UNCORKED! 2011 "A Night of Mystery"

One of my most favorite events is Monday—Uncorked! 2011. The theme this year? A Night of Mystery. (I'll never forget the year the theme was fire and ice and one of the tables had two very attractive fire people standing amongst the dishes.) The night starts with a cocktail hour and silent auction, followed by a three-course wine dinner and an after party featuring Entertainment Exchange's band Free Spirit. But the best part? The amazing tablescapes. Each year the room just takes my breath away with its creativity and wow-factor. Proceeds benefit the Baltimore Chapter of NACE, the Foundation of NACE, and Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland. The event is Monday from 5:30-10 at the American Visionary Art Museum at 800 Key Highway. Tickets are $150 for non-NACE members—and well worth it.—JED
