WINE DOWN AT UNCORKED! THE SEATTLE BOAT SHOW'S OPENING NIGHT EVENT, JANUARY 25

Chardonnay and a Cobalt. Sauvignon Blanc and a SeaRay. Merlot and a Malibu. What do these unusual pairings have in common? They will all be available at Uncorked, Seattle Boat Show’s new Opening Night event at CenturyLink Field Event Center on Friday January 25th, 2013. For the first time in the show’s 66 year history, showgoers will be able to sniff, swirl and sip their way through the Boat Show, tasting a variety of award-winning Washington wines, while soaking in the show and shopping for the boat of their dreams or wandering the three acres of accessories exhibits.  And if that weren’t enough to make for a fabulous, fun evening, there’s also an aerial, acrobatic show to add to the mix.
