Anyone want to hold a tasting here?

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I hope everybody had a great New Year’s holiday. Once again it was crazy here at Cork’s, even with the snowstorm that never ended. As we have done in past years, we will take 15 % off all Champagne, Cava, Prosecco, and any Sparkling Wine until 1-10-10. We do have a few bottles of the “Winter Classic” bubbly that will make great souvenirs from that awesome hockey game at Fenway on New Year’s Day. This is a great opportunity to stock up on “Sparklers” that are great food wines and not just for celebrations.

We don’t have any tastings lined up again for this week as it’s just a real slow time and most of you are partied out. But we will start up the beer tastings with our friends from Wachusett Brewery next Thursday from 4:30 to 7:00. We will have special 12-pk pricing of $13.99 for this event only! I will also see if they can come up with some ski passes to Wachusett Mountain to raffle off as well.

No wine tasting this week either but I’d like to do a “customer wine tasting” next Friday. Any volunteers??? If not, we will talk Megan and PIC into doing the tasting. We are planning to do the hugely popular “Tarot Card Reading/Wine Tasting” event like we did last year. John from Trio Wines will pour the wines and his sister will do a brief tarot card reading for you. The tentative date is for Friday February 12th, but we will confirm and have more details on the website (corksfinewine.com). While we’re on tastings, I kind of screwed up the date on the Super Brew V Beer Tasting in last week’s newsletter. It is Saturday January 30th from 2:30 to 5 PM.

Did anybody see the end of that Celtics game last night?...wow...what a game!! Let’s hope the Pats can take care of business at home this week without Wes. The B’s can get on a roll after that thrilling Winter Classic comeback. And I don’t know about you, but I’m less than thrilled with the Sox off season moves…OK sports references out of the way...have a great week.

Total Confusion is a convention that will be at the Holiday Inn on Hampshire St in February (18-21). We are looking for community activities to offer to attendees. If you ran a beer and wine event on Friday the 19th or Saturday the 20th, we would be very happy to promote it to the attendees both on-line before the event and in our on-site program book. You can also send us flyers for Corkscrew to be place in our swag bags (500ct minimum). You can get in touch with me at mediadirector(at)totalcon.com.
