Well since the r/m i have seen a fair bit of good news from the company and also have seen an upward movement in pps.

I agree that they need to deliver the shares to you and others, but you are no investor here. You bought the shares to take advantage of a loophole on the reverse split and nothing more. To you, the company is selling widgets. Get your 100 shares and sell them and go look for another RS deal.
Don't put yourself off as high and mighty calling the company dishonest about anything. lol
This company should fulfill it's promise of the 100 shares to us, if they want us to trust them and invest more.
I would hold my 100 shares.
But I would never consider buying any more until the company lives up to it's first promise. Starting out by being dishonest with investors, on it's public debut, is not a good sign.
Well all please do some dd on this before you sell your 100 shares or whatever you hold.IMO this company is big and will be huge.
glta
Let me know i will buy them lol to add to my 2000 shares
Still .................. waiting.......................
still waiting on mine as well
Still have not received my 100 shares as a result of NPSC RS. Anyone else ? tia
This was announced a few days before BVYH came public. I would guess they re-issue a PR to create extra buzz.

Brunton Vineyards Acquires VinoVenue
Plans to Expand and Diversify the Wine Company’s Portfolio of Operations Worldwide
San Francisco, CA, February 14, 2007 --(PR.COM)-- Brunton Vineyards (OTC: BVYH.PK), a San Francisco / Napa-based wine company that develops, manufactures and markets wine beverages and products, today announced that it has acquired the San Francisco based wine lounge, VinoVenue ("VV") business owned by Know Wining, LLC (the "Sellers"), which have had the successful retail operation in the Bay area for the past three years. Brunton Vineyards intends to expand VinoVenue in the US market to 90 locations within 66 targeted cities and has put the funding in place to execute the expansion plan fully within two years.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Brunton Vineyards has paid the Sellers an acquisition consideration in cash, with no shares in the publicly traded parent company, Brunton Vineyards Holdings, Inc (BVYH). Mr. Brian McGonigle, President of Brunton Vineyards comments, "We are truly excited to build and grow VinoVenue into the premier wine bar & lounge in San Francisco and beyond. Our mission will be to build on VinoVenue's success and offer our guests an unparalleled wine and social experience. Our goal is to create a fun and inviting wine experience that can also be the center for interactive wine education in each market we serve."
VinoVenue is known in San Francisco as, “The Place to Taste” and experience wine, earning a reputation as a tasting room, retail shop and wine lounge all wrapped up in one. More than 100 wines from California and around the world are featured, carefully selected by the VinoVenue staff with an emphasis on small production, family-owned, high quality wines at varying price points.
VinoVenue stretches the traditional wine bar and retail store boundaries by offering guests a new concept for tasting and buying wines. Guests can serve themselves by purchasing a VinoVenue tasting card (like a debit card), inserting it into the automated wine tasting stations, selecting a wine and receiving a 1 oz. pour. Individually priced pours of more than 100 wines sourced from wineries around the globe range from $1 to $40. “We took VinoVenue as far as we could and have every confidence that Brunton Vineyards will be able to take VinoVenue to the next level. We couldn't have asked for a better buyer to carry on our dream,” commented Mary Lynn Slattery and Nancy Rowland, founders and former owners of VinoVenue.
The "try-before-you buy" model enables customers to make informed decisions before buying a bottle of wine. The wine lounge also allows wine lovers to taste wine that they ordinarily would not be able to taste, such as a $200 bottle of Amuse Bouche or Le Macchiole Messorio, or a $450 bottle of Chateau Lafite. Guests move freely about the elegantly designed tasting space visiting the many wine stations where they can compare different wines from places around the world or experiment with wines they have never heard of before.
Brunton Vineyards believes that there is a compelling opportunity to address this large unmet need in the US and around the world by developing wine lounges as environments that one can go into, lounge and taste wine with friends and family in an intimate, upscale setting. "With VinoVenue, we believe we will be well positioned to become a leading company in the wine industry, as it pertains to the retail space," said Mr. Geno Brunton, Chairman and CEO of Brunton Vineyards. Mr. Brunton continued, "Acquiring VinoVenue and expanding it worldwide will further strengthen our position in the global wine market by adding a portfolio of new wine products that are distributed through our retail outlets. With the addition of VinoVenue, we believe we will be able to effectively offer the best possible array of wines in an attractive, inviting environment that is not currently available to the average wine lover. We expect this to complement our existing asset base in a very positive way."
The transaction is not subject to regulatory approvals. VinoVenue becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Brunton Vineyards, Inc.
