KEELS & WHEELS CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE
HOSTS 9 TH ANNUAL UNCORKED,
Thursday, March 22, 2018, 7-10 PM
Bentley Showroom of Post Oak Motor Cars
1530 West Loop South, Houston 77027
Participating restaurants are assigned a classic automobile
or vintage wooden boat. The chef of each restaurant then
selects a specific wine that they believe matches the classic
automobile or boat. Each chef then prepares a custom
hors d’oeuvre that is paired with the wine to complete the
epicurean experience for attendees to sample.
The “Uncorked” event will also feature luxury items and
experiences in the form of a live and silent auction. Auction
Co-Chairs Patty Peeples Busmire and Karen Deguerin invite
guests to bid on lavish packages including fine wines,
spa getaways, hotel and resort stays, dinner certificates,
autographed collectibles and much more. Proceeds from
the event and both auctions benefit the Boys & Girls
Harbor. This event is made possible with the support from
sponsors City of Seabrook, Bay Area Regional Medical
Center and MCM Worldwide.
The Keels & Wheels Uncorked event was established in
2009 as a means of raising awareness for Keels & Wheels
Concours d’Elegance, which will take place this year on
May 5-6, 2018 at Lakewood Yacht Club in Seabrook, Texas.
Keels & Wheels Uncorked takes place each March prior
to the Spring showcase event and has become one of the
major sources of funding for Boys & Girls Harbor. To date,
Keels & Wheels has assisted in raising more than $1.7
million for its partnering charities.
PRICE:
$100 per person at the door • $75 per person in advance
