This week, from Monday, May 17 to Sunday, May 23, CORK is participating in TAG Time Happy Hour, a series of events aimed at raising awareness and funds for cancer research and treatment. Organized by Philadelphia’s Kristina and Jim Burke, a food and beverage couple battling cancer and raising funds for EGFR lung cancer research, TAG Time has one goal: to improve outcomes for patients with EGFR positive lung cancer by accelerating research and ultimately changing an EGFR lung cancer diagnosis into a manageable chronic disease.

Funds raised go directly to EGFR Resisters Patient Advocacy Group and LUNGevity Foundation, whose cancer research has revolutionized outcomes for lung cancers patients, including Jim Burke of Wm. Mulherin’s Sons, currently battling lung cancer himself. 

CORK “regulars” Kristina and Jim Burke have personally selected some of their favorite CORK wines. This week, 50% of the sales will be donated to EGFR Resisters and LUNGevity, whose work has revolutionized outcomes for lung cancer patients, including Jim Burke himself. Wine selections include Lusenti Fiocco di Rose (Emilia-Romagna, Italy); Zanasi Lambrusco (Emilia-Romagna, Italy); Famille Baron-Foucher Sancerre (Loire Valley, France); and Ottosoldi Barbera (Piedmont, Italy).

Stop by COOK between 11AM to 8PM daily to pick up TAG Time wines or reserve online for curbside pick up. While you can certainly take them home to enjoy, you may also make a true happy hour out of it. Purchase a bottle inside CORK and enjoy it at one of our new outdoor tables, accompanied by some delicious cheese, charcuterie and other snacks available in our pantry!
