Testimonials

From the participant survey conducted after the 2007 event:

• "The 2007 Seatrade Cruise Shipping show was an enormous success for Pheasant Oak Vineyard Confections. During the show we launched our Ice Cream Wine Press ™ and our new Vineyard™ Ice Cream line of ice cream flavors made from American wines. The positive response we received from everyone that stopped by our booth was both unbelievable and unprecedented. We obtained a number of contacts from the show that we are working with to add our products to the cruise and vacation experience they offer their customers. As a result, we are laying out our plans to attend the 2008 show where we look forward to introducing additional Vineyard™." —Gary Samuelson, CEO, Ice Cream flavors.Pheasant Oak Vineyard Confections
