Is anyone on here a Alcohol Distributor

[River Runner]

Is anyone on here a alcohol distributor? I have a friend who does import exports. He started imported this Delicious tequilla. I personally believe it tastes better than patron and I love patron. It currently is only being distributed throughout texas, it is in no other state in the united states. I am trying to help him distribute it in California. PM me if you are an alcohol distributor and I will send you the details and pricing. If you one a bar and are interested, I can probably help you out as well. Please let me know.

Thanks,

RR

Used to be 8 Likker distributers here in So Cal.
Now maybe two or three around these parts.

I'd try Youngs: http://www.youngsmarket.com/webapp/...oreId=10551&contentName=YMC_B2CContactUs.html
They love new stuff like this.

Best way new booze companies introduce their products is to rent a meeting room at a hotel and invite Youngs to a tasting.

I believe that's how Tito's got his Vodka moving: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tito's_Vodka
He ran up and max'd all his credit cards in the process, but the Tito is a multi-millionaire now.

Or if you are real serious and want some real tips on how to get sales/distribution traction, go to the Neda bar in Simi Valley, sit in the bar, order a drink and talk to Saiid.
Don't call him on the phone, talk to him in person.

He is the Babe Ruth/Donald Trump/Warren Buffet of Distributors reps.
He'll point you in the right direction.

Good advice from TPC.

Look into the liquor distributors first ...Southern Wine & Spirits, Young's and Wine Warehouse....

I would also look into the local beer distributors, they are always interested in new items and for the most part have good coverage in So. Cal.
(You make it So. Cal you'll make it in other big cities)
Most beer distributors are going to be MillerCoors houses, dont bother with the Budweiser distributors.

Classic Distributing and Beverage http://www.cdbginc.com/

Haralambos Beverage located in City of Industry

Harbor Distributing (Orange County-Gate City Inland Empire)

Allied beverage http://www.micromatic.com/beer-distributor/ca/sylmar/allied-beverages-inc.-bdid-103.html

The distributor will make or break you.
BE PREPARED:
Know what your selling, set your pricing, get a good contract.

Best of luck its a tough market.:thumbsup
