HILB GROUP OF NEW ENGLAND (800) 232- 0582 l hilbgroupne.com Rhode Island PBS ~ Uncorked!

Good evening!

This has been such an exciting year at Rhode Island PBS! Not only are we planning to officially merge with The Public’s Radio, forming the largest public media outlet in Southeastern New England, but we are building a media hub that will serve our community with up-to-date news and stories that interest you on whatever platform you like best – YouTube, streaming, broadcast or TikTok. Uncorked! is in its 23rd year and has evolved from an intimate wine tasting and auction to a full-blown gala with all the bells and whistles.

We are honored to have not one but two of the beloved celebrity chefs from America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country with us tonight. I am also delighted that we are featuring our show, ART inc., this evening – do not miss the gallery space presenting work by local artists and craftspeople who have appeared in episodes.

You will also have an opportunity to learn more about our Education Services Department’s efforts to support career exploration opportunities for local high school students. I encourage you to connect with members of our staff and educators from the Woonsocket Area Career and Technical Center in the room tonight to learn more about this impactful work.

I hope you enjoy tonight’s restaurant and beverage offerings as well as a surprise or two. Your support and attendance are instrumental in ensuring Rhode Island PBS stays current and impactful, so on behalf of the board and staff, please accept our heartfelt thank you.

Best Regards,

David W. Piccerelli President

$60 per Cork For $60, choose one of 60 numbered corks for a bottle of fine wine – one of which is a premium bottle of Nickel & Nickel C.C. Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

Nickel & Nickel C.C. Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 FMV $130.00 The 2016 C.C. Ranch Cabernet opens with a harmonious blend of delicate floral and potpourri notes alongside aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and dried herbs. The entry is bright and lively, loaded with spicy red berry flavors and warm, seductive notes of tobacco leaf. The bright, lingering finish is both refreshing and youthful, while firm tannins suggest the wine will only grow more nuanced with extended aging.
