seARTS Uncorked – The Art of Food & Wine Pairing!
2014 Fall Benefit to be Served Up on October 18
Art lovers and foodies to celebrate with wine, food and music
at Bass Rocks Golf Club to benefit the Cape Ann arts community
Gloucester, MA, September 22, 2014: seARTS will hold its 2014 Fall Benefit on October 18 at the Bass Rocks Golf Club, serving up an evening of wine, food and music — alongside Cape Ann art work — all to support the organization’s efforts on behalf of the region’s arts community.
seARTS Uncorked – The Art of Food & Wine Pairing! will feature a “wine pull” — each ticket to the fundraiser entitles guests to draw two corks and take home two bottles of select wine. In addition, guests that night will be treated to a sampling of food & wine pairings led by Kathleen Erickson of Savour Wine & Cheese. Kathleen holds a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, is a teacher and published author, and has 40 years’ experience in the food and beverage industry, working with Master Chef Rick Bayless and running her own catering service, Ambrosia. As a certified Court of Master Sommelier, Kathleen will present five unique wines that she highly recommends.
seARTS is particularly thrilled to welcome The MERJ, the eclectic, North Shore club cover band, as entertainment for the evening. Led by Roze Tyler-Malone’s electric fiddle, The MERJ performs a bracing mix of the loved and familiar with the new and different – classic rock, country rock, Irish rock, folk rock stirred into a danceable stew. The MERJ is known for the energy, passion and love of pop music that infuses the band.
Bass Rocks Golf Club, home of the seARTS Art Loan program since 2008, will host seARTS Uncorked. At 6:30PM, guests will be able to enjoy a docent tour of the Art@Bass Rocks exhibit with Law Hamilton, noted photographer and one of the show’s jurors. The evening also includes a raffle and art sale of hand-decorated wine bottles, glasses and more. Timothy S. Hopkins Catering will provide gourmet hors d’oeuvres for the wine and food pairing discussion at 7:45PM. The evening peaks with music by The MERJ.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Thanks for posting all of the Community goings on Joey.
I got a kick out of the Article about how wonderful the Russians and Norwegians are at maintaining Their fish stocks.
They were the one’s who helped destroy the U.S. East Coast fish stocks by taking the juvenile Cod and Haddock here.
Great Job Norway and Russia!
