Welcome to
Cork’s weekly newsletter!
I hope
everyone is enjoying this beautiful May weather we are having! ....Just
kidding, all this rain is a bummer. We may not be enjoying it, but all the
trees and plants around town are getting a big drink, and should be looking
beautiful sometime soon I hope. In celebration of Mother’s Day, we made a
section in the very front of the store with some lovely Mother’s Day favorites.
We polled all the mothers that work here (mine included) and got a nice
selection of wines they would love to drink on their special day, and pair well
with brunch. They are mostly sparkling wines and champagnes, with a few Moscato
thrown in the bunch, and cover every price range.
This
weekend we have a different type of wine tasting happening. During our regular
tasting hours, either Megan or I will have a few bottles open. Starting off
with a lovely Mimosa pre-mixed. This is a nice and easy drinking sparkling wine
to bring to a Mother’s Day brunch and at a great price of $11.99. Next we have
a new brand in the store called J.G. Bazan. It is a Malbec from Mendoza Argentina
and retails usually for $14.99, but will be $12.99 Friday night only. I will
probably open up one more surprise wine to round out the night, suggestions are
welcome!
Kicking off
at 6pm, there is a private wine tasting/fundraiser. We have a few Boston
Marathon runners who ran for the Mass General in support of “’Fighting Kids’
Cancer …One Step At A Time.” They have
booked the back area and have sold tickets for around $25 dollars. Feel free to
stop in to this double tasting to meet the runners and try some wines,
donations are appreciated.
We have not
one, but two guest appearances this week as well. First we have Tom, who will
be the official wine expert at the second tasting. And doing a surprise
appearance as Tom's assistant this weekend only, is everyone’s favorite employee Erin, who I believe
always makes the email when the Bitch wine is in…coincidence? Anyways, those
two will be pouring delicious wines on Friday. And as usual we give 10% off of
wines being tasted that night.
So come in
out of the rain and get your weekend supplies here at Cork’s!!
