Liquor Group CEO “Tapped” for USA Mutuals Invest Your Knowledge Series
Also participating on the call is Dr. Marcin Kacperczyk, Professor of Finance at New York University, co-author of the award-winning “The Price of Sin: The Effects of Social Norms on Markets”.
Liquor Group* continues to gain recognition as one of the fastest growing alcohol distribution companies in the USA, recently spreading its breadth of territory to 32 states. The rise of the company from a home garage in 2002 to its current state only partially reflects its publicly traded portion, since that makes up only a minute percentage versus the privately held operations. The company recently acquired privately held alcohol distribution/brokerages in Illinois and Iowa, and intends to continue acquisitions capturing/controlling distribution/brokerage licenses in as many states as are available.
“I am honored to be chosen to speak; Mr. Lansky has many options available for other speakers, I will do my best to provide meaningful insight on the current state of the adult beverage marketplace.” says Eiras.

Martinifest - Florida's Largest Martini Party!
November 18, 2009 - This year's Jacksonville Martinifest drew more than 3000 thirsty revelers to sample a multitude of adult beverage products at the riverside Jacksonville Football Stadium. Liquor Group products dominated the top floor of the show with a wide array of products offered at a number of tables. The SurReal Vodka line from Latvia was extremely popular with the crowds and received a nod as "best tasting cocktail" for a blend of SurReal Red Berry Crème Vodka and Cranberry juice. Hawaii's organic ultra-premium Ocean Vodka was one of the fastest moving brands with drinkers flocking to sample from the tropical themed bottles. A new addition to the Liquor Group portfolio that made an appearance at the show was McCulloch's American Vodka represented by Rob McCulloch whose family has been distilling in Ohio since the late 1800's. Many of the vodkas offered at the show were mixed with high quality Weis Liqueurs from the Black Forest region of Germany. In addition to Vodkas the Liquor Group tables also offered the recently introduced Columbus Anejo Rum, a seven year old sipping rum produced in the Dominican Republic by the famed Barcelo family, and Fat Ass Tequila Blanco a ultra-premium tequila that is taking the Florida market by storm. Probably the most unusual new products offered by Liquor Group at this year's Martinifest were the Whipped Lightning line of alcohol infused flavored whipped creams that topped many of the evening's favorite libations.

Liquor Group Product Manager Lowell Newman remarked that he was "thrilled to get these new items in stock just in time for the holiday season.

Columbus Rum Sails into Liquor Group Portfolio
November 2, 2009 Jacksonville, FL – Dominican Habitat LLC has selected Liquor Group Wholesale, Inc. (OTCBB:LIQR) to introduce their Columbus Anejo Rum to the Florida market. Columbus Rums are produced in the Dominican Republic by the famed Barceló family using the original family formula that made their rums famous around the world. Dominican Habitat describes the seven year old Columbus Anejo as exceptionally smooth and rich rum in the classic Dominican Republic rum tradition that can be enjoyed straight up, on the rocks with lime or in your favorite rum cocktail.
“By working closely with the Barceló family we are able to bring it to market at a very reasonable price point.” says Senior Vice President Jeff Bryant “The rum is produced from freshly cut sugar cane and is aged in aromatic white oak barrels to give it a distinctive sweet nose and smooth finish.” Bryant also explained that Liquor Group was chosen for launching the brand in Florida “…due to their hands on sales and marketing approach that has been successful with other new brands."
Lowell Newman, Liquor Group's Vice President and Product Manager noted that the new Columbus Anejo with its high quality and modest price will be strong competition for many established brands. Plans are already in the works for expanding the sales of Columbus Anejo Rum to other states within the Liquor Group distribution network. "We are also looking forward to adding the Columbus White Rum and the much older Columbus Imperial Rum to the product line in the near future."
