Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I hope everybody had a nice Valentine’s Day weekend and you’re enjoying the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. It was quite a day for the USA team with 3 gold medals last night. And guess what today is…Redsox pitchers and catchers report to spring training! It’s almost 50 degrees today as well, so spring can’t be to far away.
We haven’t had a beer tasting in a couple of weeks since the big Super Brew V event, so let’s get Mr. Wallace to crack open some brews tonight (Thursday) from 4:30 to 7 PM. He will have a Spring beer…(Anchor Bock Beer), a Winter beer…(Winter Bourbon Cask Ale), and we even have a beer from Surrey, British Columbia ...hey, it’s not Vancouver but this canned beer is freakin good! (Red Racer IPA). The last 1 has nothing to do with Spring, Winter, or the Olympics but just sounds really cool. It’s Dogfish Head Red & White. It’s brewed with coriander, orange peel and Pinot Noir juice and is even aged in Pinot Noir barrels. As with all our Thursday night beer tastings, we will take 10% off any beers we taste that evening.
We haven’t done an official wine tasting in a bit either (though we ended up opening 5 bottles last Friday), so let’s do 1 this Friday night from 4:30 to 7 PM. Since we’re in the middle of winter and I’m sure you’re all still paying off them Christmas bills, let’s do a value tasting. Windy Ridge Chardonnay will get us started, this delicious Central Coast Chard drinks like a $15 wine and is just 2 for $14. Cono Sur Viognier is next at 2 for $16. All of the Cono Sur wines are amazing and a great value. Next is a Portuguese red blend called Cerejeiras at 2 for $14. Valcantara Old Vine Garnacha is next and even at 2 for $20 is a great wine. We have to have 1 bomb in the mix, so let’s end with a French Burgundy. Laboire-Roi La Belle Masure Cote de Nuits-Villages…sounds like a lot of words for a Pinot Noir but it’s an ‘07 and I bet it’s drinking real good right now.
Have a great weekend and we’ll see you soon.
Robert
