  3. Merry Christmas from Ogden's Own Distillery in Ogden, UT. Here's to many Holiday toasts with micro- spirits. Cheers Timmy!
  4. Although I don't like Wells Fargo as a banking institution, they can write you a bond quick, cheaper than you're stating with your current situation and no collateral. It's funny how some insurance companies know so little about their products. A smaller company that originally helped me out and was great to work with "Malloy Imrie & Vasconi" St. Helena, CA 707-963-4073 Mary Allen.
  5. I believe Scott nailed that for you. I structured mine as an LLC and am taxed as an S-corp. I raised money, but didn't allow any partner more than 5% ownership. The LLC does not necessarily have to be dissolved if you lose a partner though. A well written articles of organization can address partner gain/ loss, voting rights, decision making etc, again- the accountant and attorney. My experience was that my accountant was the best to ask first. You can save a lot of money getting his point of view first. I found that my attorney had no issue with his advice and saved much billing time for me and my LLC.
  6. I'm going to ride the rails into SF on the Zephyr soon. I'll be stopping in.

  8. I have a Proforma Rep- Mike Scott- 801-547-5424. He normally comes in around $.78 per lanyard on orders of 400 or more. When I first started buying promo items, I was paying in that same range. Most of his material either comes out of California or is souced in China. Normally takes about 2-3 weeks @ the most Timmy!
  9. Hi, it's Tim from Ogden's Own Distillery. I haven't checked out the forum lately, but noticed xpress fill is still not getting a fair shake. My xpress fill 460 has now filled over 10,000 liters in the past 5 months. I've sold over 7,000 liters since August 1 2009. I bottle about 1,000 liters at a time and check the machine for accuracy during bottling. It nails it every time on every head within 2ml. It normally takes 3 to 4 cycles to get warmed up and then it's on. A bottling run takes a little more than two hours using the xpress fill. Every head is accurate and I have no complaints. I am going to buy another xpress fill for a backup. I just thought about how much I rely on that little machine. It's the most important piece of equipment that I own- excluding my brew/distilling system. Those guys have turned a bad product around. Cheers Tim
  10. I love my Vigneron/Xpress fill! A bottling day is normally around 1,000 liters for me. I get it done in 3 hours or less. Thanks guys. I'm thinking about getting another one.

  11. If it doesn't fall under a specific category you can go with a fanciful name. The fanciful name is submitted on your formula approval. I had to submit a few different fanciful names, but now have a category of my own.
  12. Get used to it. Nothing will change until you have something in the bottle. Then it had better be impressive.
  13. I have the new x-press fill 460. I was really nervous because I bought it last year and had not heard all the negative comments. I saw one for sale for $100(vigneroon). I am very happy with mine. I bottled a batch of 1200 liter bottles with it just recently and it is impressive. It's not extremely fast- ~22 seconds for a .750 and ~30 seconds for 1 liter bottles. It works well for Underground, which is a high solid liqueur. I think these guys have the kinks worked out. Tim
  14. I got a letter from him last week and laughed because just yesterday I gave the ok on my first t-shirt proof.
