Come join us for our St. Patty's Day Tasting!

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Well since nobody has mentioned or taken part in the mystery discount potion of the website, we are going to put that to bed for awhile and try something new. Such a shame too, as that was usually my best comedic material since I’ve usually “tasted” a few wines by the time I wrote that stuff. Anyway, with the economy in a slump we will be offering 3 specials on a weekly basis. 1 beer…1 wine...and 1item from the liquor department. These specials will run from Wednesday to Wednesday each week. You won’t have to say anything crazy, or sing to the cashier (unless you really want to because we do still like that). They will just ring up at the discounted price.

To kick off the new weekly specials I figured we’d go with a St. Patrick’s Day theme. We gotta have Guinness for our St. Patty’s beer item…right?...We have a limited supply of Guinness Gift Sets. They have 2 (14.9 OZ) cans of delicious beer and 2 Guinness pint glasses for $11.89. On the wine side we’re going with Bunratty Meade in a 750 ml bottle, on sale for $15.99. This is an Irish white wine with added honey and herbs, and is quite yummy. For the liquor item we have Boru Irish Vodka 1.75 L, reg price $25.99 on sale for $21.99. We won’t always have a theme behind these specials, but will have 1 from each category every week, so be sure to check the newsletter or the website (corksfinewine.com) each week to check them out.

Keeping with the Irish theme, Josh will have a St. Patty’s day beer tasting this Thursday (March 12th) from 4:30 to 7:30 PM. He will be donning a skirt/kilt and pouring a bunch of interesting Irish brews for you to sample. He will start with Magner’s Irish Cider. Next are 2 new beers from McSorley’s, Pale Ale and Black Lager. Quinn’s Amber Ale from Wachusett will be next. He will end with Rogue Kells Lager in a 22 OZ bottle. This is always 1 of the better Thursday night beer tastings we do each year, so be sure to check it out.

In addition to the Irish brews Josh will be tasting, we have a huge Guinness display in the front of the store. We also have a complete selection of “everything Irish” on display by the main checkout area for your perusal. So stop by and visit “County Cork” for all your St. Patty’s needs.

We don’t have a wine tasting scheduled for this Friday night, but we have 3 biggies in a row lined up after that. Tommy Bolini will be here next week featuring his new Monogamy/Promis-Q-ous wines. The next week will be our 2nd “Customer Tasting” with Cara and Cindy. And the week after that will be our 5th Annual Grand Spring Wine tasting!
