MOORPARK, Calif., Nov. 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Montalvo Spirits, Inc., (OTCQB:TQLA) (“Montalvo” or, the “Company”) producers of award-winning brand Montalvo Tequila, announced today that it has continued its expansion plan by securing distribution and receiving its first orders in the State of Arizona. Montalvo Tequila is now being distributed by MJ Sweiss, LLC, a fine wine and spirits distributor based in Phoenix, who supplies restaurants, resorts, and retailers throughout Arizona.

In addition, Montalvo Tequila has fulfilled an order from the State of Wyoming Liquor Division, and will be available in select retailers in the state.

These states now join Florida, New York, California, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Oregon in carrying Montalvo Tequila’s award-wining line of ultra-premium tequilas.
