Rhode Island PBS and The Public’ s Radio hosted Uncorking the Future, an annual culinary and wine event, at the WaterFire Arts Center in Providence. The guest list included PBS chef Mary Ann Esposito along with some of Rhode Island’ s most prominent names, all of whom enjoyed small bites, beverage samples and live music by The Whelks. This event is the organization’ s largest fundraiser and celebrated the merger of Rhode Island PBS and The Public’ s Radio, a partnership now under the name Ocean State Media.— JUSTIN THERIAULT
