Busy Busy Bee

Things are going great! After the announcement by Wine & Spirits magazine that our 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (91 points) was selected as a "Top 100 Best Wine Buy" of the year, we are getting inundated with distributors wanting to represent us. I just want anyone reading this to know that we are appreciative of all the inquiries and please note that we are doing due diligence to make sure that we partner with distributors that understand what it takes to grow a family owned quality wine producing company. We strongly believe in developing relationships with our distributors that are mutually beneficial, long lasting and supportive. The true meaning of partnership. With that being said, I'm proud to announce that the following distributors have been assigned in the east:

North Carolina:
Empire Distributors for the Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington and Asheville markets.
Empire is a family owned distributor. Check out their website at www.empiredist.com

South Carolina:
Southern Wine & Spirits of South Carolina.
SWS is the largest distributor of Wine & Spirits in the country. We are proud to be associated with the fine folks in South Carolina, visit their website at http://www.southernwine.com/OfficesNationwide/SouthCarolina/SCHome/tabid/196/Default.aspx

West Virginia:
Well last week I put 1200 miles on the 4runner but the trip was well worth it, We assigned the brand to Atomic Distributing in Huntington, WV and Beverage Distributors in Clarksburg. Thanks to Robbie Phipps at Atomic and Jim Iaquinta at Beverage Distributors for believing in us.

There are quite a few more irons in the fire so to speak as we continue to evaluate the markets of DC, Maryland, Texas, Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama and Colorado.

Be patient, we will be in your market soon. The demand for the wines has been tremendous.
