Preeminent Journalist Dan Dunn Names Conjure Top Ten Spirit of 2009

MIAMI, Dec. 31 - Novus Vinum, a leading wine and spirits site from Gayot
Publications, announced its Top Ten Spirits of 2009. Conjure was the third
spirit on the list, which was compiled by the influential wine and spirits
writer Dan Dunn, who is a regular contributor to Gayot/Novus Vinum as well
as Maxim and Playboy.

Dunn praises Conjure, an innovative new spirit hand-blended by Chris
“Ludacris” Bridges along with Birkedal Hartmann’s master blender, writing,
“Yes, you read that right - a rapper played a key role in the development of
Conjure Cognac. Ah, but this is no mere marketing gimmick.”

Dunn goes on to praise Conjure’s supreme mixability, which is an asset in
both classic and contemporary cocktails.

“We are proud to be recognized by Mr. Dunn and Gayot,” say Conjure
co-founder Kim Birkedal Hartmann. “The achievement was earned by all those
who have worked hard to make Conjure such a success. We look forward 2010
and beyond.”
