The Rare Wine
Co. is one of America's most respected wine merchants.
We are specialists in sourcing impeccably cellared examples
of the world's greatest and most sought-after wines, and our
prices are often the lowest you'll find. We maintain a vast
inventory of rarities at our home in Sonoma, as well as in
Europe.
 While
no one does a better job of coming up with whatever is hot
and hard-to-find in today's market, our real strength lies
in finding the next superstar before others do, as well as
in locating the great vintages of legendary producers.
The Rare Wine Co.
was founded in 1989 by Mannie Berk. In 2002, a panel of wine
journalists and wine trade leaders voted us the Best Wine
Importer in America, as part of Food & Wine
magazine's American Wine Awards. And in both 2002 and 2004,
Mannie was named a Wine Personality of the Year by
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Welcome
The forecast calls for Clouds
 As we
prepare for our next Lunch and Learn, we are amazed
at the growing level of interest and the tremendous
number of articles recently written on Cloud
Computing. With so many different definitions and
points of view, we believe our invitation has summed
up the dialog rather well: “We read about it on the
internet and in newspapers and magazines, but what
is Cloud Computing beyond just another confusing
technology?” Perhaps the answer is that Cloud
Computing is not as much about a new technology as
it is a about a new business model. Please join us
for our next
Lunch & Learn to find out.

The 2009 Recovery Plan: What
It Means For Your Business
reprinted with permission from HP
 When the going
gets tough, the tough have a smart game plan. And with over
2 million jobs lost in 2008, the situation is definitely
getting tough.
Fortunately, the US has relieved our 26
million small businesses—those which gross $15 million or
less in profits annually[1]–in more ways than one with its
2009
Recovery Plan.
The new plan
not only gives small businesses tax breaks and credits, it
also plans to give your customers more money by providing
them jobs. In the meantime, though, one of the best ways you
can take advantage of the plan is by carefully investing in
the future with updated technology and energy
efficient solutions.
Even for larger
businesses that don’t directly benefit from the recovery
plan, making these types of changes while business is slower
can prepare you for when the economy picks up.
The
government’s plan
This plan provides you with a myriad of opportunities to
help your business.
The new plan:
