Edible Brooklyn is an appealing, well written and nicely designed magazine for foodies, that is given out free around the Slope. Today they’re throwing a local food and wine party at BAM. Tickets are $50.

Come
join your food community at Edible Brooklyn’s annual local-tasting
soiree. The only place to sample the full suite of Long Island wines,
from austere steel-fermented whites to robust reds to varietal roses,
without getting on the L.I.E.

Based on the sell-out success of
last years inaugural event, and the strong turnout from outer boroughs
(Manhattanites made up half of last years attendees), this year
Brooklyn Uncorked will spill over into the lobby of BAM, making way for
an increased number of wineries, local craft beers and much more food.

Sample
a selection of award-winning Long Island and New York microbrews,
including Blue Point Brewery, Brooklyn Brewery, Heartland Brewery,
Sixpoint Craft Ales, and Southampton Publick House.

In
addition to cheese from Stinky Bklyn and Whole Foods Market, Long
Island potato chips, palate-coolers from Wine Cellar Sorbets, freshly
pressed coffees from Bodum, and natural sodas from Grown-up Soda (GuS),
favorite neighborhood restaurants will be serving up samples, including
Bonita, Flatbush Farm, iCi, La Maison du Couscous, Little D Eatery,
Palo Santo, Smoke Joint, and Stonehome Wine Bar, as well as Great
Performances caterers. Music will be provided by WLIU radio. Glasses

Last year’s event sold out, so reserve your spot now.

The event runs from 4-8 p.m. and tickets to the general public are $50.
