Perhaps these are the very reasons that they decided to merge with the importer/distributor instead of simply signing a distribution agreement. You know, those reasons that certain posters could not figure out :)

And these too:

Winery Value

The traditional risk factors and complications of receiving payment for international sales is also another “CGI” advantage. We are your customer. With the standard transit times and customs clearance requirements typically being 45 to 60 days, the needs for financing and Net Terms agreements could end up taking 3-4 months before a winery receives “PIF”. “CGI” pays for every order before it leaves your warehouse or facility.

Price Control is another advantage for “CGI”. From the direct negotiations with our domestic logistics and international freight providers to “CGI” being the licensed International Importer and Customs Clearance Authority, we can control the cost without unnecessary fees or markups all the way to the consumers and customers internationally. This provides our Wineries the assurance that their wines will have all the proper duties, taxes and import registration fees covered and still maintain a competitive pricing advantage in the market through “CGI”.

There are many international distribution companies throughout the world but not one of them have the focus on the California Wine Industry like “CGI”. We are not a broker, distributor, customer, exporter, promoter, wholesaler or retailer. “CGI” is you Partner and we see your success as our success in the Global Wine Market!

Hey Rusty, I would like to get your opinion on why their corporate office is now in Henderson, NV? Aren't these guys supposed to be a California company? Mondavi & other California wine companies do not relocate cities outside their region after mergers?

They do not distribute in the Henderson & Las Vegas area. They do not work with Southern, Wirtz Beverage, or Johnson Brothers in the region, which are the 3 main distributors in the region. Their corporate number is not a Henderson/Vegas phone number (which is an 702 area code). Do you research and you will find that many "false," companies originate in Henderson.

These guys are creatings websites, email addresses, etc...to sell shares, not to grow a company. If anyone with any substance in the industry or in the investment world, believed for one second that this "merger" had any substance to it, you would not have seen the number of share "sells" that you have in the past two weeks and the stock price would not be two clicks away from 0.0000.

Do your self a favor and call people working for respectable wine & distribution companies and you will find out the real story on CPI?
