RIUNITE WINE SAMPLING: Riunite Wine Sampling Night will be held on Saturday, November 5 when the Crunch take on the Rochester Americans.

Fans 21 and over will have the opportunity to sample Riunite Lambrusco and Riunite D'Oro, America's all-time favorite Italian wine. Sampling will take place beginning at 6:30 p.m. when doors open through the second intermission, outside of Memorial Hall located on the first floor of The Oncenter War Memorial Arena.

Riunite, America's #1 and best-loved Italian wine for over four decades, is the leading source of classic wines from Central Italy's Emilia Romagna Region, home of Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano and balsamic vinegar.

Riunite is most closely identified with the Lambrusco grape, a variety native to central Italy. Lambrusco is said to be one of the oldest grapes in history, one that was first verified by the Etruscans, dating back to before the first century, B.C. When you are drinking Riunite, you are drinking history.

The Crunch's next game is Saturday, November 5 at 7:30 p.m. when they take on I-90 rivals the Rochester Americans at the War Memorial Arena. Both season tickets and single game tickets for the 2011-2012 season can be purchased either in person at the Crunch Box Office located at the War Memorial on 800 South State Street in Syracuse, or by calling the office at (315) 473- 4444.
