I hope everybody is enjoying the great fall weather with your favorite Autumn brew, wine, or cocktail. Speaking of Autumn we will once again be participating in the Tri-Town Chamber of Commerce Oktoberfest. We will be pouring Sam Adams and Spaten Oktoberfest, Smuttynose Pumpkin, and Woodstock Inn Autumn Ale Brew at the event. It is Tuesday October 6th from 5 to 7 PM in Foxboro at The Shops of Chestnut Green. There will be 25 restaurants sampling their yummy dishes…here are just a few…Chipotle…Davio’s…Mai Pearl…Pikes Peak…Friendly’s…CBS Scene…Piccadilly Pub and many more. Tickets are only 12 bucks in advance and $15 at the door with all the proceeds going to the local food banks. Check out the website for a complete listing of the restaurants and more details of the event on our website at corksfinewine.com.
As far as tastings here at Cork’s we have our new Sam Adams rep to sample you on the brews you can find in their new Harvest Collection 12 packs. Boston Lager, Octoberfest, Irish Red, Cherry Wheat, Brown Ale, and Dunkelweizen make up this delicious Variety pack. If that weren’t enough, he will also have the newest Sam 6 PK style called Coastal Wheat as well. I haven’t met the new Sam kid yet… but I heard him, and he sounds like a pesky guy reading from a script right out of school. So be sure to break him in…ask him questions…and get him to loosen up….Or just wear earplugs…guzzle the fermented delights he presents you...nod your head...grab a 12 pk…get your 10 % discount and move on! You have officially been warned ;-}
Speaking of pesky did you see where our favorite ambassador of the Redsox Johny Pesky turned 90? …doesn’t look a day over 88 if you asked me…A word of advice, If you ever run into Johny don’t ever call him a mascot or he will verbally berate you and kick you in the shins…right sis? Now for somebody you would never call pesky (hmmmm…or would you?) we have John from Trio Wines here for Friday nights wine tasting from 4 to 7 PM. He has some interesting wines to sample you on, including the brand new Ed Hardey wines. Personally I had never heard of Ed but apparently he is a famous tattoo artist that is now marketing clothes, booze, and even dog food (oops...wrong tasting that’s our dog and wine tasting we have coming up soon...sorry Ted).
He will start with a really nice, value Pinot Grigio Called Dilupo. It comes in a 750 and a 1.5 L that in the Euro inflated PG mag market you can still get for $12.99. Bianchi Pinot Noir is a delicious Pinot from the Santa Maria Valley, and if you can keep your hands off it till then, would make a great Thanksgiving wine. Doolittle Farms Zinfandel is a big jammy Zin from the Dry Creek Valley and is a steal at $19.99. As far as the Ed Hardey wines go, we have Chardonnay, Cabernet and just in time for Summer….Sangria!!...ok fine...but Sangria is still hot, and it’s the cheapest of the bunch at 2 for $14. The labels are pretty cool, and I think we may try to get a burly biker dude here to ink up your arms as you enjoy the wines. OK…maybe we’ll just get some temporary tattoos and pretend.
Ah yes…it’s back...all 4 of the local sports teams in action!! We have the Sox limping into the playoffs…The Pats going for 2 straight against the tough Raven “D”…the Bruins about to open their quest for the Cup...and even the Celts with a healthy KG starting camp down in Newport RI !!....hmmm… who do you think has the best chance to bring a title back to Beantown?
