The annual Taste of Finer Things — a “pearing” of fine food and fine wine from 17 local chefs — will take place on Wednesday, April 15 at 6:30 p.m. at Harrison’s Harbor Watch in Ocean City, and reservations are now being accepted.
Participating restaurants include Adolfo’s, Atlantic Hotel, Barn 34, Captain’s Table, Crabs to Go, Desserts by Rita, Embers, Harrison’s Harbor Watch, Hooked, Longboard Café, Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill, OC Wasabi, Seacrets, Sunset Grille, Sweet Disposition, Touch of Italy and Wockenfuss.
Lauren Glick and Mike Armstrong will provide entertainment.
“This wonderful evening is a chance for lovers of fine food and fine wine to sample some of the best the Ocean City area has to offer,” Stephanie Meehan, chairperson for the event, said. “The setting overlooking the Ocean City inlet at sunset couldn’t be more perfect, and it’s for a very good cause.”
The event raises funds for the capital campaign to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean, a hospice residence and outreach center that will serve the Lower Shore. Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will be a home for hospice patients who can no longer manage safely at home and will provide outreach programs including community-based palliative care, bereavement support and community education.
Over the years Taste of Finer Things has raised more than $106,000 to fund the campaign to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean.
Reservations are $95 per person and can be made at CoastalHospice.org or by calling 410-641-5481. The event is typically a sellout, so early reservations are encouraged.
The Taste of Finer Things committee members are Meehan, Macky Stansell, Pam Buckley, Karen Cramer, Cathy Donovan, Madalaine How, Marcia Howarth, Elaine Jacobs, Donna Leiner and Gayle Widdowson.
