SIGNATURE WINES MAKES INC. 500 LIST FOR 2nd CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Fast-Growing Company Changing the Way Wine is Marketed in the US

HAYWARD, Calif. - September 7, 2006 - For the second consecutive year Signature Wines has earned a place on Inc. Magazine's annual ranking of the 500 fastest-growing private companies in the nation. The company, the premier provider of specialty wine marketing programs, qualified with a three-year growth rate of 348.8% between 2002 and 2005.

Scott Cahill, CEO of Signature Wines, says the company's impressive growth rate can largely be attributed to its innovative approach to wine marketing. "Signature Wines is changing the way wine is marketed in America by thinking more like a consumer products company than a wine company. We focus on exploring ideas outside the traditional channels of wine marketing and offer new ways to promote wine."

Among its diverse wine marketing services, Signature Wines develops and manages wine clubs for such well-known organizations as Sunset and Better Homes & Gardens Magazines, sourcing high quality wines and providing marketing, fulfillment, and customer support services.

"Our wine club marketing service allows businesses like Sunset Magazine to leverage wine as a means of extending their brands and increasing revenue," said Cahill. "It is a unique and effective tool that can be included in the marketing mix of many consumer oriented businesses."

Signature Wines also offers a personalized wine label service, which combines stunning label designs with high quality wines from prestigious California wineries. Their customized products help businesses and organizations like West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy alumni associations build relationships, increase brand recognition, and generate revenue.

"Whether offering an employee perk, a selling tool, or fundraising item, our business clients value Signature's personalized label wines as an important aspect of their marketing programs," said Cahill. "Our personalized label wines are also popular among individual consumers, as they make great holiday, wedding, and special occasion gifting items."

In addition to offering specialty wine marketing services, Signature Wines also has its own wholesale division, which markets a variety of wine brands, including the Elvis Presley™ Graceland Cellars®. The company also markets its own brands of premium varietal wines, including Blackridge Canyon from Napa Valley and California appellations.

"At Signature Wines, we are continually exploring fresh and exciting new ways to market wine," said Cahill. "This is our most valuable attribute and the key to our success thus far. We have confidence our focus on innovation will continue to capture attention and keep us moving up the ranks of prestigious lists like the Inc. 500 for years to come."

Founded in 1998, Signature Wines is a leading provider of uniquely branded premium wines and wine club programs. In addition, the company also developed and supports the highly successful Sunset Magazine Wine Club and the recently launched Better Homes & Gardens Wine Club. Signature Wines also produces award-winning wines for Elvis Presley Enterprises, Ducks Unlimited, and several high profile universities. Signature Wines has also developed a technology platform that enables corporations, hospitality venues and consumers to easily develop their own custom-labeled wines. In 2005, Signature Wines made the list on Inc. Magazine's annual ranking of the 500 fastest growing private companies in the country.
