Marani Signs Largest Retail Spirits Distributor in Las Vegas

LOS ANGELES, CA, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Marani Brands, Inc. (OTCBB: MRIB) announced today that it has gained a
key account in the state of Nevada. Through Marani's Nevada distributor,
Regency Wine and Spirits, Marani's ultra-premium vodka, Marani Vodka can
now be found in Lee's Discount Liquor (http://www.leesdisliquor.com), Las
Vegas' largest retail spirits distributor.

Nevada's premier wine, spirits & beer merchant, Lee's Discount Liquor, is
a "big-box" format retail liquor chain with 13 locations within and around
the greater Las Vegas area. Though the name suggests lower priced items,
Lee's retail outlets carry the largest variety of high-end wine and
spirits in the Las Vegas market. Within the state of Nevada, Lee's
Discount Liquor is considered to be one of the most significant wine,
spirits and beer retailers.

"We are very pleased to announce this exciting development to Marani
shareholders," said CEO Ara Zatarian. "Since our entrance into the
Nevada-Las Vegas market with our distribution partners Regency Wine and
Spirits, we have been focused on gaining market share both on-premise as
well as off-premise. Now that Marani Vodka is available in Lee's Discount
Liquor, the accessibility of our product to our customers is stronger
than ever. After tasting our award winning vodka at any one of the many
high-end clubs or bars we distribute to in Las Vegas, consumers can now
go and purchase it at any of Lee's 13 retail locations. This is a major
development in the rollout of our distribution strategy," added Zartarian.
