The response to CEO Jim Beagle's multimedia presentation combined with steady traffic at the Grapery booth the next day translated into a big success for the brand and the company at the 2011 New York Produce Show and Conference.

"Activity at the show exceeded our expectations. We have several exciting new business opportunities to pursue," said Beagle. A variety of product was available for sampling including Grapery's popular new Cotton Candy grapes. Beagle's "Passion for Flavor" presentation was well received and stimulated much follow up discussion during the show's Global Symposium on Monday 11/7.
