FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HAMPTONS Vodka Receives "The American Tasting Award of Excellence" from the National Board of the American Tasting Institute in a Blind Taste Test.

Now available in Michigan, Washington, D.C. and Connecticut

June 17, 1999 -- The HAMPTONS SPIRIT CO, maker of the First Premium American Vodka, is proud to announce that the National Board of the American Tasting Institute bestowed upon HAMPTONS VODKA, "THE AMERICAN TASTE AWARD OF EXCELLENCE" in a BLIND TASTING TEST.

The "blind " judging was conducted by a panel of professional Chefs in San Francisco. HAMPTONS Vodka was judged primarily for taste. Appearance and freshness was also considered. All products receiving the Award were judged "Excellent" in all categories.

We have now added Michigan, Washington, D.C. and Connecticut to our growing list of states where HAMPTONS Vodka is now available. We are expecting to add even more states in the coming months as the popularity grows. We hope to be offering HAMPTONS Vodka in at least 25 states by the year 2000. Additionally, we are in negotiations with distributors in MExico, Latin America and Europe.

We're very pleased to have achieved so much in so little time, but we still have so much further to go in order to bring to the rest of the world, the first Premium American Vodka, and with it, the "essence" of the Hampton's.

From the design concept of the bottle, which embodies all of the elements that are the Hamptons: the beaches, the ocean, the sky, and the splendid sun. All depicted in this beautiful tear-shaped bottle, with the feel of beach glass, the same beach glass, we have all found, collected and cherished.

And then the vodka itself: It had to be The Best, because that is, what the Hamptons are all about!
