Pre "Big Game" News!

Welcome to Cork’s “Winter Wonderland” and “Big Game” Bowl newsletter. These snowstorms are getting just a little ridiculous now, don’t you think? I heard when Punxsutawney Phil came out of his hole he was immediately pelted with snowballs, became rabid and bit the ankle of Bill Murray… so now we have 3 more months of winter. Well the good news is we have less than a week before the Sox equipment truck heads to sunny Ft. Myers, Florida. And if it helps here are the top 10 signs that spring is right around the corner from Redsox.com http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/fan_forum/voice.jsp?partnerId=ed-4184818-183032328 Let’s hope the next storm due on Saturday is just a minor nuisance, and it won’t interfere with all the “Big Game” parties.

Let’s give a tip of the cap to Marc for what I thought was 1 of the best big beer tastings we’ve had in awhile. And thanks to all of you who once again turned out in droves and made Superbrew VI a huge success. We do have a special beer tasting lined up for tonight (Thursday) with Sarah from Samuel Smith from 4 to 7 PM. It is the “Samuel Smith Salute” celebrating the 30 years that these beers have been available in the states. There are only 10 stores Mass. that have this special tasting. I’m not sure how many of the 9 plus Sammy Smith brews she will be sampling, but we will have a special price of just $2.95 on the 550 ML size. We will also take 10 % off any of the 4-pks if you prefer that package tonight only. Some come celebrate with the British brewery that launched the US craft beer revolution.

I’m going to do a wine tasting on Friday night (4:30 to 7) featuring the wines we are running for this week’s sale. I’m glad to see some of you taking advantage of these great weekly specials. We’ll start with Torrent Bay Pinot Gris from New Zealand. We sold a ton of this wine when we launched it at a tasting over a year ago and not much since then, so we will take $3 off and sell it for just $9.99 this week. Keeping with that same price of $9.99 and 3 bucks off we have Four Vines Naked (Unoaked) Chardonnay and Zinfandel. Last but not least we have Laboure-Roi Morgon that I bought on a pre-sell last year (are you sensing a theme to our weekly sales yet?) we will take $5 off this wine and sell it for only $12.99 this week. So here is a complete list of this week’s sale items.
