January 31, 2011 Presented To: Mike Edison Scott Buehler Alexis Milam Toby Ryan Delaware’s Only Premium Organic Winery! Winery Kennett Pike Greenville, DE

The Problem Northern Delaware lacks a premium winery and wine enthusiasts have had to settle for second best! No other nearby winery produces organic wine. 2 wineries in Southern Delaware Nearby Brandywine Valley Wine Trail featuring 8 wineries Southern NJ wine trails

Nassau Valley Vineyards Brandywine Valley Wine Trail Cumberland County Wine Trail Cape May Wine Trail Blue Hen Winery Chesapeake Wine Trail

The Solution BHW will be the only local producer of organic wine with a focus on sustainable packaging The opening of BHW will also enhance Delaware’s tourism in New Castle County.

The Technology Organic and Sustainable All organically grown grapes – no pesticides/toxins  Message to consumers that we support agricultural communities that refuse to pollute soil and water supplies.  Wine enthusiasts believe organic wine varieties are more flavorful because they're made from grapes raised on healthier soil. ECO Series™ bottles used for all of our wines.  Made with greater than 50% recycled material, which reduces consumption of energy for manufacturing and CO2 emissions by 21% when compared to a “classic” wine bottle.
