Welcome to Cork's Fine Wine and Liquors,LLC

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. 

 

We are finally done with phase 1 of our renovations to make room for the distilled spirits.  We have carved out the first 20 feet on the right hand wall for liquor.  We will expand this and double the size when we move the jug wines to the back of the store in phase 2 of the move.  We have a very good selection of liquor including cordials and ready to drink products which you can find at the end of the aisle on the left.  In order to make room we have moved the local wines, organic wines, and alcohol free wines to the front of the other wall across the store.  Small 187 ml 4-packs and the fruity wines are now at the very end of the far wall as well.  Thank you all again for your patience during this move.

 

OK, now back to the fun stuff.  The Sox are on their way to Japan as I write this and the Celtics look like they have a real chance to raise banner # 17 this year.  Finally the 1^st day of Spring is here and March Madness is about to kick off at noon.  For those who want to partake in more than the office bracket pool we have an awesome Sam Adams basketball hoop in the back of the store.  The record is 118 held by Tom “he ain’t heavy he’s my brother” but I’m hoping somebody can break it just to shut him up and let him get to work.

 

We will have both a beer tasting tonight (Thursday from 4:30 to 7:30) and a wine tasting Friday from 4 to7 PM.  Tonight’s beer tasting is with Boulder Brewing Co. out of Colorado. We have brought in a bunch of new brews from Boulder and this should be an excellent tasting.  The lineup includes Sundance Amber Ale, Passtime Pale Ale, Single Track Copper Ale, Mojo IPA, Mojo Risin Double IPA, Hazed & Infused, and Planet Porter.  We also brought in some Brewers Dozen 12 packs as well.  I haven’t tried most of these beers myself but every beer I’ve had from them so far has been outstanding.

 

We have our friend John from Trio Wines here for our Easter wine tasting on Good Friday night.  He will start with Bloom Pinot Gris a new addition to the Bloom line of German wines.  Next will be Pine & Post Chardonnay from Washington State.  From there we go to Spain for Cubero Vinas Viejas Old Vine Garnacha.  The last 2 are from Italy and are both excellent wines and really cool packaging.  Dardano Zara is blend of Dolcetto and Barbera that is just yummy and comes in a real funky bottle.  Next is an organic and bio-dynamic Italian blend called Valdifalco Morrelino di Scansano.  Not only is this an excellent wine it comes with a very unique glass closure instead of a cork.

 

Don’t forget to get up extra early for the Sox opener Tuesday AM in Japan, gametime is 6 AM !!  This years Redsox charity wines will be Sauvignyoouuk Blanc, Captain’s Cabernet, and Vintage Papi.  They should be in by late April and we will have plenty this year.  You can check out the website (corksfinewine.com) for more info and when we will have our big Redsox wine tasting.

 

So I hope you all have a chance to stop by and check out our new liquor section, shoot a few hoops, enjoy some beer and wine tastings and stock up for the Easter holiday.  We will be closed Easter Sunday so we can enjoy the holiday with our families. I wish you all a Happy Easter.
