Charity Wines and Charity Hop have teamed with Boston Red Sox
superstars to raise money for their respective charities. For every
bottle sold of these charity wines, $1.25 will be donated to the
charity of the player's choice. Additional proceeds from the sale of
this product also benefit the Major League Baseball Players Trust.

"We're delighted to be working with Tim, Manny, Curt and their
charities," said Andrew Graff, Charity Wines owner and president.
"After a 5 day pre-sell we already have commitments from stores and
restaurants to purchase over 100,000 bottles. And that's just the
beginning."

LAUNCH DATE: Late-May/Early-June 2007

Charity wines are expected to be available to the general public
across New England at liquor stores, restaurants, hotels and at Fenway
Park.

ABOUT CHARITY WINES
After personal tragedies involving friends and family with cancer and
heart disease, Andrew Graff and John Corcoran decided to start Charity
Wines, a philanthropic division of their Massachusetts based company,
VinLozano Imports Inc. With the goal of pairing fine wine with great
charities, the Longball Vineyards brand was born. Visit

Boston philanthropic community. Some of their successes and planned
events include:

ABOUT THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS TRUST
The members of the Major League Baseball Players Association created
the Players Trust, a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation, to provide
resources of caring to those in need by volunteering in causes close
to their hearts and encouraging others to do the same. The foundation
became the first of its kind in professional sports established and
administered by the players.
