Welcome to Cork’s Memorial Day newsletter. Well it took forever but I think the nice summer weather is finally here just in time. They are calling for upper 70’s to low 80’s for the holiday weekend. Hopefully the showers will be few and far between so we can get our picnics, barbecues, and beach days in. Just to let you know - all liquor stores have to close on Monday Memorial Day. Kind of a weird law because we can open July 4th and Labor Day but the unofficial kick-off to the Summer, we must be closed. We will be open 10 AM to 10 PM on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday from noon to 6 so stop in early and stock up for the long holiday weekend.
This week’s beer tasting (Thursday from 4:30 to 7) is with Wachusett Brewing Co. from out in Westminster, MA. We will be sampling the beers that come in the “Box of Brews” mixed 12 pack. That consists of Wachusett Blueberry, Country Ale, IPA, and Larry Imperial IPA. This is the “Beer of the Month” and comes with a free pint glass! It is also on sale this week for only $12.99. We’re also going to have them open up the Belgian Style White in the 22 OZ. format as well. So please stop by and help support the local guys and try some great beers.
Our friend John from Trio Wines will be here for Friday nights wine tasting from 4:30 to 7 PM. He has 6 great summer wines, and even a homemade “White Sangria”. He will start with a nice value priced (2 for $14) Pinot Grigio called Santa Marta. Next up are 2 organic and vegan wines from Girosole, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Washington Hills Cabernet and Chateau La Rose Tour Blanche Bordeaux are both delicious barbecue wines. He will end with House Jam Chillable Red, and make a White Sangria out of the House Jam White. These are all value wines and budget friendly to get those summer parties started. Don’t forget to check out the website (corksfinewine.com) for this week’s sale items that run till next Wednesday.
Let’s hope the Bruins can wrap things up on the road tonight and rest up for their 1st Stanley Cup in 21 years. Even the Sox already won today with an afternoon spanking of the Indians as they cruise towards 1st place after a dreadful start to the season. So as my sister always tells me, not everybody is into sports, so let’s give a shout out to Oprah for an amazing 25 years of inspiring TV. At least that’s what she tells me…all I know is she paid for my fabulous cruise to the Caribbean…I love Oprah!
Just a reminder: we will match any advertised sale price from any store in Mansfield. Just bring in the ad and we’ll be happy to match the price. Last but certainly not least, a big Thank You to all the all men and women who died serving this great country. So as you’re grilling your burgers and dogs this Memorial Day weekend raise a glass and toast those who made that freedom possible. Have a great holiday weekend everybody.
Robert
