Lothantique has triumphed over their competition for years, and we are honored to work with such a storied brand of excellence.  We love them and met them here first!




 Avid readers know that Peachy is a wine enthusiast and loves the Greek wine at Ammos especially.  Ammos is where you should all go eat after you are done with the trade show!
New York Now is smart to have wine pitstops strategically located through the show, and smartest of all is Carla who has it all ready and organized! 
 Everyone knows we love Scotland and we were absolutely delighted to meet owner Jamie McGowan from the Isle of Harris!  Essence of Harris is the most promising new brand-stay tuned!  Unlike lesser UK brands that manufacture elsewhere, Essence of Harris is MADE IN SCOTLAND.
