"This additional funding is critical to enabling Vinfolio's continued rapid growth," states Founder and CEO Stephen J. Bachmann. "The investment will accelerate our technology development and fuel our acquisition of private wine collections." Now with almost 40 full-time employees, Vinfolio projects revenues to triple in 2007 over 2006 with nearly 60% of its retail wine sales driven from the supply of fine wine sourced from private wine collections. By year end, Vinfolio plans to unveil a new generation of its free VinCellar online cellar management software that will offer expanded features for oenophiles to buy, sell, manage, and enjoy their wine.

William Timken, one of the founding partners and later Vice Chairman of technology investment banking firm Hambrecht & Quist, will also join the board alongside Vinfolio Chairman Jean-Michel Valette, MW, (and Former Chairman at Robert Mondavi Winery), and Colin Lind, Managing Partner at Blum Capital Partners, LP.

"This dynamic young company has already made significant strides under Steve Bachmann's leadership," says Timken. "The company has a unique set of competitive advantages and the opportunity to transform an industry. I am excited to be a Director and be part of that path."
