Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I hope
everybody had a good week and enjoyed the Super Bowl
game last Sunday. Not a bad game…though I thought
the commercials this year were mediocre at best. We
survived another huge snow storm and we’re less than
a week away from the Redsox pitchers and catchers to
report to spring training! The Celts look beat
limping into the all-star break...let’s hope the B’s
can keep the momentum going after that dismal
stretch as they head into the Winter Olympic
break. Which brings me to the Winter Games in
Vancouver, BC. I don’t know about you but I look
forward to the Olympics every 2, years and find
myself rooting for skiers, skaters, snowboarders,
and even the crazy sweeping nonsense of the curling
competition. And having been to Vancouver and
Whistler, I’m really looking forward to the views
from this breathtaking area.
As
far as events at Cork’s this week, we’re going to
stay low key for another week on the tasting front.
I have some beer tastings coming up in the next few
weeks including the brand new Bud Select 55 and
Goose Island, a cool microbrew from the Midwest. As
far as wine tastings I’ll leave the floor open for
Bum Runners sit & spit event on Friday night. But
as always we’ll have a couple of bottles open
here...perhaps with a Valentine theme. We do have
some wine tastings booked, including the lovely Erin
from J. Polep with some great new wines, and a
Customer Wine tasting lined up. We still have room
for a couple more and I know there a few of you out
there asking about them so now is the time to let me
know.
It
should be an interesting week as Megan and the girls
head to Napa Valley and Sonoma. I’m sure they will
have lots of stories to share about the beautiful
wineries and vineyards they will be visiting. Have a
great weekend everybody and we’ll see you soon.
