- Apogee 21 Holdings, Inc. (APHD) is a holding company doing business as A21 Wine & Spirits that produces and markets craft spirits and wine in the United States. The company owns Monkey in Paradise Vodka, Andale Tequila (formerly Casazul Tequila), and Blue Nectar Tequila brands; it also holds the sales agency for Zunte Mezcal and Finca Ferrer Wines from Argentina. Founded in 2005 and headquartered at 4578 Carriage Lane, Las Vegas, NV, the company operates primarily through its A21 Wine & Spirits division, which provides working capital for production, sales, and marketing while pursuing a rollup strategy of acquiring complementary wine and spirits brands with regional success or succession challenges. Geographically, it focuses on U.S. distribution through regional salespeople, distributor relationships, and storage facilities in California and Pennsylvania. Recent developments include the March 2023 merger with Tequila Casazul, Inc., the January 2024 asset acquisition of the Paradise Brands portfolio (adding Monkey in Paradise Vodka, Blue Nectar Tequila, and Zunte Mezcal with projected $4 million in 2024 revenue), a Series B funding round featuring a $600,000 additional investment and $400,000 convertible note conversion, multiple new common and preferred share issuances through mid-2025 for cash, debt conversions, and services, and ongoing pursuit of four letters of intent for further acquisitions as of early 2024.
