** All attendees of the event will also be entered in a free raffle for prizes; top prize: $300 good toward Unity convention registration/travel costs. **

** Food/wine journalists wishing to cover the event: please e-mail AAJA-NY board member Roger Chang at roger.chang@ny1news.com to be added to the press list -- most of the wines will be brand new and many have special stories behind them.

Join AAJA members including WNBC-TV investigative reporter Ti-Hua Chang, WCBS-TV reporter Arthur Chi'en at this unique event.

Ron Kapon, a leading wine educator and co-founder of The Tasters Guild New York (http://www.tastersguildny.com/byob.shtml) will introduce you to several brand-new wines from California, Italy and France.

Mr. Kapon will discuss several flights of debut wines in a presentation designed for the novice and the connoisseur. Mr. Kapon's tasting will be fun and informative even if you already know your Gewurztraminer from your Sangiovese. Unlike other professional wine tastings, which can cost $100 or more, this special event costs just $40 for AAJA members and $55 for non-members and all proceeds will go to AAJA-NY High School Scholarship Program.
