Valentine's Day Wine Tasting with Aimee and Clara from "The Wrap"

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. We have a special Valentine’s Day wine tasting with Aimee and Clara from “The Wrap” TV show this Friday night from 4 to 7 PM. They will start with a delicious recipe I saw Giada make on her Everyday Italian cooking show (see…I actually do pay attention to the recipes on occasion, Ursula). It is a mix of pomegranate juice, orange juice and we will use Mionetto Il Prosecco. It’s topped with mint, has a deep ruby red color, and it looked almost as yummie as Giada does. Next up are 2 of our most popular white wines - Prendo Pinot Grigio and Shannon Ridge Chardonnay. For reds, they will have Duxinaro Pinot Noir and new Stray Dog Unleashed Red Wine. They will finish the Valentine tasting with Chocolate Shop “The Chocolate Lovers” wine. Unlike the creamy Chocovine blends, this is real red wine with natural dark chocolate flavor. I was a tad skeptical at first but this wine is actually really good.

Marc will take 1 more week off from beer tastings tonight. But he will have 1 next week as we get back into a routine following the big Superbrew event. This is a perfect time for anybody looking to do their own “Customer Beer Tasting”. We have a few more wine ones lined up in the next month so come on beer people where are you? Don’t forget we are clearing room for all the Spring beers arriving by taking 10% off any remaining Winter beers we have left. And you can you can also take 20% off any Fall beers we still have in the barn.

Well, we’re just about a week away from pitchers and catchers reporting to camp. I know my new team, the Pirates, start spring training on the 18th and I think the Redsox the day after. And with this mild winter we’re having can spring be that far behind? Let’s hope the Bruins can turn things around soon, that was quite an ugly loss last night. Let’s see there is something else in the local sports scene I’m forgetting….hmmmmm…Oh yea, congrats to Paul Pierce for passing Larry Legend as the #2 scorer in the storied history of the Boston Celtics. The Celtics look to be on a quiet roll of their own winning 9 of the last 10.

Don’t forget to swing by Cork’s and start the Valentine weekend with The Wrap Girls Friday night, and we’ll see you all soon.
