Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. We have picked out a date for our 6th Annual Grand Fall Wine Tasting. It will be Thursday night October 28th from 5 to 7:30 PM. We’ll bring in a bunch of new and interesting wines for the Fall and upcoming Holiday Season. Since it is just a couple of days before Halloween we encourage you to wear a costume for the event. We’ll even give out a gift to all in costume, and award a grand prize for the best costume.
Speaking of tastings we will do an in-house beer tasting tonight (Thursday) from 4:30 to 7. It will either be me, Danni, or Kat and we will celebrate the arrival of the Fall Season with some Pumpkin and Oktoberfest beers. We will be sampling Harpoon Oktoberfest, Brooklyn Oktoberfest, Lakefront Pumpkin Lager, and Southern Tier Pumking. Since they are rationing the amounts of Shipyard Pumpkin we can get, my 6 pk Pumpkin Beer of choice is from
Lakefront Brewing out of Milwaukee. It is on record as the best brewery tour I have been on to date, as 1 of the owners was a comedian/drunkard and we all got 5 “chips” for beers to drink before…during…and after the tour! Southern Tier Pumking could possibly ruin all other Pumpkin Beers after the 1st sip. It is full bodied, spicy, and has the taste of pumpkin pie with a graham cracker crust….mmmmmmm…yummmie.
It’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve done a wine tasting so I’m going to pick out a few new wines and do 1 myself this Friday from 4:30 to 7 PM. Let’s kick it off with the brand new Woodbridge Sparkling Wine. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was. It tastes like Prosecco and is only $10.99. Next up is Layer Cake Virgin Chardonnay, an un-oaked Chard. Next up is Tierruca Pinot Noir from Chile. This is a delicious Pinot and a steal at 2 for $14. We have to unleash the '09 Bogle Phantom next. This is a deep, dark, brooding blend of Petite Sirah, Old Vive Zinfandel, and Old Vine Mourvedre. And since the nights are getting a tad nippy, let’s finish the night and warm you up, with Sao Pedro 10year old Tawny Porto.
Just a quick reminder on a few events that we have coming up. Kat & Courtney have a fundraiser next Wednesday September 29th starting at 6:30 at Trinity Restaurant in Norton. It is in memory of Sarah Pellon and Paula Querzoli-Smith and all the money raised goes to 2 graduating seniors from Bishop Feehan.
