Greetings!
Well if you didn't think that winter had arrived when you received our last newsletter, I can assure you that Mother Nature has made a statement that winter arrived. The loads of snow this week produced some fairly challenging road conditions, but excellent conditions for
winter activities this weekend.
The good news is that winter is almost half over and the amount of daylight is increasing each day. As a company, we are gearing up to give you a new array of products that we feel will be "winners" for us, our retail customers and the consumer. Examples of these products are in this month's featured product section.
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the winter. As always, if there are any issues with our products or our performance levels, feel free to contact me through the "Contacts" page of our website.
We look forward to our continued business relationship. Have a safe winter.

Wine Review of the Month:
PUYDEVAL from Hand Picked Selections
Review: Receiving between 87-90 points over the past three years from "The Wine Advocate," the Puydeval 2009 Rouge is big, rich, concentrated and intense. It's a ripe, polished and well-balanced wine, offering spicy aromas of black cherry and blackberry, with hints of anise and just a touch of earthy character. Being a truly original red, it will complement most meals.
