Want to hang out with Global Traveler? Looking for the chance to spend a night at The Westin New York Grand Central, one of New York’s newest and best hotels? Act by Monday, May 5, and you may just have the chance to check both those items off your to-do list.

GT and The Westin New York Grand Central are once again teaming up to host Global Traveler’s annual Wines on the Wing airline wine survey. Each year, airlines around the world send their first- and business-class wines to a blind tasting conducted by Global Traveler. Competition Director Eunice Fried compiles a panel of some of New York’s finest and most well-respected wine experts. While the afternoon blind tasting is closed to the public as the judges score the wines and determine the best wines being served at 30,000 feet worldwide, we host a cocktail reception that evening to give readers and partners a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Wines on the Wing process.

Enter here for your chance to win two invites to our exclusive after-party and a one-night stay at The Westin New York Grand Central. The event will be held Monday, May 19; transportation is not provided to New York City. Entries must be received by May 5 and are subject to complete terms and conditions.

Good luck; we hope to see you at the most exclusive after-party in New York City on May 19!
