Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon who turned 42 on May 1
It's amazing to us, but another year has passed and we have arrived at the Duke of Bourbon's 42nd Anniversary! Yes, May 1, 1967, was our first day in business.
So much has happened in our world over these many years that it would take way too much space on your computer, blackberry or I-phone if we wrote about all of it. Needless to say, we are extremely proud of our success and longevity. Of course, we are most aware that we could not have accomplished this feat without the support of our thousands of customers. In addition, we must thank our great suppliers - wineries, distilleries and breweries - and all of their representatives with whom we have worked.
The support from the California wineries has been over the top and we are gratified that we were able to team up with so many of them. We won't mention any names at this time, but we're sure that they all know who they are and realize how much we appreciate them. We have enjoyed most meaningful and pleasurable partnerships.
For those of you to whom we have not spoken for a while, we want you to know that we are fine and doing well (well, sort of) during these complex and difficult times. For those of you who have stayed active on the current scene, we cannot thank you enough! We will keep working hard and, hopefully, make it to at least 43 years of business at The Duke.
We send our very best wishes and sincerest thanks to all of you,
