Cruise on down to Cork's for this week's specials

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. This will be a 2 week newsletter as this time next week I’ll be on St. Maarten Island in the Caribbean on my fabulous cruise…thanks Sis and Oprah!! So we’ll talk about tastings for the next couple of weeks and the sale will be good for 2 weeks as well. So we’ll cover a lot of topics in a brief fashion. So let’s get the sports references out of the way off the top. The Sox are looking great in Grapefruit Leaguer action down in Ft. Myers…The B’s are back home after a crazy 6-0 roadtrip...I wasn’t a fan of the trade Danny made for the C’s at 1st but upon further review it could have been a “Red-like” steal…It looks like both the winter teams may be playing well into the spring this year.

Marc will be doing this week’s beer tasting himself from 4:30 to 7 PM. He has an eclectic lineup from all over the place. Here is what he will be sampling you on. Magic Hat Vinyl (their Spring seasonal)…Ayinger Hefeweizen…Williams Brother’s Joker IPA…Pauwell Kwak Belgian Ale (we special ordered this for some Kwak and he never showed, and left a bogus # )…and Dogfish Head Red & White…which is brewed with coriander, orange peel, and Pinot Noir juice…mmmm…sounds yummie. As of right now we don’t have a beer tasting scheduled for next week but we’re looking for volunteers, and for the following week for a St. Patties Day tasting…are you Irish Donnie?!?

John (don’t call me Johny Pesky) from Trio Wines will grace us with his presence for Friday nights wine tasting from 4:30 to 7 PM. Here is what John will be pouring. Maggio Sauvignon Blanc…Bianchi Chardonnay…CU-4-TRO Red Blend (new wine-great value!)…OZV Zinfandel…Coco Rosso, a chocolate infused wine…and he will end with Glen Moray Single Malt Scotch that just happens to be a weekly special sale item. We won’t have a tasting next week as I will be stuffing my pie hole after a day on St. John’s Island about the usual wine tasting time (can you tell I’m excited about the cruise yet?)
