6th Annual Spring Tasting coming soon...save the date!

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Thankfully we avoided that mini snowstorm that they were talking about. We can’t have any more snow with the Sox opening up in a week. Speaking of the Redsox, this years Longball Cellars wines are ChardonClay and Cabernace for Buchholz and John Lester. They will be here in early May and we’ll taste them when they come in. We had a tasting lined up with Geary’s tonight but we have to cancel it. We’ve done Geary’s a bunch of times in the last few months, and I’m sure most of you know what this great Micro brewery from Maine is all about. We are still featuring the 12-packs this month for $13.99 with a free pint glass.

We don’t have a wine tasting scheduled for this Friday either. We will put something together for next Friday night and our 6th Annual Grand Spring Wine tasting will be in just 3 weeks. I am putting the lineup of wines and liquors together right now and it could be our best wine tasting ever! We will have close to 85 wines and a few liquor concoctions as well. We will post the lineup and more details on the website (corksfinewine.com) as the event draws closer. We have some great weekly sale items going on this week….are you folks checking out these greatly weekly promotions we have been running? There is a whiteboard in the front of the store and signage on these discounted items throughout the store. Part of this week’s sale is a wholesale discount on all French wines of 20 %. For some reason French wines just don’t sell the way they used to…be it the Aussie invasion…or France’s boycott of the Gulf war (do you remember Freedom Fries?)...or their stubbornness to list the varietals on the label...either way French wines have been down for quite some time. So we will be swapping the French wines from the front of the lay downs with the Spain/Portugal/Europe laydown wines. So hopefully after we sell a bunch of French wines this week before we will make this swap.
