Come
to the Library's fourth

Cotuit
Liquors...
Enjoy
a fine wine-tasting sponsored by Cotuit Liquors and Uncorkedonline.com.
Marstons Mills caterer Nibbles-n-Sips is preparing hot hors d'oeuvres
and Trader Joe's of Hyannis is providing cocktail shrimp for you to
savor during the evening.
Peruse our selection of wonderful silent
auction items and bid on your favorites. Don't forget to put your name
and number on your ticket and enter it into the raffle!
There will be two tables for tasting,
each with knowledgeable pourers. Furthermore, well-known expert Wendy
Koder (a.k.a. "Wendy the Wine Lady") will be there to discuss
the wines in further detail and answer any of your questions. Guests
will receive special discounts from Cotuit Liquors on featured wines:
- 2 bottles = a 5% discount
- 6 bottles = a 10% discount
- 12+bottles = a 20% discount
These discounts will be extended to
non-sale wines throughout the store as long as one of the featured
wines is included in your purchase. Standard store discounts will
be applied otherwise (10% discount on 12 or more bottles). Even better,
Cotuit Liquors will donate 10% of wine sales by paid guests to the
Marstons Mills Public Library!
