First wine tastng of the decade!

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter….grrrrrrr…so much for the Pats playoff run…that was just brutal to watch…let’s hope they make some good off-season moves, the youngsters mature, and we make a run next year. This may sound like sacrilege, but I’m pulling for the Jets to win it all. Well at least we still have Super Brew V to look forward too. The lineup is coming into focus and it should be a great show as always. Be sure to save the date…Saturday, January 30th from 2:30 to 5 PM !!


To whet your beer appetite we have the one and only Kat here tonight from 4:30 to 7 to pour the delicious beers from Wachusett Brewing Co. out of Westminster, MA. She will be featuring the 6 beers that come in their Box of Brews Mixed 12 pk. - Blueberry, Country Ale, Green Monstah Ale, Black Shack Porter, IPA, and Ryde Beer. As a special promotion we have all Wachusett 12-pks for only $13.99 tonight (Thursday) only. We will also take 10% off any Wachusett 6-packs as well. So stop by, try some great local beers, and pick up a 12-pk at this great price!



We have a special “Customer Wine Tasting” lined up for Friday night from 4:30 to 7 PM. Megan (the store owner for those who do not know) and her Partner in Crime (PIC) Ellen will be here to launch this year’s customer wine tastings. I don’t have a list of the wines they are going to feature…and I need to get this newsletter out….so knowing a bit about their tastes and preferences I am going to PIC 4 wines out for them, and they can add their personal favorites the night of the tasting. I know they both loved the Mionetto Organic Prosecco we tasted a couple months ago so let’s start with that 1. Next, I know Ellen likes Chardonnay so let’s go with Mer Soleil Silver Unoaked Chardonnay. This is from the Santa Lucia Highlands and I’ve heard great things about it, and have been dying to try it myself. Next up will be Roaring Meg Pinot Noir from Mt. Difficulty. This is a yummy New Zealand Pinot Noir and the name is just begging for a few 1 liners...but I like my job… so let’s move on to the next wine! Did anybody besides Mike and I watch the Winemakers on PBS? You know, the reality show…12 people…1 passion…well, the winner was announced and we will unveil it and sample the winning wine Friday night. I hear they will be whipping up a fabulous Organic Surf & Turf buffet for this big event so skip dinner and rush to the 1st Customer Wine tasting of this decade!
