Forum 35’s Uncorked charity event returns next Thursday

Forum 35’s Uncorked is the organization’s wine tasting charity event series, and the Aug. 3 event focuses on all things bubbly.

Teams of one to three attendees will bring three bottles of the same sparkling wine. Two of those bottles will be tasted and scored in a blind wine tasting, and the third bottle will join the event’s prize lot. The team with the highest scoring wines in the tasting wins the prize lot—except, of course, the lowest scoring wine, which must be brought home by the team who brought it.

Proceeds from this event benefit Kids’ Orchestra, an after-school music program for children. This organization offers music education in schools that do not have band or choir programs, as well as tutoring, homework help and healthy snack services. Kids’ Orchestra is for families of all income levels, providing instruments and music education to children who normally would not be able to afford them.

So, bring some friends and three bottles of chilled bubbly to Varsity Theatre (3353 Highland Road) to support Kids’ Orchestra. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m., and advance tickets are $30. Tickets can also be purchased at the event for $35. Register your team online or at the door. The team with the best name will receive a prize. This event is for ages 21 and older.
