ALTON – The Junior League of Greater Alton is excited to announce the date of its annual wine, beer and spirits tasting event, “Uncorked & Uncapped,” to run from 6-9 p.m. Saturday, March 12 at the Jacoby Arts Center in Alton.

“Last year, despite a snowstorm, the event was very well attended and supported,” said event chair Abby Lett. “We are excited to host the event again, and are looking forward to an even more successful turnout. It is a wonderful evening, and the proceeds of the event will help fund Junior League’s mission to support women and children in the River Bend area.”

Tickets are $25 per person, which includes tastings of various wines and beers, plus two vouchers to sample spirits. Delicious hors devours will be provided, and a cash bar is also available. Participants must be 21 to attend.
