Cork's Fine Wine Weekly Newsletter - September 24, 2009
Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Quite a bit going
on here at Cork’s as we taste new wines for the big fall
show and holiday season. We also have tons of autumn
beers still arriving and we’re replenishing all your
favorite fall beers. Over the next couple of weeks we
may tend to run out of the more popular ones, so be sure
to stop in grab your favorites before they are all gone.
Speaking of new beers, Josh is going to be sampling some
brand new canned microbrews that we just got in from
British Columbia, Canada. Tonight’s tasting (Thursday)
is from 4:30 to 7:30 and will feature Red Racer Lager,
Pale Ale, and IPA. These beers are brand new to the
states and this market, and believe it or not are
distributed from 1 of our small wine wholesalers. The
packaging is very eye catching with a hot redhead riding
a red bike, and the beers are extremely good. So we’re
dressing Josh up in a red wig and throwing him on a bike
for this tasting so you have to come down to see that!
If that wasn’t enough, we have Woodstock Autumn Ale Brew
to finish this tasting. This New Hampshire Ale has is
flavored with apple and cinnamon, and tastes just like
Gramma’s apple pie. As always we will take 10% off any
of the beers you taste that night.
We
have the return of the Tommy Bolini show for this Friday
night’s wine tasting from 4 to 7 PM. He has an
excellent lineup for you to sample starting with Can
Feixes from Spain. This is a blended white wine with
great minerality that pairs great with most seafood.
From there we go to Australia for Penfold’s Thomas
Hyland Riesling. Cinnamon, apple and citrus flavors
make this an excellent fall wine. Off to California for
Parker Station Pinot Noir. I know nothing about this
wine except Tommy says it’s good and the back label says
“The best Pinot Noir you can afford to drink
daily”….hmmm…we shall see. The last wine is C.M.S. from
Hedges out of the Columbia Valley in Washington State.
I had this wine about 5 years ago when I toured the
winery, and it’s a delicious blend of
Cabernet/Merlot/Syrah. Tommy will end the show with a
yummy Macadamia Nut Liqueur from Trader Vic’s. This
comes in a really cool package and is a perfect fall
liqueur that you simply must try.
I
hope everybody enjoys the 1st official fall
weekend and we’ll see you soon.
