Corked the Comic Wines and Caricatures Friday at Cork's

Welcome to Cork’s Fine Wine weekly newsletter. We have a very special wine tasting lined up for this Friday night from 4 to 7 PM. We have the winemaker, Francis Sanders, from Corked the Comic Wines to taste you on his delicious wines. In addition to Francis, we have the label designer and artist David Griffin here as well. While you’re sampling and talking to Francis (and trust me…he can talk!) about his excellent wines, David will do a caricature of you! You can check out the Corked the Comic strip here (www.corkedthecomic.com )

The wines are really quite good as I just tried them and brought them in a few weeks ago. The 1st wine they will be tasting you on is Mira Luna Tough Day Chardonnay. This unoaked Chardonnay is from the Carneros region of Sonoma, and drinks like a $20 plus bottle for just $14.99. Next up is the Mira Luna Crusher & Stemmer Red. This red blend is predominantly Merlot, but has all 4 of the other Bordeaux varietals in it as well, and is just $10.99. Last but not least is Tough Dame Cabernet. This big rich Cab also has a lil Petite Sirah and Syrah mixed in as well. You will think you're drinking a $15 to $20 Cab but you're not... it's just $12.99. We will do a special discount for this tasting only and give you 15 % off any of the wines you try that night! So come try some great wines...meet an actual winemaker...and go home with hopefully a nice picture of yourself!

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, we do have a beer tasting tonight with our good friend Miguel from L. Knife. He will be sampling our “Beer of the Month” Peak Organic Variety 12 Pk. This consists of Pale Ale…IPA…Nut Brown Ale…and yes…our 1st winter beer of the season…Winter Session Ale. We had a good response to the Peak organic line the last time we sampled them, and I’m looking forward to trying them. The mix 12 will be sale priced at $13.99 for the week, and of course with all our “BOTM” Variety packs you get a free pint glass with your purchase.

We do have a Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice Liqueur for all those crazy fall drink recipes as well. Don’t forget we will match any ad from our local (Mansfield) competitors. Just bring the ad in and we’ll be happy to honor that price. Enjoy the “Bye Week” and we’ll see you at Friday nights special “Corked the Comic” wine tasting!
