Hey…I live up by Federal Hill in Providence and it’s bigger than St. Patrick’s Day up there. I hope you all had a Guinness or 2 and enjoyed your St. Patty’s Day. It’s always a fun time for us here at Cork’s but now we shift to March Madness. We have our Sam Adams hoop set up in the back of the store as always. Sorry Tommy Bolini and Wallace - it’s not the carnival style hoop like last year. Speaking of Sam, can you believe their Summer Ale is out already!! It’s not even Spring yet…oh well…but if you’re a Sam fan like me you can actually get Winter, Spring, and Summer beers all in 1 trip!...if only there was Oktoberfest still around.
Speaking of Spring, our pal Vinnie will be here to sample you on some Spring beers tonight (Thursday) from 4:30 to 7:30. I know we’ve been trying to get Torpedo (the new edition to the Sierra Nevada lineup) in for over a month now; hopefully it will come today in time for the tasting. We’ve had less than stellar turnouts for the beer tastings the last few times so please, if you can, try to come out and support them. We’re going to try to book every Thursday from now on so we will do our part to have some consistency. As always you get a 10 % discount on anything you taste that night, so this is a great time to try some new and interesting beers and save a little cash.
The Tommy Bolini show makes a return engagement here at Cork’s on Friday night from 4 to 7 PM. He has a new an interesting lineup to sample you on. 1st up are 2 wines called Pro-Mis-Q-ous. The white is a blend of Chardonnay/Chenin Blanc/Gewürztraminer, while the red is a mix of Zinfandel/Merlot/Cabernet/Petite Sirah. If you’ve ever had the Menage a Trois wines they are similar in style, but kicked up a notch in style and quality. For those not into Menage a Trois or Pro-Mis-Q-ous we have a single varietal Cabernet called Monogomy. Next we have a Lodi Zinfandel called Deep Purple. It has a retro-70’s label and rekindles memories of “Smoke on the Water”. He will finish this outstanding tasting with a 1999 Warre’s Late Bottle Vintage Porto.
I know I said the new “Weekly Specials” wouldn’t have a theme but I can’t pass up the Italian/St. Joes theme. So this week’s beer special will be Peroni Nasto Azzurrro 6-pks for $7.69. Wine will be Santa Christina Pinot Grigio or Chianti Superior reg. $15.99 for $12.99. And Disaronno Amaretto will be the liquor item for $25.99. So grab a zeppola or 2 and enjoy your favorite Italian beverage with it.
Just a quick reminder that Cara & Cindy will be here next week for our 2nd “customer tasting”. And 2 weeks away we have our 5th Annual Grand Spring Wine Tasting on Thursday, April 2nd from 4:30 to 7 PM. We will have updates posted on our website (corksfinewine.com) as these events draws nearer. OK…gotta finish up as we’re off to the Bruins game….woohoo!!...thanks Kristen and Sam Adams.
