January 2020 ushered in new brands for the Connecticut Distributors, Inc. (CDI), portfolio with sales launch events and initiatives. The CDI teamed kicked off Jameson Cold Brew, which offers the taste of triple-distilled Jameson and the richness of natural cold-brew coffee flavor by combining its Irish whiskey with Arabica beans from Brazil and Colombia; Hanson Organic Vodkas in Original, Cucumber, Meyer Lemon, Mandarin and Habanero, are produced by the Hanson family-owned and -operated distillery in Sonoma, made from organically farmed grapes; and from Ménage à Trois Wines, its Limelight Pinot Grigio, which spotlights refreshing citrus flavors in the new wine release. CDI’s New England Division teamed up with Menage à Trois Wines by Trinchero Family Estates to support National Wear Red Day, held each year on the first Friday in February to raise awareness about heart disease as the leading cause of death among Americans, especially women.
