Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter.
We
have a lot of stuff going on here at Cork’s this week.
We have not
1 but 2 beer tastings this week and a wine
tasting for Friday night as well. We also have the
return of Big Papi to the Sox just in time to slap down
the resurgent Yankees. The Pats training camp starts
today
as they look to repeat as Super Bowl
Champions…wait…ummm…they didn’t win 19 straight last
year?...sorry my bad I’ve blocked most of that out…but
we’ll get them this year.
Tonight’s (Thursday) beer tasting is a chance to meet
Kenny Chesney look-alike Vinny as he samples you on
Corona Extra, Light, Pacifico Clara, and Negra Modello.
It is from 4:30 to 7:30 and features Corona who sponsors
the Kenny and the Country Fest which is Saturday at
Gillette.
Our Saturday bonus tasting is with our new
friend Yanni from Opa-Opa. He will be here from 11-3 to
taste you on Opa-Opa Light, IPA, and Red Rock Ale. This
is the perfect beer for the Country Fest crowd as it
features a lasso wielding cowboy on the package. Oh
yea, and they are local...and make really good beers as
well...giddy up!!
Continuing our streak of rookie wine presenters we have
Jay from Signature Imports based right here out of
Mansfield here Friday night from 4 to 7 to taste you on
wines from the Iberian Peninsula.
He will start with
Casa de Vila Verde Vinho Verde a delicious light
Portuguese wine. Next up in my Rose crusade is Darien
Rosado from Rioja. This is 100 % Tempranillo and a
great summer wine. Darien Crianza is next and makes a
perfect barbecue wine. We go back to Portugal for
Vinzelo a blended red wine of 4 native varietals. Last
but not least Casa de Santar Vinho Tinto from the Dao
region is a delicious way to finish the night.
Don’t
forget our 2nd Annual Customer Appreciation
Day is right around the corner on Saturday, August 9th
from noon to 3. And the Kick-Off Beer tasting is
Saturday, September 13th so be sure to mark
your calendars and check the website (corksfinewine.com)
for details and updates. As I write this we are getting
our daily monsoon so let’s hope the weather clears for
the weekend.
