CASA NOBLE TEQUILA SPONSORS “THE AMERICA’S CUP OF POLO”

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – While the official polo teams of the United States and England battle it out for the first-ever “America’s Cup of Polo,”
founding sponsor Casa Noble will present its ultra premium tequilas including
Casa Noble Añejo, winner of a double gold medal at the 2007 San Francisco Spirits Competition, in support of the event’s beneficiary - Journey for the Cure.

“The America’s Cup of Polo,” created by United States Polo Association (USPA) to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the settlement at Jamestown, will be held on May 12, 2007, inside historic Morven Park in Leesburg, Virginia, just outside Washington D.C. Casa Noble joins a collection of elite brands including Cartier, Merrill Lynch, The Ritz Carlton and ESPN as founding sponsors of this historic sporting event which benefits Journey for the Cure, a non-profit foundation dedicated to the National Multiple Sclerosis and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Societies.

The event is being spearheaded by “The America's Cup of Polo” Chairman Tareq Salahi, an avid polo competitor and vintner, and top-ranked international polo professional, Charles Muldoon who is a survivor of Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Salahi sees the event as an opportunity to unite and rally around the American ideals of freedom and democracy. "These ideals are what fundamentally makes America so strong. With this event, we are bringing people together to celebrate the community, in Virginia, across the country and abroad," says Salahi. Towards that end, world leaders including President George W. Bush, His Majesty King Abdullah and Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, and other high profile Heads of State have been invited to participate as part of the event's greater mission.
