Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had a great start to 2009.

Things slowed down toward the end of 2008 but now we are back. Recently I’ve received a lot of emails asking me what’s going on with our sangria. So here an update…

- We have received all the state and federal approvals/licenses we need to make and distribute our sangria

- All design work is complete

- Labels are being printed as we speak

- We are currently working on marketing material

- If all goes well our first production run should occur very early in February

Overall we’ve had 2 issues come up that have severely delayed our progress. As many of you know our original goal was to have our sangria on the market this past summer. That sure didn’t happen. With those issues behind us we will be ready for the summer of 2009. Even though it is cold and many people would prefer a hot chocolate over a refreshing glass of sangria we are going to hit the streets.

We still have some major hurdles ahead of us and we’ll need your help. Once we are on the market we’ll need for everyone to march down to their local liquor store and ask for our product. I’ll be sure to let you know when to start.
