Mr. Jelinek,
I love shopping at Costco and have done so for the last 7 years. In that time I have discovered, surprisingly, that Costco branded liquor is one of the best kept secrets in the industry. Great stuff.
I am a partner with an Arizona distillery that recently started selling to Costco. We have developed a revolutionary process that creates whiskey from grain alcohol in 8 days. Yes 8 days. Its good- your store sells it.
Would Costco be interested in owning this process, exclusively? You have the scale to take this global and completely disrupt the 500 year old liquor industry.
