Christmas Cheer from all of us at Cork's Fine Wine!

Welcome to Cork’s Christmas newsletter. It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only 3 days away! It seems like it was just Thanksgiving last week. I hope you all have your shopping just about wrapped up. Well, not all of it, of course…I’m sure you still need to come see me and pick out some nice holiday wines…Or have Marc show you some great Winter beers and seasonal brews…or maybe you just need some Bailey’s or Kahlua for that special someone. Well, be sure to stop in and let us fulfill all your last minute holiday needs.

We have a couple of special tastings lined up for Christmas week here at Cork’s. Our good friend Miguel will be here tonight (Thursday) from 4:30 to 7 PM to sample you on our “Beer of the Month” Sam Adams Winter Variety Pack. This festive 12-pk contains 2 bottles of Boston Lager…Winter Lager…Old Feziwig…Chocolate Bock…Holiday Porter…and Black & Brew Coffee Stout. Not only can you buy this Holiday 12-pk for $12.99 (tonight only) - you get a free Sam Adams pint glass as well. This is a great item to bring to Moms, the In-Laws, or Uncle Jim’s for Christmas dinner. With 6 different varieties, there should be 1 to please everyone.

Tommy (he ain’t heavy he’s my brother) Bolini will be here for a Holiday wine tasting on Friday night from 4 to 7 PM. He will start with a white bend from Rosemount Estate in Australia. Traminer Riesling for those that do not know is a blend of Riesling (that was the obvious 1) and Gewurztraminer (hence the Traminer). From there we go to 1 of the best California wine producers, Rodney Strong Vineyards from Sonoma County. Tom will taste you through the big 4 varietals…Chardonnay…Pinot Noir…Merlot…and Cabernet. These wines are all beautifully made and at least 1 of them will pair beautifully with that turkey, ham, or roast beast you’re having for Christmas dinner. He will end the tasting with the wine we always end our holiday gatherings with - Dell Acquese Moscato D’asti. This is the classic dessert wine that even my Mom doesn’t make that funny winey face when she drinks it. So come kick off the long Christmas weekend with the Tommy Bolini Show on Friday night!

We will be open from 9 AM to 6 PM on Saturday, Christmas Eve. The store will be closed on Sunday, Christmas Day. And thanks to a last minute reprieve by the Governor, we will be open from noon to 6 on Monday, Boxing Day! Just a reminder that we have the easiest in-and-out parking here at Cork’s. No need to fight for a space, or get stuck in mall traffic. We also match any advertised sale price in town. So there is no reason to shop anywhere else but Cork’s this Holiday Season.

From all of us at Cork’s Fine Wine & Liquors, Merry Christmas! …oh and Kathy says Happy Hanukkah too!
