      <description>&lt;p&gt;Carlos &amp;amp; Pamela Pe&amp;ntilde;a have joined the team to Uncork for a Cause with the release of a very limited production of Carlos Pe&amp;ntilde;a red wine from Napa Valley, California.&amp;nbsp; Net proceeds from the sale of this wine will benefit the families of fallen Tampa officers David Curtis and Jeffrey Kocab through the Curtis-Kocab Memorial Fund.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 29, 2010, Officer David Curtis pulled over a vehicle for a seemingly routine traffic stop; Officer Jeffrey Kocab arrived shortly after as backup. The next communication was a 911 call reporting two officers shot. Paramedics rushed both officers to Tampa General Hospital where they passed away later that morning. Officer Curtis is survived by his wife Kelly and four sons; Officer Kocab is survived by his wife Sara.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Carlos Pe&amp;ntilde;a&amp;rsquo;s wine will be released during a public event hosted by Fleming&amp;rsquo;s Prime Steakhouse &amp;amp; Wine Bar, the exclusive Tampa location for this wine, on Sunday September 26, 2010 at 6:00 PM. Please join the Pe&amp;ntilde;a&amp;rsquo;s and their special guests for an evening complete with the first uncorking of Carlos&amp;rsquo; wine, hors d&amp;rsquo;Oeuvres from Fleming&amp;rsquo;s Prime Steakhouse, wine tasting, silent auction items, a few surprise guests, and an opportunity to say thank you to those who put their lives in danger every day: members of the Tampa Police Department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limited to only 150 guests, the $50 admission includes a fantastic menu featuring Tenderloin Crostini&amp;rsquo;s, Chilled Jumbo Shrimp, Selection of Artisanal Cheese, Beef Satay and Mini Crab Cakes, a selection of fine wines and beverages. Carlos Pe&amp;ntilde;a wine will be offered for sale and the price includes a personalized autograph. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are unable to attend, proceeds from online orders of Carlos&amp;rsquo; wine will also benefit the foundation. Online orders will be autographed by Carlos and shipped after the event.&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>The Curtis - Kocab Memorial Fund</title>
      <link>http://www.uncorkforacause.com/articles/show/41</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;On June 29, 2010 at 2:15 a.m., Officer David Curtis attempted to pull over a vehicle with no license plate. Officer Curtis determined the passenger was wanted on a worthless check warrant out of Jacksonville. He called for backup and Officer Jeffrey Kocab arrived. Together they approached the suspect's vehicle on the passenger side. The next communication came from a citizen calling 911 to report two officers were shot. The first responding officers found Officer Curtis and Officer Kocab on the ground and immediately began CPR. Paramedics transported both officers to Tampa General Hospital. Officer Kocab was pronounced dead shortly after arrival to the hospital. Doctors put Officer Curtis on life support. He was pronounced dead later in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Officer Curtis is survived by his wife Kelly and four sons; Officer Kocab is survived by his wife Sara.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Join Greg Maddux and Butch Harmon as they host the 9th annual Maddux Harmon 		Celebrity Invitational, October 24-26, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This exclusive golf invitation offers you the chance to come to Las Vegas and join us, along with other celebrities 		for a fun weekend filled with golf and entertainment. Quite simply, this is a chance to experience the finest 		entertainment that Las Vegas has to offer. The Venetian, the host hotel for the Maddux Harmon Celebrity Invitational, 		sits in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip and offers luxurious rooms with a world class spa. The host golf course, 		Spanish Trail Golf and Country Club, was founded in 1984 and is one of the oldest clubs in Las Vegas. The legendary 		golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. personally designed an extraordinary 27-hole golf course - the 		emerald-green centerpiece of the Club.  Tree-lined fairways, undulating hills, 15 lakes with streams and waterfalls, 		120 bunkers, and sweeping mountain vistas create a golf experience like no other. 		&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most importantly, this October weekend will be about raising money for those in need. As we enter into the ninth year 		of this tournament, we are proud to continually help the chosen charities who benefit from this event.
