Celtics and Jimmy Buffet and lots of tastings!


Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I need to make this pretty brief as we need to prepare for the immanent invasion of the Parrotheads for day 1 of Jimmy Buffet. And of course, start to build momentum for game 7 of the NBA Finals. I really thought the C’s would take it in game 6, but I think it will be even sweeter now to win on their court in game 7! Looks like the weather is clearing up for the show and we should have a banner day for both!



We do have 2 tastings lined up for to get you ready for tonight’s concert. Vinnie will be here from 2 to 4:30 to sample you on Jimmy Buffet’s own beer, Landshark. He will also have Margaritaville ready-to-drink cocktails to taste as well. I’m not sure if he will get out the mega-blender and crush the ice or just chill them in a glass. Either way it’s a great way to get ready for the show and the 1.75 L bottles are now only $14.99!

If that wasn’t enough, we have our English friend Tim Coleman here for the regular Thursday night beer tasting from 4:30 to 7 PM. He will be sampling the beers that make up Clipper City Heavy Seas Sunken Sampler - Loose Cannon IPA, Classic Lager, Peg Leg Imperial Stout, and Red Sky Saison Ale. They all come in a cool pirate12 pack, and with a sleeve of red cups, would make a perfect beer for the Buffet concerts.

Just in time for the U.S. Open Golf tournament in Pebble Beach, and for Father’s Day this Sunday, we will sample the Crooked Putter Wines Friday from 4:30 to 7 PM. We have the “Better Keep Your Day Job” Sauvignon Blanc…”At The Beach” Chardonnay…”Didn’t Make It To The Ladies Tee” Rose…”Drive For Show But Putt For Dough” Merlot…and “Crushed It !!! ‘ Cabernet. These wines all have crazy animated, holographic labels on them. All the juice is from California and is pretty decent. They are only 15 bucks and make the perfect gift for those Dads that golf.

We even have a Mike’s tasting lined up for Saturday’s show from 1 to 3 PM. They promised me a “supermodel” to sample the new Peach, Lime, and Raspberry Margaritas. Wow…what a weekend for concerts, tastings, and sporting events we have going on! I haven’t even mentioned the Sox and the return of “Mannyworld” this weekend. Or the riveting (YAWN)…nil-nil ties of World Cup Soccer. For those undecided whether to cheer Manny for his contributions to 2 World Series rings…or boo him for his periodic lack of hustle and ugly exit out of Boston, I have the perfect solution. Try to find a “Vavuzela” and blow as hard as you can every time he comes up!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMxEycuSn0o …What the heck is this thing anyways?...it sounds like a demented swarm of bees! Have a great weekend everybody.
