Young Professionals - Wine Tasting and Silent Auction Benefit September 28, 2006

$45 for YPNYC members / $55 for non-members

Subway Directions: A,B,C,D to 116th St. & Frederick Douglass Blvd (8th Ave.) or 2,3 to 125th St. & Lenox Ave. (6th Ave.)

Join other young professionals and explore the exquisite wines of South Africa at Harlem Vintage, one of New York City’s premiere vintners. Featured in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, Harlem Vintage is a unique wine experience which boasts one of the largest selections of black and ethnic-owned wines in the United States. Proceeds will benefit the Student Sponsorship Programme (SSP) in South Africa , a non-profit 501c3 organization which addresses post-Apartheid educational disparities by providing scholarships and mentorships to low-income primary school students, helping them attend South Africa’s best high schools.

The evening will feature hors d’oeuvres, a sampling of South Africa’s unique grapes, and a silent auction. This is a wonderful opportunity to mingle with other young professionals while supporting a worthy cause.
