Cork's Fine Wine Weekly Newsletter - September 30, 2009
Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I hope everybody
is enjoying the great fall weather with your favorite
Autumn brew, wine, or cocktail. Speaking of autumn we
will once again be participating in the Tri-Town Camber
of Commerce Oktoberfest. We will be pouring Sam Adams
and Spaten Oktoberfest, Smuttynose Pumpkin, and
Woodstock Inn Autumn Ale Brew at the event. It is
Tuesday October 6th from 5 to 7 PM in Foxboro
at The Shops of Chestnut Green. There will be 25
restaurants sampling their yummy dishes. Here are just
a few: Chipotle…Davio’s…Mai Pearl…Pikes Peak…Friendly’s…CBS
Scene…Piccadilly Pub and many more. Tickets are only 12
bucks in advance and $15 at the door with all the
proceeds going to the local food banks. Check out the
website for a complete listing of the restaurants and
more details of the event on our website at
corksfinewine.com.
As
far as tastings here at Cork’s, we have our new Sam
Adams rep to sample you on the brews you can find in
their new Harvest Collection 12 packs. Boston Lager,
Octoberfest, Irish Red, Cherry Wheat, Brown Ale, and
Dunkelweizen make up this delicious Variety pack. If
that weren’t enough, he will also have the newest Sam 6
PK style called Coastal Wheat as well. I haven’t met
the new Sam kid yet… but I heard him, and he sounds like
a pesky guy reading from a script right out of school.
So be sure to break him in…ask him questions…and get him
to loosen up. Or just wear earplugs…guzzle the
fermented delights he presents you...nod your
head...grab a 12 pk…get your 10 % discount and move on!
You have officially been warned ;-}
Speaking of pesky, did you see where our favorite
ambassador of the Redsox Johny Pesky turned 90? Doesn’t
look a day over 88 if you ask me. A word of advice -
if you ever run into Johny, don’t ever call him a mascot
or he will verbally berate you and kick you in the
shins…right sis? Now for somebody you would never call
pesky (hmmmm…or would you?), we have John from Trio
Wines here for Friday night’s wine tasting from 4 to 7
PM. He has some interesting wines to sample you on,
including the brand new Ed Hardey wines. Personally, I
had never heard of Ed but apparently he is a famous
tattoo artist that is now marketing clothes, booze, and
even dog food (oops...wrong tasting that’s our dog and
wine tasting we have coming up soon...sorry Ted).
He
will start with a really nice value Pinot Grigio Called
Dilupo. It comes in a 750 and a 1.5 L that in the Euro
inflated PG mag market you can still get for $12.99.
Bianchi Pinot Noir is a delicious Pinot from the Santa
Maria Valley, and if you can keep your hands off it till
then, would make a great Thanksgiving wine. Doolittle
Farms Zinfandel is a big jammy Zin from the Dry Creek
Valley and is a steal at $19.99. As far as the Ed
Hardey wines go, we have Chardonnay, Cabernet and just
in time for summer….Sangria!!...ok fine...but Sangria is
still hot, and it’s the cheapest of the bunch at 2 for
$14. The labels are pretty cool, and I think we may try
to get a burly biker dude here to ink up your arms as
you enjoy the wines. OK…maybe we’ll just get some
temporary tattoos and pretend.
Ah
yes…it’s back...all 4 of the local sports teams in
action!! We have the Sox limping into the playoffs…The
Pats going for 2 straight against the tough Raven
“D”…the Bruins about to open their quest for the
Cup...and even the Celts with a healthy KG starting camp
down in Newport RI !!....hmmm… who do you think has the
best chance to bring a title back to Beantown?
