Food + Wine + America's Test Kitchen = Fun!

Join us April 12 at 7 p.m. for An Evening Uncorked!  

Meet and mingle with America's Test Kitchen chefs Bridget Lancaster and Julia Collin Davison. We're so excited to have Bridget and Julia as our special guests! Many of you tell us that America's Test Kitchen is one of your favorite shows, so here's a great chance to meet two of the show's chefs.

          

We also invite you raise a glass to Susan L. Farmer, WSBE general manager and president for 17 years. Susan's devotion to public television and Rhode Island PBS in particular is as legendary as her strand of pearls.

Of course, the evening revolves around the food and beverage stations that ring the spacious Pawtucket Armory Drill Hall (172 Exchange Street, in downtown Pawtucket, RI, near Pawtucket City Hall).

Chefs from 17 top food establishments will prepare small bites just for this event. Between the food stations, carefully chosen wines from leading domestic and international vineyards as well as private cellars will be poured for tasting. Two local craft breweries will also present their beers.

Truly a feast for all the senses, An Evening Uncorked! is a riot of colors, textures, aromas, flavors, and sounds, and wines to please the novice, the enthusiast, and the connoissuer. Where else can "foodies" savor dishes by all of these chefs and beverage purveyors under one roof?

The fun and frolic doesn't stop with food, wine, and public television celebrities. No, celebrities of the cartoon persuasion will also make an appearance - Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat will be walking around, too.

Don't miss the Smashing Photos booth to capture your fun time.

And tap your toes to the tunes of the Original Jelly Roll Soul.

The evening culminates in a lively live auction of select boutique and collectable wines, gifts, and novel dining and travel experiences. Silent auction will be open during the food and wine tasting.

Tickets to An Evening Uncorked! are a bargain at $85 per person and must be purchased in advance. Proceeds benefit WSBE Rhode Island PBS, to support excellent local television content.

Attention: Foodies!

Saturday, April 27, presents a "shouldn't miss" event for foodies to sample succulent gourmet dishes prepared by chefs from some of New England's finest restaurants. To sweeten the deal and tingle the palette, the dishes - created just for this event - are paired with wines from international and domestic vineyards - all under one roof, and all at one reasonable donation. 

The event is An Evening Uncorked! and will be held at the Pawtucket Armory, 172 Exchange Street in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The Champagne and raw bar reception at 6 p.m. is sold out, sorry, but the epicurean tour begins at 7 p.m. (Better get your tickets now!)

The 11 participating restaurants are Blaze East Side Restaurant, The Capital Grille, Cinderella Restaurant, David Burke Prime Steakhouse, Eleven Forty Nine Restaurant, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, Just Ellen's, Inc., LaSalle Bakery, Pane e Vino Ristorante, Pot Au Feu, and Trafford Restaurant. The wines will be poured by MS Walker, Rhode Island Distributing Company, LLC, and provided by private donors; craft beer is courtesy of McLaughlin & Moran, Inc. Is your mouth watering yet?

The video below uses footage taken at last year's An Evening Uncorked! event. What a great time it was. We're looking forward to another great event this year. Richard Carbotti of Perfect Surroundings is decorating the Armory, so you know everything will look and feel glorious. 

Great food, fine wine, enchanted setting... Bring your friends and come make new ones - and part of the proceeds of your $100 ticket helps support the quality local and national programming on WSBE Rhode Island PBS. What's not to love about this?

The only thing that could be missing is you, if you don't get your ticket in time. So, what are you waiting for?
