Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. How about
those Celtics off to a blistering 3-1 pre-season
start! I’m not sure how the Red
Sox, Patriots, and Bruins are doing…I think they
were all off last week! Anyway…there’s lots of
stuff going on here at Cork’s as you may need a
drink to wash away the last week's sporting news.
Let’s start with a Guinness beer tasting on
Thursday…and a let’s find a few new wines to taste,
wine tasting on Friday…and let’s not forget our
biggest wine tasting event of the year, is only a
few weeks away. Thursday October 29th
from 5 to 7:30 is our 5th Annual Grand
fall Wine Tasting. We are just now getting the
lineup together, but it should be close to 90 wines
and 15 tables!! Be sure to check the website (corksfinewine.com)
for details and updates.
Tomorrow night (Thursday) at the special time of
5:30 to 7:30 PM we will be tasting the yummy brews
from Guinness. We will have the Guinness Draft,
Stout, 250 Anniversary Stout, Harp, and Smithwick’s
for you to sample. They will have tons of Guinness
pint glasses to give away, and don’t forget to take
your 10 % discount on any Guinness product the night
of the tasting as well.
Hmmm…what to pick for Friday night's wine tasting.
I will try not to duplicate things that we will be
doing at our big fall show…but I haven’t got the
lineup fully set yet…screw it…let me just wander the
aisles and see what jumps at me. OK…nothing jumped
off the shelf… but I promise you I’ll find 3 or 4
gems to pour Friday night between 4 and 7 PM.
What
did jump out at me was an appearance by 1 of my
favorite wine guys/critics Gary “Vee” Vaynerchuck on
the Today Show. He has a great approach to wine,
and I strongly recommend his wine library TV
segments and any of his books.
Check this segment out
to see what a crazy dude he is……I met him at the
wine expo in Boston and have been a big fan of his
ever since.
I
hope you all have a great weekend and we will see
you soon.
