Stock up for Easter! Lots of easy access parking and we'll match sales prices!

Welcome to Cork's Easter newsletter. Just a reminder we will be open from 9 AM until 10 PM on both Good Friday, and the Saturday before Easter for your shopping convenience. We will be closed on Easter Sunday.

I'd like to thank all of you who attended our 6th Annual Grand Spring Wine tasting last Thursday. While it may have been a little lighter turnout than usual, (Yankee Spirits in South Attleboro had their big tasting the same night), I think it gave you folks more elbow room and space to maneuver around the store and talk with the wine salespeople. We are thinking of going back to the original Saturday afternoon time slot like we do for our big beer tastings going forward. This seems to work best for most of you as you have Sunday to "recover" from the tasting without having to worry about getting up the next day for work. Please let us now if you have any feedback (positive or negative) on the tasting and what day/time you would like to see them on.

Marc is making up for the fact that I stole his Thursday night last week for a wine tasting with a double barreled beer tasting bonanza this week. We have Andrew from Sam Adams here tonight from 4:30 to 7 to sample you on their Summer Variety 12-pks. In addition to the usual suspects, this year’s mix includes East/West Kolsh (whatever the heck that is) and Rustic Saison. This package has been o
ur "Beer of the Month" for April and we've sold a ton at $13.99 (with a free glass!) but this week they are just $12.99 and yes, we'll still throw in the limited edition Sam Adams glass for you. On Saturday we have my cousin Vinnie here from 3:30 to 6 PM for a Goose Island beer tasting. He will have the 312 Wheat...Honker's Ale...IPA...Summertime...and also Sophie and Pepe Nero in the larger formats. We will take 10% off any Goose Island Beer during this tasting event.

I'm not going to have a wine tasting this Friday night as we are still recovering from last week’s big event. I do think we are having a customer tasting next Friday night with Guy and Phil but unfortunately I won't be here for that 1 either. I will be down in sunny Ft. Myers Beach on a special assignment to investigate how the Sox losing 10 of their last 11 in the Grapefruit League led to their horrendous start this year. This is a tough assignment so I've enlisted the help of our web mistress Marianne to sit on the deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico with a drink to help me ponder this inexplicable situation. So with me not here next week, our weekly sale will now be a 2 week sale!
