Company Progressing Steadily on Audits, Funding and Retail Expansion

Brunton Vineyards (Pink Sheets:BVYH), a San Francisco / Napa-based wine company today announced recent developments in its business. The Companys management team has been working with CB Richard Ellis (NYSE:CBG) for the past two months on site acquisition and lease negotiations on several potential sites for the Companys San Francisco based wine lounge, VinoVenue. The Company had previously engaged CB Richard Ellis to help manage the global expansion of the VinoVenue locations.

Currently CBRE has tendered five Letters of Intent on behalf of Brunton Vineyards to landlords of several locations in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Pasadena, Beverly Hills and Irvine. The Company is awaiting responses from the property managers. BVYH has also selected an architectural design firm in San Francisco to remodel the existing San Francisco store and design other planned locations in the US. The Company expects to officially identify the firm selected and make a formal announcement within the next month.

The Company has also completed financial statements on its existing operations and is in the process of having those financial statements audited. Management currently anticipates that the consolidated audited statements, which will cover a six year period, will be completed within the next thirty days. Management hopes the Company will be approved for trading on OTC Bulletin Board in the first quarter of 2008.

"Due to funding delays attributed largely to the very tedious process of international financing, Brunton Vineyards has endured several setbacks over the last few months in the way of its market performance. With funding agreements already in place Brunton Vineyards intends to finance substantial vineyard acquisitions and expand VinoVenue operations and locations. Our management team, shareholders and our investment bankers have all been very patient through the process and we applaud and thank them for their continued support and belief in our company and business model," said Geno Brunton, CEO of Brunton Vineyards.
