Paternina makes part of the history of Spanish wine, of the history of La Rioja. It was inaugurated in 1896 and since then this Riojan wine cellar has been faithful to its history yet at the same time renewing itself. For dinner or dessert, Federico Paternina fills the glass. The company produces and distributes wine from Spain's famed La Rioja region. Its labels include Banda Azul, Clos, Conde de los Andes, and Monte Haro. Though wine provides a great majority of the company's sales, Paternina also produces brandy and sherry. Paternina sells worldwide, but Spain accounts for most of its revenues. The Eguiz�bal family bought the seized Federico Paternina vineyards in an auction (from the Spanish government) for a single peseta in 1984. Chairman Marcos Eguiz�bal Ramirez owns more than 80% of the company. Founded in 1896, the winery uses cellars dating back to the 1500s.

Contrary to the old adage (often erroneously attributed to P.T. Barnum, but that's another story), 480 suckers are born every minute. Four hundred and eighty is the number of lollipops that Kendon Candies makes every hour. (Actually, the company cites the figure 15,000 a day; your intrepid writer has done the math based on an eight-hour day.) At any rate, Kendon is one of the country's top manufacturers of hard-candy lollipops. Its rainbow-colored pinwheel, round-up, seasonal, and specialty-shaped sweets on a stick are sold at amusement parks, zoos, restaurants, candy stores, and gift shops. Kendon Candies was founded in the 1950s by Tom Kennedy, who still owns and operates the company.

Martori Farms is an American grower and shipper rooted in a century’s experience in fresh fruit and vegetables.Our origins trace back to the turn of the century, to a horse drawn wagon owned by one of the first members of the Martori family to set foot in the United States.

A firm handshake and his honest reputation guaranteed every transaction. That grassroots approach stayed in the Martori family.
