Getting ready for St. Patty's Day!


Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Just when you thought winter was over we get another foot of snow. Let’s hope the next few days in the mid 50’s takes care of that and we can get ready for baseball and golf weather. We do have a bunch of beer and wine tastings lined up for March and April, so be sure to check out the website (corksfinewine.com) to see what we have scheduled for St. Patty’s Day and the Spring.

We have Erin from J. Polep Wines here for her 1st Friday (4 to 7) night tasting this week. She has some wines sure to please every palate and budget for you to sample. She’ll start with a real nice New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc value priced at 2 for $16. Next are 2 German wines from Peter Brum. Bacchus White Wine and Vino Noire, which is a sweet red wine, are nice alternatives to the white zins and sweet rieslings out there. We end the tasting in Chile for Ventisquero Reserva Pinot Noir and Valdivieso Cabernet Franc. These 2 are the types of wines that drink like $25 to $40 bottles, and are priced in the mid-teens. As with all our Friday night wine tastings you also get 10% off anything you try that night.

Be sure to check out our huge St. Patrick’s Day displays in the front of the store. From Guinness, to Jameson, and everything Irish in between you can find it here at Cork’s. After all, Megan’s roots are from County Cork. This will be our biggest St. Patty’s Day yet, as we now have liquor as well as every Irish beer you can possible think of. Josh will be sampling a bunch of Irish Beers next Thursday March 12th from 4:30 to 7:30. Hey Bill, do you think Josh can borrow your kilt and bagpipes? I’m thinking he has the legs to pull it off.

We do have our 2nd “Customer Wine Tasting” scheduled, as Cara and Cindy will be here tasting you on their favorites on Friday, March 27th. Anybody else interested let me know, and we can schedule 1 a month going forward. Lastly, be sure to save Thursday, April 2nd on your calendars for our 5th Annual Grand Wine Tasting. We are just in the beginning stages of making the lineup, and we’ll keep you posted in future newsletters with details as the event draws closer. I hope you all have a great weekend.
