Memorial Day weekend tastings...stop by and stock up!

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Looks like it’s going to be gorgeous weather right through the Memorial Day weekend. We have a ton of “Summer Beers” in stock including Harpoon IPA and Summer 12 pack cans that will be in later on today. So whether you’re making your 1st trek of the year to beach, grilling out in the backyard, or just kicking back watching the Celtics put away Orlando or the Sox sweep Tampa Bay, we have all your summer drink favorites here at Cork’s.

We also have both a beer tasting and wine tasting lined up for you this week. Thursday night from 4:30 to 7 we have Miguel from L. Knife (or perhaps a supermodel substitute) to taste you on the new lineup from Cisco Brewers out of Nantucket, MA. He/she will have the Sankaty Light Lager, Whale’s Tale Pale Ale, Bailey’s Blonde Ale, and Indie Pale Ale. These 12 oz. beers now all come in 6 packs instead of the 4 pks or 25 oz. format. And for your boating and poolside pleasure, the Whale’s Tale Pale Ale now comes in 12 pk cans as well. What better way to unofficially kick of the summer beer season than a local microbrew from Nantucket! You know…I once knew a girl from Nantucket who…well, lets keep this newsletter PG and free of protest from the PC police.

We also have a new couple at Cork’s (who I think are getting married soon) here to do a customer wine tasting this Friday from 4:30 to 7 PM. Rita and Tim have been regulars at our last few wine tastings and have asked to share some of their favorite wines with their friends, family and you folks, too. They have an excellent lineup picked out for you to enjoy, starting with Anne Amie Pinot Gris from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The next 2 are great summer whites from France…Delauney TYDY Sauvignon Blanc and Michelle Picard Vouvray. For reds, they have selected 2 from Stephen Vincent…the Pinot Noir and the ever popular Crimson. They will end the tasting with a great summer barbecue wine, Greg Norman Petite Sirah. I hear they will be boiling lobstahs and grilling T-bones in the back of the store to pair with these delicious wines so be sure to stop by and get the long holiday weekend started.

We will be closed on Monday Memorial Day. This is first of 3 holidays that the state makes us shut the store down. Kind of weird. You can open on Labor Day and July 4th, but you have to close on Memorial Day. Either way, I’ll be moving and unpacking into my new condo, so if you want to help me move this weekend, be sure to let me know! I hope you all have a great weekend and we’ll see you soon.

Robert
