New location for Grand Spring Wine Tasting..and winter blahs...

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. My how quickly the weather can change here in the New England area. Just last week we hit 60 degrees and I was saying how the Sox should just have spring training up here, and this week we have snow, freezing rain, and slop. I suppose we were due for another snowstorm or two as it really has been quite the mild and snow free winter.

I’d like to thank out new friend Mike from Quadrant Software who did our Friday night wine tasting last week. He brought in a bunch of his co-workers to mix with our regulars for a fun wine tasting evening. We still have openings if anybody is interested in doing their own “Customer” wine or beer tasting here at Cork’s. Just let Marc or I know and we will put you on the schedule.

We don’t have a wine or beer tasting for this week here at Cork’s as we finish up our inventory this week. Thanks for bearing with us as we get this done during a slow period after the holidays. We do have some new changes coming to Cork’s soon as well. We are planning a new tasting area in the front right hand corner of the store. We will have our high end scotch, beers, and liquors in the front of the cases similar to our finest wines in the back of the store. We are also going to angle some of the shelves in the front of the store to make access easier for Marc’s imported microbrews, and have a better traffic flow to that area. Again thanks for your patience during our mini construction as we try to bring you a new and easier shopping experience here at Cork’s.

We are also going to change up our Grand Spring Wine Tasting event this year. Instead of having the event here at Cork’s, we are going to be the official sponsor of Julia’s Garden Charity Wine Event at Christina’s in Foxboro. This is the 5th year of this event and all proceeds go towards the building and maintaining of the “Julia’s Garden and Playground” complex located in the World
War I Park in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. We hope to have 8 wine tables, 4 beer tables, and 2 liquor tables there for you to sample. There will also be food, raffles, a silent auction, even music & dancing till 11 PM. The date is Friday March 30th and you can find more info and order tickets here www.gardenwinetasting.com .
