| UNCORKED A GREAT SUCCESS | |
 80 guests enjoyed a world class meal accompanied by phenomenal wines at unCorked on April 14th at The Tides Inn. The delicious four-course meal, prepared by award winning Chef TV Flynn, was a culinary delight enhanced by the wines of Elizabeth Spencer Wines of Rutherford, CA. Owners Elizabeth Pressler and Spencer Graham, who flew out to be a part of the event and help tell the Y's story, added to the success of the evening by donating all of the dinner wines.
Over $33,000 was raised for youth programs including 2nd grade swim lessons, soccer, basketball and many more.
A preview party was hosted by Specials, Ltd. the night before unCorked. The successful evening would not have been possible without the involvement of Specials and Specials Wine Seller in Kilmarnock.
