Welcome to Cork’s Thanksgiving newsletter. I hope you all had a good time at our 7th Annual Grand Holiday Wine tasting this past Saturday. After a slow start it picked up halfway through and I’d say it ended up 1 of the better wine tastings we’ve had in years. Hopefully you found some new and interesting wines, and stocked up for the upcoming holidays. Let me know if you have any comments (good or bad) about the tasting. We are always trying to improve and fine tune these big tastings to make them more enjoyable for you. I think we’ll switch back to the “old” famous pizza… this batch just didn’t seem to cut it this time. But overall I think it won’t over pretty good. What do you think?
This week’s beer tasting is with Victory Brewing Co. out of Pennsylvania. I’m really not sure who’s doing the tasting to be honest. Is it Marc?...maybe Miguel again?...Donnie?... Zack?...maybe a new rep from Victory?...maybe that elusive supermodel they used to promise me. Either way, this is what they will be sampling you on: Headwaters Pale Ale…Hop Devil IPA…Hop Wallop Imperial IPA…Golden Monkey…Storm King Imperial Stout…and Helios Saison. Sounds like a pretty kick-ass lineup to me! We will take 10 % off any beers you taste tonight (Thursday) from 4:30 to 7 PM.
Friday night’s wine tasting (4 to 7 PM) is with Eric from Baystate Wines. Here is a glimpse of what he will be pouring for you: Red Newt Riesling…Steven Vincent Chardonnay…Red Tree Pinot Noir…Line 39 Cabernet…Viu Manent Reserve Carmenere…and Duggan’s Irish Cream. These all make nice pairings for Thanksgiving dinner, and as I’ve said in the past, the Duggan’s is better than Bailey’s for less than ½ the price.

This will probably be the last newsletter before Thanksgiving. As next Thursday is Turkey Day, and the day before is just too crazy to write 1. So let’s talk about Thanksgiving hours. We will be open 9 AM to 10 PM on the Wednesday before (23rd)…Closed Thanksgiving Day…and open 10 AM to 9 PM on “Black Friday”. Don’t forget we have the easiest in-and-out parking at these busy holiday times. And we will match any local (Mansfield) sales ad out there.
I do have Mayflower White & Red from Plymouth Winery, along with the Cranberry Wine that people have been asking me about for years. Marc is also closing out my favorite Fall seasonal beers for you. Any Pumpkin/Fall/Harvest/Oktoberfest beer still in the barn will be 10 % off. Please stop in and let us help you out with all your Holiday beer, wine, and liquor purchases. Thank you for your business, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Robert
