Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Celebration 2007!


Photography by Joan Heffler ©2007

On Thursday, November 15 over 700 guests gathered at the historic Franklin Plaza in Troy for the annual Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Celebration to benefit the AIDS Council of Northeastern New York. Recognized as one of the most popular charity events in the Capital Region, participants helped raise over $65,000 to support cutting-edge HIV prevention programs and those living with HIV/AIDS in the community.

The AIDS Council is very grateful to the sponsors, restaurants, volunteers, valued donors and participants that made this event a wonderful success. We hope to see you next November to celebrate Beaujolais '08.

Save the Date: Beaujolais 2008 to be held on November 20th at Michael's Banquet House. Come make this wine celebration the biggest and best yet!
