Made presentation to Vinnie/Category Manager at C-S wholesale on NW Cherries and apicots for 2009. Vinnie needs to take the agreement to Albert Grimaldi to approve the intent forms. They just received their first cherries from California. Vinnie showed them to me, good size, 10.5 row, color mixed, and sugar somewhat semi-tart. I tried one in a taste test with Vinnie.
C-S is excited about promoting NW Cherries for 2009 as soon as they are available. He hasn't decided on the Apricots, but he will take a look at it.
