Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Another gorgeous day as we wind down on the summer season. Perfect weather for the beach, BBQ’s, picnics, concerts, or a baseball game. Speaking of baseball…go Cumberland, RI in the Little League World Series! Let’s see if you can do better than the team I was on in ‘73 as we didn’t even make it out of the 1st round in the state tourney. As the season changes, we have a ton of new Fall/Pumpkin/Oktoberfest beers arriving daily, as well as a bunch of new wines as we gear up for the cooler days and wine season. So be sure to ask Marc or myself what’s new at Cork’s.
Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves and end summer just yet – this is the theme of my wine tasting this Friday night from 4:30 to 7 PM. I will start with Willm Pinot Blanc from Alsace France. This a very versatile food wine from a region that makes great wines that are so often overlooked. Next we go to Germany for Starling Castle Riesling. I got a great price on this wine that originally sold for $12.99. It is part of this week’s sale and is just $8.99 or 2 for $16. A to Z Oregon Rose Wine is a perfect summer wine and goes great with grilled salmon. Billa-Haut Cotes Du Roussilon Villages and Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel make up the “Red” portion of the tasting. From burgers…to ribs...to juicy steaks, these are both excellent BBQ wines. We will finish with the newest addition to the Sangria craze from Red Guitar.
Similar to the Sox on Tuesday, we have a double header here at Cork’s. Due to scheduling issues with Vinnie and his Vinnions, we had to move our Thursday beer tasting to Friday night. One of the Vinnions will be here to sample you on Goose Island out of Chicago, IL. He will have the 312 Urban Wheat Ale, IPA, and Honkers Ale all in 6 packs. He will also taste you on the Fleur and Pepe Nero in the 22 OZ large format. As with all our beer tastings we will take 10% off any Goose Island product you buy that night.
