Celebrate spring training with Cork's Fine Wine!

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. So tell me, why are the Sox having spring training in Florida when it’s almost 60 degrees in February right here in Massachusetts? This sure has been a mild and snow free winter for sure. I’m sure we will get blasted with snow at least one more time, but if we don’t, I’ll be good with that too. I’m trying to take a year off from the Redsox after last years fiasco, but I’m finding it difficult with all the coverage from the new Jetblue (Fenway South) Park that just opened up in my 2nd hometown of Ft. Myers, Fl. We’ll have to see what develops as Spring Training rolls on and we get a taste of the real games at 100 year old Fenway North.

Speaking of tastings we have both a beer and wine tasting on the docket for this week. Our good friend Miguel from L. Knife will be here tonight (Thursday) from 4:30 to 7 to sample you on our current “Beer of the Month” This month's mix is a hand-picked variety pack that Marc pieced together himself. It features Peak Organic Hop Noir…Southern Tier Eurotrash Pils…Smuttynose Robust Porter…and Victory Headwaters Pale Ale. Not a bad mix considering Marc made them himself in the backroom! As always you get a free pint glass with our “Beer of the Month” and tonight only it can be yours for just $13.99.

Friday night’s wine tasting is kind of a “Customer Wine Tasting” as Mike from Quadrant Software will be here to help pour the wines. I will start things off at 4 PM and Mike and his gang will be here after 5 and take over till 7 PM. This tasting of course is open to all you folks as well. We will start the tasting with Sorelle Bronca Prosecco from Italy. From there we go to Germany for Kreuznacher Kronenberg Riesling Spatlese (easy for you to say). Next up is 1 of my favorite wineries in California, Alexander Valley Vineyards, as we pour their Chardonnay. We stay in Cali for 1 of the hottest red blends out there, Apothic Red. Off to Italy for Tomaiolo Chianti Classico Riserva. Mike will end the tasting with the yummie Llama Old Vine Malbec from Argentina.
