Memorial Day weekend news...

Thank you all for attending our 4th Annual Grand Spring Wine Tasting. I hope you all had fun…got to try some good wines…learned a little something and were able to stock up a bit. We always enjoy these big events and the 2nd Annual Customer Appreciation Day is the next one. It will be on Saturday July 26th from noon to 3. We will have lobster…steaks…ribs…chicken…OK not really… but we will have cheeseburgers…hotdogs…snacks and other goodies...along with a combination beer/wine/liquor tasting all in 1 event! There will be games and contests and we will bring back our famous raffle. We will also have tons of hats, t-shirts, key chains, and other crap for you to take home. This was a blast last year and gives us a chance to thank you for being loyal Cork’s Customers.

We will have 2 beer tastings this holiday weekend but we’ll pass on a wine tasting this Friday night as I think we tasted all the new wines we have in the store. Tonight’s beer tasting (Thursday) is from 4:30 to 7:30 and will feature the new flavors of Michelob Ultra,Lime Cactus, Tuscan Orange Grapefruit, and Pomegranate Raspberry make up this flavorful low-carb trio. These are nice alternatives to the malternative beverages out there and will help get us into those summer swimsuits. But I beg you guys…please no speedos!

Saturday’s bonus beer tasting features 2 new ventures into the microbrew waters from Anheuser Busch. Shock Top Belgian White Beer and Wild Blueberry Lager will be sampled on Saturday from 2 to 4 PM. I’ve yet to try these myself but have heard good things about them. We will have a 10 % discount on all the new beers we try so be sure to stop by and check them out.

Well it looks like it’s going to be a great holiday weekend weather-wise. The Sox are on a roll complete with the incredible John Lester no-hitter. The Celtics look to go up 2-0 on the Pistons in their pursuit of banner # 17, even the Militia won on the road again to improve to 3-2 and enjoy a bye week. Speaking of the Sox I think the new wines from Longball Vineyards will be in next week and we will schedule a huge Redsox tasting in the very near future.

We will be closed on Monday for Memorial day so be sure to pop in this weekend to load up on your wine, beer, and now full liquor needs for the long holiday weekend. I hope you all have a great weekend.
