Check out Marc's beer tasting this week...

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Quite a bit has happened in the last 2 weeks since our last newsletter. I hope everybody had a nice Easter and Passover. The Bruins came back against the Canadiens and are 2 up on the Flyers. The Celts swept the Knicks but are 2 down coming home against the heat. Even the Sox are righting the ship and are poised to get back to .500 tonight against their whipping boys from Anaheim. A big thanks to Guy and Phil who did a customer wine tasting last week while I was away. I heard there was a good turnout and quite the lil party going on back there. Sorry I missed it… So who’s next for a customer wine tasting???

Marc will be doing this week’s beer tasting on Thursday May 5th from 4:30 to 7 PM. He will be pouring beers from Belgium and some domestic style Belgian beers. The lineup includes St. Bernardus Abt 12…Chimay Cinq Cents (White)… Westmalle Dubbel…La’ Chouffe IPA Tripel…Lost Abbey Red Barn Ale…and Ommegang Rare VOS. Sounds like a great mix of beers and as always we will take 10% off any of the beers you try that evening. Wachusett Box of Brews Mixed 12-pk is the beer of the Month for May. They will be on sale all month for $13.99 and you get a free pint glass with every mix 12.



We are going to take this week off from wine tastings. I will find somebody for next week or do one myself next Friday night. I do have some wines that have made their return to the Cork’s shelves in the last couple of weeks. The “Bitch” is back! (no...not Erin… she was back a couple weeks ago). I’m talking Bitch Grenache from Australia. This is the wine with the cutesy pink “Bitch” label that we used to sell a ton of. The people who make it went chapter 11 but you all bitched so much asking for it, so now it’s back just in time in for Mother’s Day! (for your Mother in Law of course not Mom)

Speaking of Mothers Day we do have Mommy’s Time Out in our 2 for $16 bins as well. Lastly Bogle Phantom has re-emerged here at Cork’s. This delicious red blend comes out just once a year, in the fall, and we blew through 20 cases of it. But the supplier was able to track some down from another state and we have 3 more cases…but come in quick because they will not last!
