Back To Reality Wednesday April 15th.
Zacharias Merlot, From One Of The World's Oldest Wine Producing Regions; Greece
The Greeks have had 6500 years to perfect the art of wine making. For over 30 years, the Zacharias family has utilized traditional and modern wine making techniques "through an integrated environmental management system. With total respect for nature and man." This Wine Enthusiast "Best Buy" is a "Friendly and engaging Merlot has bright red fruit aromas and velvety, well-integrated tannins. Flavors are bright and balanced, and the textured palate wraps up with a long, dry finish." Regularly $15.99, ON SALE: $10.99 and take an additional 15% off a case of 12.
Our Special Purchase Is Winding Down: Italian Craft Organic Lager, Just $7 per 12 Pack OTD*
Started off with a pallet load of this beer but it is starting to run low. When it's gone, it's gone. This traditional "Lager Bionda" is made with just 4 ingredients; water, barley malt, hops and yeast in the Italian farming region of Conegliano, about 50 miles north of Venice. This is another supplier "hidden treasure" that was discounted enough for us to offer it for just $7 per 12 pack "Out The Door", meaning this price includes any applicable tax or deposit. The only catch is that "da consumarsi preferibilmente entro la fine (best by the end of) 11/25." This beer will still be great well beyond this date, that is merely a suggestion. If you have any doubt, ask for a free sample.
Nothing Says Spring Like Rosé
Our latest inflation-fighting and thus-far tariff-dodging sixpack contains 2 white and 4 red wines that come in their own reusable, partitioned, eco-friendly six bottle bag. As a bonus, when you bring your empty bag back in, you receive a club discount on the purchase of six bottles or more of any of our in-stock wines. Our sixpack club has no rules and no obligations, just a good value collection of specially selected wine. Check https://corkncap.com/our-latest-wine-sixpack/ for information on the latest sixpack available.
Pre-Tariff Pricing Still Holding On Our Best Sellers
Chateau La Castillonne Red, our best selling wooden crate Bordeaux of all time, has a sibling. The red has been known for its consistent quality year in an year out. It is a classic 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that has crowd-pleasing brambly fruit notes, a dryness that lends it self well to pairing with a variety of foods without over powering them, and finishes with firm but gentle tannins.
Chateau La Castillonne White, says “Sauvignon Blanc” on the label but it likely also includes a small amount of Semillon, another important grape from the Bordeaux region responsible for rounding the edges and softening the citrus notes of the predominant grape, giving the resulting wine a luscious structure and mouth-feel.
Try either wine for $10.99 a bottle or grab a wooden crate of 12 bottles for just $108, a savings of almost $2 per bottle. While drier than a typical domestic wine, Bordeaux wines are typically lighter in alcohol and much lower in residual sugar, with minimal chemical adulteration for people who care about such things. Goes great with tacos.
Won't You Be My Neighbor?
My neighboring building attached to the south side of Cork 'n Cap is available for lease. Approximately 1500sqft on first floor. This historic Civil War era building would be great for retail or for office space. Even better now that most of the road construction is done. Plenty of parking. Call or stop by for details. 517-784-0687
