Joe and others:
Please use e-mail to request standard and public company information only, and not as a means of personal communication with any of the officers, employees and directors of Araldica Wineries, Ltd.
There are 12 officers, directors and employees of the company, none of whom - including the webmaster - have the time to personally respond to dozens of daily messages we currently receive (like "How's things?" and "What can you tell me?").
If we wanted to (we don't), and if we could (we can't), we still could not give to each inquiry the usually non-public and company confidential information that is being repeatedly requested.
THE COMPANY'S PRESS RELEASES- AND OCCASIONAL WEB SITE INFORMATION UPDATES- ARE ITS ONLY OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS.
Please do not call the company's employees, or officers and directors, for more information than has been released; you are not going to get a response.
We do not have, and are not going to hire, a person just to handle the dozens of daily inquirers we receive; all that has been accomplished by our people attempting to keep up with such inquirers in the past, even though they have now been instructed not to do so, usually, is hard feelings and misunderstandings.
I'm sorry if many will not understand or accept this policy, but it is the only way we can proceed; we cannot afford to hire a staff of people- and an extra lawyer -just to keep our many e-mailers happy.
I thank you all for your interest in Araldica, and remind you that we are trying our best to get out any new information on a timely basis; if it does not happen as fast as you would like, there is usually a reason, and not always one we can discuss without first obtaining legal approval, be it good news or bad.
