 Spring is here! It's time to celebrate after a long winter. Bring out the grills, gather with family and friends and enjoy what the season has to offer! We're still looking forward to nicer weather and warmer temperatures so that as families get together for Mother's Day and Memorial Day, we not only remember the meaning of these holidays, but we also use them as our kick-off to summer.
Speaking of celebrating, I want to congratulate one of our longtime, loyal customers, Doughty's Island Market on Chebeague Island who are celebrating their 50th year in business! Congratulations from all of us at National Distributors. We hope to continue our great business relationship another 50 years.
On another note, May 16th through the May 22nd is American Craft Brewer's Week. Celebrate this week at each of our retail accounts who feature many of our craft beers and ales.
As for the upcoming summer season we want to welcome all of our old, along with our new, seasonal accounts who are preparing themselves for a great summer season. We will partner with them by providing them with an excellent portfolio of products to help make their summer season a success.
As stated in the past, if you're a retailer reading this newsletter, we look forward to our partnership moving into the summer months. If you're a consumer reading this newsletter, support your local retailer and try some of our new products. You'll be glad you did!
As always, if there are any issues with our products or our performance levels, feel free to contact me through the contact us page on our website.
We look forward to our continued business relationship (and a forever improving Red Sox record).

Treana White (2008 vintage), a product of the Hope Family Wine portfolio, is a white wine that has a lot to offer the wine connoisseur. Though not rated, this wine has floral aromatics, intense fruit flavors, overtones of honey and a particularly lush mouthfeel. There's enough bright fruit to drink this wine right now, but enough acidity and minerality for Treana White to develop with age in the bottle - not a common trait among California white wines. Effective May 1st, this 6 bottle case is available at a reduced price point adding to it's overall drinking value.
