Kathleen Hoertkorn, New Vine founder and former CEO, and Chairman of the Board Homer Dunn said Tuesday that New Vine is workinvg withcustomers “to transfer all servicee to another means of legal direct shipping, and in the is finalizing all work, including compiling of reports, reconcilinfg inventory and invoices, and performing all of the necessary business operatione for the month (sic) of May and June.
