We just celebrated our third birthday!

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. We have just celebrated our 3rd birthday here at Cork’s and are less than a month away from our 4th Annual Grand Spring Wine Tasting. For those new to the store and our tastings this is 1 of 2 big wine events we have each year. There will be around 20 different vendors and close to 100 wines, so be sure to save Friday night May 16th from 4 to 7 PM on your calendar.

Due to popular demand Mr. Wallace will do a beer tasting tonight (Thursday) from 4:30 to 7:30 PM. He will feature White Sail Belgian Style White Ale, Copper Ale, and Stovepipe Porter from Otter Creek. He will also taste you on the Organic beers from Wolaver’s. Pale Ale, IPA, and Brown Ale make up this Organic Sampler 12-pk. We have a bunch of 12 packs of each and will blow them out at just about cost. The Otter Creek will be $11.99 for a 12-pk. (where can you find a good microbrew at a buck a bottle now-a-days?). The Wolaver’s 12-pk will be $12.99 while they last.

I’d like to thank all those who attended last Friday nights wine tasting. I don’t know if it was the Tommy Bellini show, or the wines he had but it was the busiest regular Friday night tasting since I’ve been here at Cork’s. I actually wasn’t planning on a tasting for this Friday night but I don’t want to lose momentum so I’ll find something for us to taste if you want to stop by.

We have another big sports week locally as the Bruins try to stave off elimination and the Celtics get ready for the playoffs. The Sox and Yanks continue their marathon 4 hour games, and we have the Boston Marathon on Monday as well. I’m not sure any of you used the free tickets we handed out but the Boston Militia won their season opener against last years champion in what I hear was a very entertaining game. They have a bye this week and a couple of road games after that but we will have ticket deals for their next home game. You can check out pics of their game and all kinds of interesting stuff on our website at corksfinewine.com.
