The 8th Annual Keels & Wheels Uncorked event will honor legendary news anchor Dave Ward on Thursday, March 23, 2017 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Mercedes-Benz of Houston Greenway, inside their showroom located at 3900 Southwest Freeway, Houston 77027.
Ward has established himself as the most-watched and beloved Houston newsanchor through his tireless work at ABC-13 over the last 50 years.
Keels & Wheels Uncorked will honor Ward for his community contributions with a gift presentation during the event.
Guests are invited to mingle alongside Ward and Master of Ceremonies Radio Host Sam Malone for an elegant evening of fine wines and exceptional food presented by some of Houston's top restaurants.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to bid on exclusive items in the live and silent auction while viewing several classic automobiles on display.
The participating restaurants are among the most well-known and significant in Houston, including; Amalfi Ristorante Italiano & Bar, Brennan's of Houston, Carmelo's Italian Restaurant, Corner Table, Mister French's Gourmet Bakery and more to be announced.
Participating restaurants are assigned a classic automobile. The chef of each restaurant then selects a specific wine that they believe matches the classic automobile. 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 pairings for the event will not be announced until a later date, but several rare vehicles will be displayed.
The "Uncorked" event will also feature luxury items and experiences in the form of a live and silent auction. Guests can bid on lavish packages including fine wines, spa getaways, hotel and resort stays, dinner certificates, autographed collectibles and much more. Proceeds from both auctions benefit the Boys & Girls Harbor.
This event is made possible with the support from our sponsors City of Seabrook, Bay Area Regional Medical Center and MCM Worldwide.
