Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I hope everybody
had a nice Valentine’s Day weekend and you’re enjoying
the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. It was quite a day
for the USA team with 3 gold medals last night. And
guess what today is…Redsox pitchers and catchers report
to spring training! It’s almost 50 degrees today as
well, so spring can’t be to far away.
We
haven’t had a beer tasting in a couple of weeks since
the big Super Brew V event, so let’s get Mr. Wallace to
crack open some brews tonight (Thursday) from 4:30 to 7
PM. He will have a Spring beer…(Anchor Bock Beer), a
Winter beer…(Winter Bourbon Cask Ale), and we even have
a beer from Surrey, British Columbia ...hey, it’s not
Vancouver but this canned beer is freakin good! (Red
Racer IPA). The last 1 has nothing to do with Spring,
Winter, or the Olympics but just sounds really cool.
It’s Dogfish Head Red & White. It’s brewed with
coriander, orange peel and Pinot Noir juice and is even
aged in Pinot Noir barrels. As with all our Thursday
night beer tastings, we will take 10% off any beers we
taste that evening.
We
haven’t done an official wine tasting in a bit either
(though we ended up opening 5 bottles last Friday), so
let’s do 1 this Friday night from 4:30 to 7 PM. Since
we’re in the middle of winter and I’m sure you’re all
still paying off them Christmas bills, let’s do a value
tasting. Windy Ridge Chardonnay will get us started,
this delicious Central Coast Chard drinks like a $15
wine and is just 2 for $14. Cono Sur Viognier is next
at 2 for $16. All of the Cono Sur wines are amazing and
a great value. Next is a Portuguese red blend called
Cerejeiras at 2 for $14. Valcantara Old Vine Garnacha
is next and even at 2 for $20 is a great wine. We have
to have 1 bomb in the mix, so let’s end with a French
Burgundy. Laboire-Roi La Belle Masure Cote de Nuits-Villages…sounds
like a lot of words for a Pinot Noir but it’s an ‘07 and
I bet it’s drinking real good right now.
Have a great weekend and we’ll see you soon.
