Nu2O products will be the first and only premium nutrient-enhanced bottled water products to be produced using a revolutionary cold-filling process that enables the adding of organic nutrients while retaining the appearance and taste of pure water. This concept is unique because no other producer adds organic nutrients without also adding masking flavors, colors or sweeteners. Nutripure’s products will contain no calories, no carbohydrates, no colors and most importantly, no flavors other than pure water. NutriPure’s patented cold-fill process gives the company two huge marketing advantages over its competitors. First, this process costs 30% less than the standard hot-fill process, which translates directly to greater bottom line profits. Cold-filling also enhances the bioavailability of the ingredients, prevents biodegradation, and allows beverages to be bottled at neutral pH, thereby creating a more healthful product without altering the taste of the water. This process gives NutriPure the advantage of being able to use the claims “natural”, “organic”, and “no preservatives” on its packaging and marketing materials.

Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley was mostly prune orchards and pastures when, in 1962, Maggie and Harry Wetzel purchased a large portion of a homestead built by Cyrus Alexander, the valley’s nineteenth century namesake. Here, in a rural community of family farms and ranches, the Wetzel family settled. They raised livestock, cultivated bountiful gardens and restored Alexander’s original home, making it the center of family life. With an eye to their neighbors in nearby Napa Valley, the Wetzels boldly planted premium grape varieties, among the first in the area. Then the family built a small winery. Hank Wetzel, oldest son of Maggie and Harry, produced Alexander Valley Vineyard’s first wine in 1975. His wife Linda set up the books and managed the winery office. AVV quickly established a reputation for estate grown wines with distinctive varietal character. Acclaimed for crisp Chardonnay and luscious Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley Vineyards brought recognition to the appellation and became a leading winery in Sonoma County.
