To help celebrate Earthday I think I’ll recycle the old mystery discount this week but take the mystery out of it. Just mention you saw the newsletter…wear an outfit made entirely out of hemp...or just wish the cashier a happy Earthday and receive 10% off any organic wine or beer (including the brand new Southern Tier 422) we have in the store. And if you buy 6-wines (they don’t have to be organic) and ask the cashier, we’ll give you a 6 bottle, earth friendly, green cloth bag for free!! We also have a very limited supply of the really cool black, 4 bottle Earth 2.0 bags left over from Erin’s tasting on Saturday. If you buy at least 2 of the delicious Earth 2.0 wines you can score 1 of them as well.
Our buddy Jacob Pacific (sounds like a made up pornstar name to me) from Sam Adams will be here on Thursday from 4:30 to 7:30 to taste the new Imperial Series beers from Sam. He will have the Imperial White, Imperial Stout, and the Double Bock all in 4 pks for you to sample. I think he said he would do the fairly new Blackberry Witbier also. He promises us he will hang our gigantic Sam Adams montage in the front vestibule area after the tasting too!! One other beer note, we have a limited supply of the Guinness 250 Anniversary Stout. Limit (2) 6-pks per customer, while they last.
We don’t have a wine tasting scheduled this Friday (where are all those people who said they wanted to do a “Customer Wine Tasting” ?!?). I will be off next week on my sorta annual trip to Ft. Myers Beach and off to see the Sox in Tampa Bay, so there won’t be a wine tasting next week either. But we have 7 of the next 8 weeks already booked, so be sure to check the website out (corksfinewine.com) for the lineup.
There won’t be a newsletter next week ( but have no fear, I’ll probably tweet...blog…dig…blurb...burp…or throw updates on the website) so I want to mention that Saranac will be here next Thursday, April 30th from 4:30 to 7:30 for a beer tasting. I’m not sure what the lineup is going to be yet, but we haven’t done them in a long time and they always have good stuff. Let’s hope the Sox keep up their winning ways…The B’s polish off the Canadiens...and the Celts can overtake the upstart Bulls, and keep their playoff run going. Looks like the warm weather will finally be making an appearance…enjoy it, and I’ll catch you all in a couple weeks.

The Beer Wars
Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I hope everybody had a great Easter. Thanks to all of you who stopped by and stocked up for the holiday here at Cork’s…we appreciate your patronage. We have a ton of tastings lined up on both the beer and wine side. You must check out the lineup at corksfinewine.com to see all the events we have booked right into the summer months.
Our friend Bud from Atlantic Imports will be here Thursday to sample you on the outstanding microbrews from Dogfish Head. They are 1 of the leaders in the American microbrew revolution, and will be featured in the Beers Wars movie showing nationwide (and at Patriot Place) at 8 PM on Thursday. This movie documents the history of American microbrews, and will be shown in 450 theaters across the USA for 1 night only. It will be followed by a live simulcast discussion featuring Jim Koch from Sam Adams…Greg Koch from Stone Brewing…Todd Alstrom the founder of BeerAdvocate…and the owners of Dogfish Head. Before the movie from 4:30 to 7:30 Bud will be sampling this outstanding lineup from Dogfish Head. 60 minute IPA…90 minute IPA…Indian Brown Ale…Raison D’Etre…Palo Santo Marron…Midas Touch…and Aprihop. This will be 1 of the best tastings of the year, and with 10% off any Dogfish Head beers that night, 1 you should not miss. Josh and I will be heading over to Patriot Place for the big event and welcome you to join us. In fact Josh said he’d buy any of our regular customers a beer after the show!!
Erin from J. Polep will be here for this week's wine tasting which will be on Saturday this week from 2 to 5 PM. She will be featuring wines to help celebrate Earthday, which is next week on April 22nd. She will start with Peter Brum Riesling from Germany. Next will be 3 brand new organic wines from Earth 2.0. These delicious Spanish wines feature a Tempranillo, a Tempranillo/Cabernet blend, and a Reserve Tempranillo/Merlot. She will finish the tasting with a value Italian wine called Brumante Montepulciano D’Abruzzo that is just $7.99 or 2 for $14. With the purchase of any 4 of these wines, you will receive a cool 4 bottle earth friendly wine bag for free!!!
Well as I write this Tim Wakefield has a no-no going into the 8th and the Sox are up 8-0. Let’s hope this will be the kick they need to change the early season funk they have been in. While we are on the sports theme, with the Bruins starting their Stanley Cup run Saturday at the Garden at 8 PM, we will get the playoffs rolling with a Molson Beer Tasting.from 5 to 7 PM. We have a hockey goal on our front display and an authentic Bruins game jersey signed by the entire lineup of the 2009 team. Unfortunately we will only be giving you a Molson pint glass with the purchase of a 12-pk or any (2) six-pks of Molson. But hey you also get 10 % of on the beer and what better way to get ready for the B’s and Canadians…Eh?
