau in and I’m sure we’ll crack open a
bottle of that too. I hope everybody has a great
Thanksgiving Holiday and we’ll see you all soon.
