Market Competition and Expansion:
When this winery opened there were only 6 other wineries in NJ. Now their are over 45 and the industry is booming. With NJ's large population there is plenty of room for many more wineries and this one has been open for almost 27 years and has an outstanding reputation in the industry. Growth potential is almost unlimited as the facility can double the number of gallons currently produced with only minor modifications and the market is literally untapped. Most of our retail business is generated from our website, email blasts and some limited print advertising. Sale comes with complete client data base, 5 retail outlets and at least 20 liquor stores who carry our wine.
