COMPANY BIO:

Boca Wine Imports, Inc. (hereafter a.k.a, BWII) was established in early 2003 by a successful Certified Public Accountant, Humberto E. Ruiz. Humberto is a passionate wine and food enthusiast who, by way of numerous conversations with many of his clients, many of whom are restaurant owners, was convinced to take the next step in his long love affair with wine. Very quickly, Humberto was in possession of his two Licenses for import and distribution, named Boca Wine Imports, Inc.

Born in Spain, it was only natural for Humberto to focus his attention on the wines of Spain. No one can deny the extraordinary developments that have taken place, and continue to take place, in Spain's influence on the rest of the world with respect to both food and wine. Long forgotten vineyards and uninspired winemaking have been replaced with a new generation of landowners and enologists, only to enthusiastic and proud to embrace the concept of crafting high quality wines from their indigenous grape varieties.

Almost simultaneously, which we now like to call "Serendipitously", to receiving his Licenses, Humberto was introduced to a veteran wine industry professional who had extensive experience with Spanish wines, and who was interested in assisting him with the development of his newly formed import company.

The result is an exciting new Import Company that is dedicated to searching out the very best that Spain has to offer. Whether the wines are from well known, existing Denominations of Origin, or from new Denominations of Origin that are receiving greater international exposure and increasing in quality. Our philosophy is to choose wines that faithfully represent the grape variety as well as respect the region where they are grown. In addition, we select only wines that meet our criteria of price versus quality, and all of the wines that we represent are Estate grown and bottled.

Our portfolio, while still a work in progress, currently offers a variety of red, white, rosado and sparkling wines. Currently we represent 8 estates, 19 still wines, 2 sparkling wines (Cava) and 4 distilled spirits (Orujos which is the Spanish Grappa).

BODEGA: VITIS TERRARUM COUNTRY: SPAIN REGION: VINO DE LA TIERRA DE CASTILLA, LA MANCHA WINE: VITIS TERRARUM VARIETIES GROWN: TEMPRANILLO

SOIL: Our vines are planted in soil classified as "sandy-clay loam", which is the best type for these vines. The sand content of the soil is approximately 70% and the clay content around 20%. The soil is fairly alkaline, with a pH of around 7.8. It contains less than 1% organic matter, and the salt level is almost non-existent.

ORIENTATION: The vines are planted in rows going from north to south, ensuring that they receive sunlight throughout the whole day.

CLIMATE: The climate is purely continental, marked by cold winters and hot summers. In winter the lows can reach -8º C (18º F), while the highs in the summer are around 40º C (104º F).

RAINFALL: The average annual rainfall is 440mm.

WINEMAKING PROCESS: In the winery we begin the winemaking process by removing the central stem ("raspón") from the bunch of grapes. This process causes a minimal amount of breakage to the skin of each grape. The grapes are not pressed at all. We consider this to be of great benefit because the seeds are not pressed, which would cause them to release their bitter, grassy tannins. There is also no need for any filtering or stabilization of our wine. The maceration takes place in a stainless steel tank, which is temperature controlled, with the pulp and skin together. This process is similar to a carbonic maceration, but is not exactly because we do not carry out the maceration with the central stem of the bunch attached, as is the case with a true carbonic maceration. We do add some natural, indigenous yeast to better control the fermentation process. For each fermentation we use a maximum of 15,000 kilos of grapes. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine undergoes a malolactic fermentation before being aged for 12 months in the highest quality French oak casks from the Allier forest. Finally, the wine is aged for a further 12 months in the bottle in our climate controlled aging cellar.

BODEGA: BODEGA MUNOZ COUNTRY: SPAIN REGION: LA MANCHA, TOLEDO WINE: “RESERVA FAMILIA”, CABERNET SAUVIGNON, MERLOT, GARNACHA VARIETIES GROWN: CABERNET SAUVIGNON, MERLOT, GARNACHA, TEMPRANILLO

This Bodega is very old and owns a large amount of vineyard property in Central Spain in the D.O. of La Mancha. The goal of Bodega Munoz is to produce varietal wines for the larger, volume oriented market of everyday wines. However, this does not mean that they ignore their vineyards or grow as much fruit as possible, quite the contrary, the Bodega is extremely hands on and attentive to all aspects of growing and production. In fact, the aim of this Bodega remains that of producing wines in a traditional manner with only the necessary methods of modern winemaking such as, temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, for quality control. Very little wood is used, if any, to age their wines, in order to preserve the varietal character of the wines. The result is easy drinking, but with substantial body, texture and finish. These wines are perfect for “By The Glass,” and high volume retail slots.

BODEGA: VINA MAMBRILLA COUNTRY: SPAIN REGION: RIBERA DEL DEURO, CASTREJON WINE: ALIDIS VARIETIES GROWN: TEMPRANILLO

HISTORY:

Mambrilla the village of Mambrilla de Castrejon, in the province of Burgos, Spain, has it’s origins in the Middle Ages., having been founded during the peace of the second half of the 11th Century. Its historical name, Mambrilla, comes from one the nearby hills to the north, La Mamla. The second part of its name, Castrejon, comes from another nearby hill, the Santa Maria, which is crowned by a castle, or “Castro.”

The agrarian repopulation taking place at the time, although weakened by the Catholic Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, ran parallel to an increase in the number of inhabitants. People move out of the castle, where ceramics of that period can still be found, and settle on the fertile banks of the neighboring springs. Here, Romanesque is to leave its mark in the local church and hermitages known as the “Humiliadero” and the “Castrejona.” Columns in the classic style still support the portico of the latter. They are witnesses who did not give in to the strength of the Late Gothic, nor the Salomonic appearance of the altarpieces adorned with the green tendrils and golden clusters of grapes.

The residents of Mambrilla have been growing grapes since the very beginning. Wine, hunting, and the wild bulls were their main sources of wealth. Grapevines covered most of the cultivated land until the Phyloxera plague at the end of the 19th Century savagely did away with a large part of the vineyards.

Paroqial documents dating back to the 16th Century mention tithes consisting of the fine wine made in the wineries surrounding the town. The surname “Arranz” appears as early as that century and it continues to figure among the 113 inhabitants of Mambrilla documented in 1788, and among the 170 that live in the village in 1900. At the end of the 20th Century, “Vina Mambrilla” still reflects the tradition of its ancestors. “Primitivo” is the father of the new generation of the Arranz Brothers, who have always made their wines with the utmost care and attention.

HARVEST AND METHODS:

Following a very careful harvest using purely traditional methods, the grapes are received at the winery, where they undergo a rigorous selection process. The selection criteria include the grade and age of the vine, and whether the grapes are for young or aged wines.

The stalks are removed before fermentation begins, and the results are wines that are very suitable for long periods of aging.

VINIFICATION:

During fermentation, the must in the lower part mingles with that in the upper part, while at the same time, the temperature remains constant. All of this is to assure that the process takes place with maximum homogeny, so that none of the aromas naturally present in the must are lost.

When fermentation has finished, the wine is filtered, once the solid matter has been removed, the wine is placed in storage tanks, where it is subject to quality control. The winery uses modern stainless steel tanks, as well as the most recent filtering systems and cold stabilization methods.

BODEGA: GARCIA BURGOS COUNTRY: SPAIN REGION: NAVARRE, RIBERA BAJA, MUCHANTE WINE: VENDIMIA SELECCIONADA VARIETIES GROWN: CABERNET SAUVIGNON, TEMPRANILLO

PRESENTATION &AIMS:

Bodegas García Burgos is a recently created winery, thanks to the initiative of three vine-growers from the region of Ribera Baja. It produces wine of the Navarre denomination of origin. The main feature of this new winery is its aim to produce top of the range, high added- value red wines of the very best quality, using traditional methods and with limited production. The aim of the winery is to obtain a wine with personality and the highest expression, – the result of thorough grape selection and the most careful methods of vine-growing, harvesting, vinification and aging. We can guarantee the final quality of our wines since we strictly follow the whole process necessary for achieving such quality, from the pruning of the vines right through to vinification and aging.

LOCATION:

The winery is on an estate called “Cantera Santa Ana”, in the town of Murchante, to the south of Navarre. It is surrounded by 30 hectares of vineyards of different ages growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tempranillo grape varieties. The Tempranillo variety vines are trained in both the traditional head training and also on trellis. In addition to these vineyards, the winery owns a further ten hectares of vines growing the Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo grape varieties. The lands where these vineyards are situated are noted for their poor soil, low rainfall (about 400 millimetres a year) and their proximity to Mount Moncayo. This gives a special advantage to this area during the maturing process: the difference in temperature during the day and the night in the middle of August, which enhances grape quality. A very extreme winter and summer climate (apart from the difference in temperature already mentioned) provides the many hours of cold necessary for the vine, and makes this region ideal for vine growing as well as conducive to an annual grape harvest of consistent quality.

! 9 !9

Page 10: Boca Wine Imports

! METHODS:

The winery owns 40 acres of vineyards of the varieties already mentioned. From these, we select the vines best suited to our objectives: the older ones (between 20 and 30 years old), which have a low yield (between 4,000 and 5,000 kg./ha) provide us with what we call our first selection.

Approximately 10% of the grapes grown are used for making our wine. In order to obtain healthy grapes of the very best quality, we use a combination of traditional methods of the region and new techniques when tending to our vineyards. So, all year round, the vines are kept free from weeds, and the utmost is done to avoid plague damage. Similarly, systematic or late-in the-season plague treatment is avoided and if it has to be used is done so with as wide a safety margin as possible. In addition we make sure that reasonable, moderate fertilizers are used and two green prunings are carried out depending on the season, until the second generation grape is released, approximately one month before harvesting. That is our second selection. We have specialized personnel for all these tasks, some of whom have been with us for over thirty years and what is more are second generation. They have perfect knowledge of the features of each plot of land in the vineyards.

HARVEST:

Grape picking is done by hand, using boxes of no more than 15 kg, so the grapes are handled as delicately as possible. We take steps to ensure that the grapes do not remain much time in the field after being cut - an hour, at most; hence the reason for loading them on to 28-box capacity pallets. This is when our third selection takes place, since, during picking, the bunches which, in the opinion of the pickers, are not in the best condition, are left on the stalks. All the grapes that are cut and selected in this way in the field are checked again when they get to the winery, since each box is emptied on to a selection table, where the leaves and any element foreign to the grape (vine shoots, etc.) are removed, along with grapes in poor condition. This is designed to offset any possible bad side-effects during wine-making. Fourth selection.

We have technicians of proven experience and professional skills working on the vinification process. They advise us on new vine-growing techniques as well as on the purchase of the necessary equipment for wine-making.

VINIFICATION:

In order to secure the maximum extraction from each grape, during our vinification process we use small, 10,000 litre stainless steel vats, of virtually equal height and width. These have the necessary cooling jackets for controlled fermentation. The rest of the machines have been chosen in keeping with the parameters necessary for maximum quality and the delicate treatment of grapes and wine.

! 10 !10

Page 11: Boca Wine Imports

During vinification, cold pre-fermentations are followed by cap plunging and lengthy macerations. Subsequent fermentation is carried out at a temperature of between 28 and 30º. After drawing off we only work with free-run wine; we do not subsequently press the grapes. Malolactic fermentation is then carried out in casks.

!

CRIANZA: We have carefully chosen 60 new casks. 45 of them are French allier oak and the remaining 15 American oak.

1. In oak barrels.

The Crianza of our wines are carried out in French Allier and American 225 ltr. oak barrels. The proportion is 75% French and 25% American. For our special selection, we let the wine ferment in the same barrel where the crianza takes place. The barrels are renewed every year. During this process, which takes at least 6 months, wine is regulary controlled and tasted, until our experts consider it ready for bottling.

2. Bottled.

Once bottled, wine lies in our bodega under optimal climatic conditions. During the complete process of the Crianza, the evolution of wine is constantly controlled until we consider it is the best moment to bring it out to market.

"Ennoble" is the term specialist’s use for the traditional action of grafting the stock with the different varieties of grape. This action, which in the 19th century saved the wine from the ravage of phylloxera, gave rise to the rich vineyards of today in the Penedès region. The term has a special significance at Cavas Hill. The company dates back to the 17th Century, when an English emigrant -Joseph Hill- started to work the wines of the "El Maset" country estate.

! 12 !12

Page 13: Boca Wine Imports

Generation upon generation of his descendants carried on the family tradition, until 1887, over 100 years ago now, when Cavas Hill was incorporated as a company engaged in the cultivation of vineyards and wine-making.

In 1918, the first underground cellars were built, and with them began the production, using the “methode champenois”, of what are nowadays known as cava. Thus, and with the aid of subsequent additions, the stock of Cavas Hill has been gradually "ennobled". And today our wines and cavas are deserving of the prestige reserved for premier quality products only.

Climactic conditions in the area are exceptional. A perfect balance of hours of sun and rain and the proximity of the Mediterranean -200 meters above sea level- makes these lands a privileged nook. Then, traditions and technology, i.e., the knowledge of the centuries, the nurturing by expert hands, the maturation in the silence of the cellar and the semi-darkness of the cave, together with the most up-to date wine-making techniques continue the natural process of these excellent wines.

Each process is rigorously controlled, from the first buds to the bottling process. A modern, perfectly -equipped cellar and a series of underground caves under the vineyards nurture the wines and cavas of Cavas Hill.

BODEGA: PAZO PONDAL COUNTRY: SPAIN REGION: RIAS BAIXAS, PONTEVEDRA, ARBO WINE: ALBARINO, LENDA PONDAL, ORUJOS VARIETIES GROWN: ALBARINO, MENCIA, TEMPRANILLO

HISTORY(Origins - History)

The "Pazo Pondal" winery was born in the locality of Arbo, Pontevedra. Here you will find the perfect example of the "Denominación de Origen Rías Baíxas". We are located in the lower area of the Condado do Tea County, in the Northwest region of Spain, heir to a long tradition in the production of Albariño wines. The white indigenous grape constitutes the foundation elaborated fruity wines with immense aromatic power and of great personality.

Knowledgeable vine-growers nuture our vineyard by providing artisanal care and the best of ancient traditions. From four hectares of land, shaped in "Espalier" framework, comes the fruit used to elaborate this young white wine made of 100 % Albariño Grape.

A PERFECT REPRESENTATIVE

The indigenous albariño white grape is now the predominant variety in the region. The extension of the vineyards and the excellence of its monovarietals, make it the best white grape variety of Galicia, and one of the most promising of the country. These have a long history that can be traced back to the early pilgrimages to Santiago. The monks of Cluny, from France, brought with them the vine and know-how that would eventually give birth to the Albariño. To enjoy the wines fully, we recommend a temperature of 6-8ºC, so that they provide that slight sweetness. When the bottle is cold, the acidity of the wine, associated to its fruitiness, makes it a delightfully refreshing experience.

PAZO PONDAL WINERY PROFILE

FROM OUR LANDS TO YOUR LIPS

1-Harvest

The only indispensable ingredient to make a good wine is a mature and healthy grape. Even though we use modern techniques, the cultivation is the reflection of ancient and artisanal knowledge. To obtain fresh, tasty and delicate wines, the vintage must be og a high quality and a precise wine-making process. During the Harvest, an expert appointed by the "Denominación de Origen" of the

! 14 !14

Page 15: Boca Wine Imports

Xunta of Galicia is present to guarantee the quality of the vintage and optimize the grape picking. This guarantees the careful handling of the grape.

2-Fermentation

The wine-making process directed by our experts, takes place before the fermentation process. In the combine harvester the grape is separate from the bunch and goes on to the press. The grapes are then pressed to extract the must that will be fermented in stainless steel vats in our clubs. The stainless steel vats are kept, in a controlled and constant temperature of 18 degrees for approximately 5 days to mature the grape. The wine will remain in the vats until the end of February. During this period, the sugar of the must will be transformed into alcohol to obtain, after another clarification stage, the perfect wine. According to experts : " The wine enjoys tranquility, a cool temperature and constant control so that the sediment's accumulated during the fermentation can slowly settle, by the effect of gravity. "

3-Bottling Process

Once sufficient time has passed for the grape tosit (in this last phase seven days are necessary to keep the wine in the best conditions at a temperature of 4.5 º below zero), the vine-growers can begin the last procedures for the year: to bottle and label our Albariño. The wine making process is meticulous work, which consists of refining and developing the qualities of a wine and preparing it for the final consumption, for YOU.

4-Production Process

The Albariño grape (a 100 %) gathered by the hands of our men, follows scrupulously the same process for over 25 years.

To continue protecting this culture, the harvest is collected in plastic box, with a content limit of 20 kilos per box. From the boxes they move to the machine that separates the grape from the bunches, and removes the twigs. Once this takes place, the wine production begins. The grapes are placed in the horizontal press to extract the must that will produce the best wine for your palate. Once the grape is pressed and squeezed the grape, the juice passes to ferment in stainless steel vats. The temperature is constantly controlled so that it is always suitable. These movements of the wine are coordinated by filters. Once the awaited moment arrives, they are bottled, labeled and rest for approximately 8 days before being commercialized on the market. A good rest period is worth more than the haste of sales, which can ruin the wine.

! Os Cinco Irmans S.L.

BODEGA: BODEGA OS CINCO IRMANS S.L. COUNTRY: SPAIN REGION: VALDEORRAS, OURENSE WINE: “OS CINCO IRMANS” VARIETIES GROWN: GODELLO, MENCIA

Os Cinco Irmans means "The Five Brothers" in the Galician dialect. Galicia is the northwestern region of Spain where the winery is based. The Bodega is located in the Valdeorras D.O., which is inside the province of Ourense. They currently make 2 wines: the white 100% Godello that accounts for about 75% of their production, and then a red 100% Mencía wine. Godello is the preferred white variety and Mencía the preferred red variety, as outlined by the Valdeorras D.O. regulatory authority.

The winery was founded in the late 1960's when the current owner's wife inherited the vineyards. Since foundation, they have gradually acquired more land and plan to continue to do so. The winery is named for their five sons who are "Os Cinco Irmans".

The Godello variety grows best in soil with a very high slate content, which is obviously the case of the Valdeorras region. In fact, it is one of the few places in Spain rich in slate, so you really only find Godello grown here. Also, all the Godello vines in this region are planted on steep slopes. This is to ensure that they get the maximum amount of sun in this region of Spain known for its cool temperatures and high rain fall. Of course, this planting method makes any mechanical intervention (fertilizing, harvesting, etc.) very difficult. Everything must be done manually. This is one of the main reasons that Godello wines are not inexpensive.

The harvest is done by hand by the same workers who are native to the region and who have been harvesting for the winery for over 15 years.

The Os Cinco Irmans winery uses all stainless steel tanks to ferment and store their wines. These tanks are the latest generation and are temperature controlled.

BODEGA: BELONDRADE Y LURTON COUNTRY: SPAIN REGION: RUEDA WINE: BELONDRADE Y LURTON, QUINTA APOLONIA VARIETIES GROWN: VERDEJO Didier Belondrade - a Frenchman enamored with Spain and the belief that Verdejo had the potential to be a noble grape, began producing 100% Verdejo in 1994. He embarked upon this adventure with his then wife Brigitte Lurton from the renowned French winemaking family. Didier and Brigitte believed so strongly in the region of Rueda, due to it’s dry land and old vines, that they even applied Burgundian methods to the elaboration of their wines. Consequently, the two were the first in the region to barrel ferment Verdejo in French Oak and allow the wine to age on its lees. The result was an incredible wine of great complexity and depth, characterized by classic aromas and flavors of Verdejo integrated with those of vanilla, toast, and the nutty character of the extended lees contact

Today, Belondrade has his own winery and a new, but veteran enologist, Marta Baquerizo, overseeing the production of the wines. Belondrade y Lurton is recognized internationally, their wines have set the modern standard of the region with the use of wood, which updates an ancient local tradition.

! 17 !17

Page 18: Boca Wine Imports

In the 2002 vintage, Didier and Marta released a second label from the Bodega called Quinta Apolonia. It is crafted with the same care and quality control as the first wine, from the vine to the fermentation. The Quinta Apolonia is made from 100% Verdejo, however, the difference between this wine and the Belondrade y Lurton is that 40% of the wine comes from newly planted vines that do not yet have the potential to produce barrel fermented or barrel aged wines. This 40% is fermented and aged in Stainless Steel. The other 60% of the fruit comes from a selection of the barrels for the Belondrade y Lurton wine, but that will not make it into the final bottling of the Belondrade y Lurton. The bodega has chosen to declassify the Quinta Apolonia, even though it has the right to the D.O. Rueda.
