I went to Uncorked & Unplugged on Tuesday with the wine group. Not only did I get to meet Dezel, but I had a good time.
The wines were okay, nothing stood out as spectacular. The best, in my opinion, was the Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine stood out because it had strong aromas -- smelling of vanilla and berry. Unfortunately, the taste did not match the aromas, it is was good but a bit of a letdown compared to my expectations. A good value for a $13 bottle of wine, but not the best.
The entertainment was great though. Both Mozella and Sierra Swan were excellent and I highly recommend checking them out on iTunes.
I hope the success of events of like this encourages more innovative pairings of wine with cultural events...it makes for a great time. One suggestion I have to the event planners: sell bottles at the event :).

Hello Alan,
Nice event and nice meeting you as well. The performers were very nice and I still enjoy the latter ladies CD at work. Hope Mother Nature acts accordingly on Saturday; have a wonderful time and I look forward to hearing all about it. I’m sure the wine will be much better.
Happy Sipping!
Dezel
