Luxury Wine Club Destination Cellars Expands Partner Network

Company Establishes Strategic Alliance With Young Presidents' Organization


DULLES, VA--(Marketwire - May 21, 2008) - Destination Cellars, the first and only luxury destination wine club, today announced its newest partnership with the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), the world's largest leadership network. YPO joins the Destination Cellars Strategic Alliance, giving its national and international C-level executive members' access to custom designed once-in-a-lifetime wine experiences around the globe.

Since its founding in 1950, YPO's 16,000 members in 100 countries have enhanced their personal growth and professional success through the sharing of ideas, pursuit of learning and exchange of strategies. In addition to offering traditional YPO programs tailored to meet the needs of today's global business leaders, the organization's fastest growing member offering is YPO Networks. This redefines member networking by shifting the focus onto personal interests. To cater to these personal interest groups the YPO has aligned with some of the world's most elite service providers to offer its members an array of exclusive offerings.

"Our alliance with Destination Cellars is about providing our members with a passion for wine with access to the best wineries and wine experts in the world. Our members are the global leaders of today's largest companies and the visionary heads of the world's most influential brands," said Brad Scott, YPO wine network strategic alliance chair.

"They often pursue their personal interests with the same zeal that they lead their businesses with and will not accept anything less than the best. Destination Cellars is the leader in its market," added Glenn Rotner YPO wine network chair.

Destination Cellars will roll out its partnership with YPO in stages, beginning with the members of YPO's Wine Network. As one of the largest personal interest network YPO offers, these wine members are focused on learning about and experiencing the latest offerings the wine industry has to offer. Next, Destination Cellars will reach out to YPO members that have indicated an interest in wine. Finally, the company will extend its offering to the entire YPO member organization.

"Partnering with Young Professionals Organization's is an incredible opportunity for us," said David Keuhner, founder and CEO of Destination Cellars. "Like the YPO, we hold our members and partners to the highest level of qualifications and remain committed to knowing the personal aspects that make each member unique, no matter how much our network grows."
