Episode description as stored

Thirty-five years. Same 800 number. Still picking up. That's Premium Blend in a nutshell — built on relationships, consistency, and a product that just keeps finding new audiences. In this final episode of the series, Gino Santos gives Forrest a full picture of where the brand is headed and what it looks like at home. Highlights include: A new Aguardiente (Colombian-style spirit) launching just ahead of the FIFA World Cup, with Miami games on the schedule and Premium Blend accounts already lining up launch parties The long-term retail vision: getting agave wine and other products onto shelves at stores like Ralph's so consumers can take them home The Santos family holiday table — roast pork, black beans and rice, and the Cuban flag in food form, shared with three generations across Miami, Jacksonville, and Nashville The full drink lineup for that dinner: Santos Sangria (100% Spanish origin, grandmother's old family recipe), rum and Cokes made with Rumbero, vodka sodas made with Clear Red, and after-dinner pours of Failing Irish Cream (produced in Ireland) and Cafe Luna coffee liqueur Why the margarita quietly became America's number one cocktail — and what the tequila boom means for Premium Blend's agave wine collection How Premium Blend supports its accounts beyond the sale: recipe books, promotional materials, and hands-on drink-making help A fitting close to a five-part series packed with business insight, immigrant grit, family pride, and genuinely great product storytelling. 📞 Premium Blend toll-free: 800-899-0331 🌐 premiumblend.com @thebestwinepod Discover More from The Best 5 Minute Podcast Network: Wine Podcast Music Podcast Travel Podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
