Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter 1 day early. I’ll
be taking a little vacation time so I thought I would
get the newsletter out before I go. There won’t be any
tastings until next Saturday, August 9th when
we have our
2nd
Annual Customer Appreciation Day. I’ve got most of the
lineup set for the event as we try to get you a
smorgasbord of wine, beer, and yes even liquor to go
with those steaks and lobsters…ummm OK burgers and
dogs.
We
have Tom (he ain’t heavy he’s my brother) from Carolina
donning his Speedo once again and sampling you on a new
line of wines called Festival 34. He will also have UV
Blue Raspberry and Pink Lemonade Vodka. Jaime from MS
Walker will be tasting you on the Ho
gue
wines from Washington State and Four Vines Zinfandel and
Naked Chardonnay. He says he wants to go naked behind
the back tasting area since Tom was in a Speedo but we
had to put the kibosh on that idea. And for the guys we
have a supermodel in a bikini who will be pouring the
new wines from Pannotia Vineyards.
On the
beer side we have Vinny and the Bud girls sampling
Redhook, Shock Top Wheat Beer, and Wild Blue Lager.
They will also have the ready to drink Margaritaville
flavors and Margaritaville Tequilla. Kristen from L.
Knife will have the crazy microbrew cans from Oscar Bl
ues
featuring the the new Gordon Beer and Ten Fidy. We also
have the 4 flavors of Leinenkugel representing which are
great for the summer. The BBQ wouldn’t be complete
without inviting our neighbors from Narragansett Brewing
Co. to round out the beer portion of the event.
In
addition to the UV and Margaritaville we will also have
the outstanding flavored vodkas from Triple 8 out of
Nantucket. You have to try the vanilla bean it is the
best vodka I’ve ever tasted. They also have a Hurricane
Rum and Gayle Force Gin to close things out.
We’re
still working on raffle items but so far we have a Coors
Light Grill, a Coors do
uble
beach chair with a cooler in the middle, a Bud Light
lounge chair, Sam Adams Patio Umbrella and lots more.
We will have tons of t-shirts…hats...pint glasses…key
chains and other crap to give away as well. Be sure to
check the website (corksfinewine.com) for more info as
we get more info on the event. Don’t forget that Don is
a wizard on the grill and is always looking for special
orders to challenge his grilling skills. This was a
blast last year and gives us a chance to thank you for
being loyal Cork’s customers.
