Native American Winery Markets Award Winning Wine

The First Native American Owned Winery in the United States

SAN FRANCISCO (BUSINESS WIRE) - Indigenous Global Development Corporation (OTCBB:IGDC), the first and only majority owned and publicly traded Native American company in the U.S., today announced the launch of its majority owned Native American wine company named Indigenous Wines, LLC. In its first month of operation, Indigenous Wines successfully placed its award winning Chardonnay product in four top restaurants located in the popular Belden Lane restaurant venue in San Francisco.

Indigenous Global Development Corporation and Draper & Esquin Wine & Spirits, LLC, a wine negotiant with a 40-acre vineyard designate in Monterey County, will market five (5) varietals under the label of Vinetou Wines. Vinetou is based on the name of a fictitious Native American Chief made popular by the stories written by German author Karl May in the 1890s.
"Vinetou will be the featured wine at the upcoming International Diplomacy Council Annual Gala Dinner at the San Francisco Ritz Carlton," said Deni Leonard, Chairman and CEO, Indigenous Global Development Corporation. "This is the first Native Owned Winery in the United States and we are proud to join the Osoyoos First Nation of Canada who have had a winery for many years."


I kind of hoped the first one would be here in Indian Country...oh well.
