We have a bunch of stuff going on as Hurricane Earl churns up the east coast. We have a tasting with Vinnie from Quality Beverage on Thursday night and a Beringer wine tasting on Friday night. Both are sponsors of the Deutsche Bank Golf Tournament this weekend and we have tickets and tons of other stuff to give away. We are also just 9 days away from 1 of our biggest beer tastings of the year. Our 6th Annual Kick-Off Beer tasting is next Saturday, September 11th from 2:30 to 5 PM. We are still setting the lineup but it will be a bunch of new beers, seasonal Oktoberfests, and lots of your favorites. We will have our famous tasting pizza and lots of munchies and stuff to give away as well.
My cousin Vinnie will be here Thursday from 4:30 to 7 for this weeks beer tasting. He will be sampling the Bud Light Wheat and Bud Light Lime. He will also have the Sierra Nevada Tumbler, their new Fall Brown Beer, and Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary in the large bottle format. Lastly he will have the Goose Island Demolition in the 22 oz. bottle. He will be raffling off 2 tickets to this weeks Deutsche Bank Golf Tournament. Everybody who tastes the beer is eligible and we will draw the winner at the end of the tasting.
Friday night’s wine tasting from 4 to 7 PM is with The Deutsche Bank official wine sponsor, Beringer. They have a tent set of at the TPC and will be pouring their outstanding wines there. They have given us a ton of stuff to give away and raffle at the tasting. We have 2 sets of 2 tickets to raffle off, 1 of the sets being in the 15th green Sky Chalet where you can have lunch and enjoy some of the wines. We also have a bunch of golf shirts, vest, hats, visors, wristbands, and golf chairs. There is enough stuff for pretty much everybody who comes to the tasting to win something. I think what we will do is make a slip for all the items and after you taste the wines you reach in the hat to pull out what you have won.
As far as the wines we will be sampling we have 3 from Beringer Founder’s Estate. Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Pinot Noir make up these very affordable ($10.99) wines. They will also have 3 wines from the excellent Napa Valley Series. They will be pouring Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Knights Valley Cabernet. As with all our wine tastings you may take 10 % off any of the wines from the entire Beringer family of wines. We do have other varietals in both the Founder’s and Napa series that are eligible for the discount as well.
We will be open from 10 to 6 on Labor Day for all your last minute holiday needs. So whether your enjoying the last unofficial weekend of the summer at the beach…having a Hurricane Earl Party...at the golf course… watching the Pats last pre-season game...or the Sox play out the string… be sure to stop in and stock up on your favorite wine, beers, and spirits. Have a great Labor day weekend everybody.
Robert
P.S…..Be sure to check out our huge Goslings Rum display…they 2 are a sponsor at the TPC and a great place to enjoy a Dark and Stormy!!

Lots of end of summer tastings going on....
Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Finally it looks like the rain is behind us and we have a nice stretch of summer weather ahead of us. We have a lot going on here at Cork’s as we have a beer tasting tonight, a customer wine tasting Friday night, and a liquor tasting Saturday night. We’ve got the Pats home tonight in the only pre-season game worth watching. And the Sox look to hang in the race with a weekend trip to Tampa Bay. We also have 2 tastings next week with tickets, hats, and t-shirts to get you ready for the Deutsche Bank golf tournament.
Tonight’s tasting (Thursday) from 4:30 to 7 PM features a brand new beer to the Mass market called Lake Placid. It is made by Saranac up in Utica, NY and I just got back from visiting them last week. Our friend Jean Marc (who used to work for Newport Storm) will be making his Saranac debut tonight. He will have Lake Placid Honey Rye, India Pale Ale, and Ubu Ale. The Ubu Ale is an English Strong Ale and on tap was 1 of the best beers I’ve ever tasted! He will also have a couple Saranac brews as well as we feature the Summer Variety pack.
Friday night from 4:30 to 7 we have one of my good wine customers Mike and his wife Kat (no…not that Kat) here for a customer wine tasting. Mike is always traveling around the world with his job, and he often brings us wines to sample from his treks. He has picked out a great lineup starting with Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noir Sparkling Wine. Off to Portugal for Arintho Vinho Blanco, a very refreshing, inexpensive summer white wine. Back to the US, and to Washington State to sample Chateau Ste Michelle Gewurztraminer. Traveling down the west coast we arrive at one of the best Central Coast wineries to try the delicious Cambria Pinot Noir. We go back across the Atlantic to France for La Chasse Cotes Du Rhone. The whirlwind tasting ends in Chile with Valdivieso Single Vineyard Reserva Cabernet Franc. I think he said his wife was going to whip up some yummy dishes to pair with the wines so be sure to stop by and check it out.
Last but not least we have a tasting of Double Cross Luxury Vodka on Saturday night from 5 to 7 PM. This premium vodka comes from Slovakia and has been getting some great press. It comes in a cool rectangular bottle and we will take 10 % off the night of the tasting.
Before we go I have a favor to ask all of you. Most of you know my sister Marianne who works Saturday mornings and does the Cork’s website. She also does a ton of other stuff including writing a program for high school kids that she taught for many years. She has entered into a contest with Pepsi to help stop bullying in our schools. She has a curriculum she wrote, and even has a play with Kaleidoscope Theater that they perform at schools. She needs your help to win the contest to support these great causes. You can vote online, and text once a day for the month of August. Here is a link to the page to vote…. www.refresheverything.com/helpstopbullyinginamerica…
And if you can add it to your facebook page, and spread the word to your friends and family that would be great. This is an amazing program that should be in every school in the country. Please help her out if you can.
Thanks,
Robert
PS…don’t forget to say happy 50th Birthday to Megan when you come in!!
