Well
we’ve finally picked a date for our 4th Annual Grand Spring
Wine Tasting. It will be Friday night May 16th from 4 to 7
PM.
After much debate an d
quite a few e-mails asking for different days of the week,
Friday seems to work best for most of you. We are pushing
the start time up 1 hour to make it easier for those getting
out of work to swing by before heading home for the weekend.
We are also going to scale it back just a bit. For those of
you at the Superbrew beer tasting you can attest to the fact
that it was just too crowded. You couldn’t even navigate the
aisles and get at the beers. No worries though, It will
 still
be fun and we’ll have the pizza and all that. Just a little
bit smaller so that you can talk to the supplier and not
have to elbow your way in and just stick your glass out. We
will be updating the website (corksfinewine.com) I’ll fill
you in via the newsletters and in our blog
(wwww.corksfinewine.blogspot.com) as the event
draws closer.
We won’t have any beer or wine tastings this week. I was a
little disappointed in the turnout at the Asian beer tasting
last Thursday night. We had only 10 people sample the beers
and sold 1 six-pk. I think we will cut the beer tastings
down to a
couple per month and I may do some on Saturday.
The Bitch is back!! No,not your mother-in-law or the Elton
John classic. It’s the delicious Grenache from South
Australia. It ’s
released just once a year in very
limited quantities. I know
some of you have been asking
for it (Jenn).We have only 3 cases and its first come first
served.
Another new interesting wine is Vintage Ink from Indelible
Wines. It is a deep, dark blend of Cabernet and Merlot and
is quite yummy. It’s also the un-official wine of the NBA
and all the tattooed stars in the league. Hey I’m as big a
fan as the next guy for some tasteful, discrete body art.
But have you seen the arms of some of these guys? I swear 1
kid in the NCAA tournament has the Declaration of
Independence on his arm. These 2 wines along with the
closeout "Goatfather" and Diva’s
Chardonnay are in a small eclectic display in the front of
the store as you walk in.
Good to see the Celtics win their 60th game ofthe year after
last year's debacle of a season. The Sox completed
their Japan journey at 3 and 1, and even looks like the
Bruins will squeak in
the playoffs. We also have FREE! tickets to the season
opener of the Boston Militia of the IWFL. We will be one of
the official sponsors of the team and the only place in the
area to get tickets for upcoming games. Be sure to check out
their website for team info and schedule (massmutinity.com).
I hope you all have a great weekend.
