     Hampton shoppers enjoyed Black Friday late last week by touring the city for a night of wine tasting during the seventh annual Friday Uncorked.
     Sponsored by the Greater Franklin County Area Chamber of Commerce, the sellout event sent 250 shoppers out on the town with wineglass in hand as they hopped from shop to shop. Sixteen area businesses participated in this year’s event, setting up samples and snacks for the crowd of wine enthusiasts to enjoy as they visited each store.
     With 55 samples of wine to try across the city, there was plenty of tasting, however each store made sure to promote their People’s Choice Award contestant. Every store had a selected wine for tasters to sample and judge for their favorite of the night.
     The winner of the People’s Choice Award will get bragging rights for a year and one lucky voter will receive a gift basket donated by Christensen Jewelry and Fireside Gifts.
