Uncorked the Spot for Jazz, Blues and Roots in Early September

Uncorked, Livingston’s only wine bar, will be extending the summer season into early September by featuring music outdoors when the weather permits. In addition to the finest in local music, we are continuing to offer wine by the glass specials, wine by the bottle and craft beers to accompany delicious cheese plates with charcuterie or vegetables, adding a loaf of crusty french bread makes for a perfect outdoor supper. Or try the ham or turkey sandwiches with the freshest green salad on the side.  The historic portico is a perfect spot to watch the comings and goings of Livingston with a crisp cool glass of wine on a summer evening.
