Pour Richard's countdown to transition begins
via Ann Williams, owner operator of Pour Richard's
"I got into this business because I love wine. And people. Specifically, I love matching up people I like with wines I like. One of the best ways to do that is to open bottles of wine and let people taste for themselves, because there is no better way to take someone out of their 'comfort zone' and get them to try something new.When I envisioned the store, I thought I'd spend time tasting with suppliers (friends), to find products that I'd then sell to customers (friends). I thought I'd throw fun tastings and parties. And for 11+ years, I did exactly that. What I did not ever want to do: spend every waking moment talking to- or attempting to talk to- town officials. Sadly, that is exactly how I spent the last several months. Thankfully, we're done with all that.I am leaving Pour Richard's in the best of hands. I promise you, you will not be disappointed in this transition. I'm not going to disappear just yet, but we are beginning a (long) countdown. For our last few months, we can go back to the way things are supposed to be: a store full of fun products and fun people.
countdown to transition begins
Fun events. Fun tastings. First off, we have Turn the Page: Introducing Corey B, where you can get a glimpse of the future of Pour Richard's. Then we have an All-Portugal event, with Tony & Augusto. Another 'Conversations' tasting, with Brendan Ferguson. And one with Matt Belanger. An Italian thing I'm plotting with George. Maybe a Pennywise, if I can fit it in? And one last blowout anniversary party (12!), scheduled for Saturday, Nov 16.If my time here were a fireworks show, these next several weeks are the grand finale. Stay tuned; we intend to exit in high style."

Pour Richards Celebrates 11 years - Thank you!
spot - (noun) 1. a small round or roundish mark. 2. a particular place or pointeleven - (noun) one more than ten
A little over eleven years ago, I re-arranged my life to prioritize two things: sleeping in my own bed, and selling products I actually liked. Ergo, no more working for distributors and importers. No more constant travel. No more selling 'priority brands'. I would buy a store and sell the wines, spirits, and beer I thought were exceptional. And so Pour Richard's came to be, marking a particular spot in time.
I cannot believe it has been eleven years, but the calendar doesn't lie. And eleven years of a great community is worth celebrating. So mark your calendars! The Eleventh Anniversary Celebration will be Saturday, November 18 from 2-5 PM. Many of my favorite wine and spirits people will be there: Mad River's Maura Conolly, Plus Mike Brehart, Matt Brooks, Matt Bellanger, John Avery, Roger Warner. And more. It will be a superb time to stock up for Thanksgiving. But also just a superb time. Please celebrate with us!
Until then, keep your eyes peeled for other 'spots', specifically spot sales. We'll be posting lots of limited offers via email and social media as a reward for our very fabulous customers.
Thank you for eleven years of patronage. Thank you for trusting us with your beverage needs. Thank you for being part of our community.
Thank you.

Hello everyone!
Over the next couple of months, we are making some changes to the business hours of the Franklin taproom. Starting this week, the taproom will not operate on Thursdays.
The hours for the Wrentham Beer Garden will
remain the same through the end of the season or as long as the weather permits. We will keep you updated on any changes to the taproom hours when the time comes.

"The Cellar" by 67 Degrees Brewing Readies for the Summer at the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets
As microbrewery 67 Degrees Brewing proudly serves the growing crowds at The Cellar by 67 Degrees, the first outdoor beer garden to serve the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets readies for a busy summer. The Franklin-based brewery has a multi-year commitment with Simon Properties to operate the beer garden, which features a retro-fitted shipping container that’s pouring craft brews for shoppers from near and far.
The Cellar pours nine of 67 Degrees’ own beers, two beers from nearby breweries, and three wines from La Cantina Winery. Customers can enjoy its new tropical sour ale “Carmen Says…” Berliner Weiss, which brings banana, mango, and pineapple flavors to Bay State beer lovers, while favorites “Retriever” Golden Ale and “Route 140” New England IPA grow their reputation as crowd-pleasers.
As it prepares for Memorial Day Weekend and unofficial kick-off of summer, The Cellar will host a regular rotation of programming and games to satisfy the growing crowds. In its ongoing effort to support its surrounding community, The Cellar will host its first ever “Pups and Pints”, a puppy adoption open house on May 27. Held in collaboration with Dedham’s Schultz’s Guest House, a portion of beer sales proceeds will benefit the non-profit dog rescue shelter.
One of the fastest growing microbreweries in Massachusetts, 67 Degrees uses local ingredients and time-honored brewing techniques in their craft. The Cellar operates from 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., from Sunday-Thursday and 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Entirely operated by 67 Degrees Brewing staff, the beer garden is located in the center of the shopping complex on Patriot Court. It includes ample parking, accessible facilities, and dining options for all. Interviews with 67 Degrees Brewing are available upon request.

Recycle Your Beer Carriers And Corks at Franklin Liquors
"It’s estimated* that at least 10 million new plastic can carriers are used annually by breweries in Massachusetts, with just 10% of them being collected and re-used, and less than 2% of them ever getting recycled. As a result, the amount of plastic beer packaging waste ending up in landfills each year is enough to fill any of the state’s largest breweries with discarded carriers rather than beer.
Now you can bring them to Franklin Liquors to be reused by local breweries!"
Yes, a local answer to the issue raised in 2021. https://www.franklinmatters.org/2021/05/did-you-know-that-plastic-beer-carriers.html

We also want your corks!!Bring your natural wine corks to Franklin Liquors to be recycled!Recycling your natural wine corks helps replace environmentally harmful, petroleum-based materials in consumer products with a natural, sustainable alternative.Find out which wines use natural cork and which ones don’t.

Franklin Cultural Festival "Community Unity" - photo essay
How does one determine the success of the Franklin Cultural Festival "Community Unity" event held on Sunday, Sep 12, 2021 in great weather.
 |
| Kaye Kelly and group at the end of the "Sari Showcase" |
- The crowd and lines were steady from the opening at noon through 3:30 or so. Some may have decided to check out the sports event on TV. For those that remained, salsa lessons and great music continued.
 |
| the wise owl greeted young and young at heart |
- The variety and number of food trucks. Could there have been more, yes, if the food truck owners had followed through. For those who ran out of food early, maybe they'll be better prepared next time. For those trucks that didn't participate, their missed opportunity. It is a great start.
 |
| Eguie Castrillo & Mar del Norte Salsa Orchestra |
- The Kid's corner and puppet shows were pleasing based upon the hoots and hollers from those watching the show.
 |
| some of the crowd at the second puppet show |
- The line up of artisan crafters was multifaceted. Many of the booths reported good business from the great amount of traffic.
 |
| The Pamela Means Project performed |
- The beer and wine garden was busy when I stopped by. Got my wrist band after getting my license checked. Then some liquid refreshment to go with my food truck tacos on the lawn in the shade. I was not alone. Dozens of others were under the tent at tables or spread around the lawn as well.
 |
| two chicken tacos were delicious |
- Cultural diversity was achieved with one view of the salsa dance lessons. Participants spread among the ages from young to young at heart, mostly women (but a few men). A youngster with a Patriots jersey learning the salsa inline with a couple of young ladies wearing saris.
 |
| salsa dance lessons lead by RI Dance |
At least for this day, the smiling faces seemed to be enjoying the art based event. Let's work together for more of this. And yes, Franklin Matters is proud to be in good company in helping to sponsor this event.
Additional photos from the event can be found in one album
