Broke Da Mouth Grindz Bar, Grill, Catering & Take -Gut 75-5854 Walua Road, Kailua-Kana, Hawaii 7-5-009:034 Original Restaurant General, Category B1 Hyun Jean Nguyen, owner, was present. Nahale-a: Could the Applicant or representative come forward? Good morning. Nguyen: Hi, good morning. Nahale-a: Please identify yourself and your relationship to the business. Nguyen: Sure. My name is Hyun Jean Nguyen and I am the Owner for Broke Da Mouth Grindz. Nahale-a: Are there any changes to the report that you submitted? Nguyen: No. Nahale-a: Could you please describe your business for us? Nguyen: Sure. We're going to be serving local Filipino and Hawaiian food and we're also wanting to have a bar so it can be paired with our delicious food. Nahale-a: Thank you. Director, are there any reports of protests? Takase: Madam Chair, the Applicant mailed out 234 out of 248 notices within 100 feet, 098 out of 739 notices within 500 feet, and seven notices to condominium or co-operative apartment managers. There were 739 parcels entitled to protest and we received two protests to this application. MAY 21 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 3 Nahale-a: Thank you. commissioners, the protest letters are in your packet. Is there any public testimony for this application? There was no public testimony. Nahale-a: commissioners? Raymond: I have a question. In your kind of business, it states that you would like to have live entertainment in the form of a band or soloist approximately one to two times a week, and (during) lunch and dinner. Do you have a range of what time this music or entertainment will be played? Nguyen: Yes. The reason why I wanted to apply for the live entertainment and band was as a treat for the customers. Instead of just hearing radio music, I wanted to give them a little treat and have live music. There's a different feeling (with live music). In the beginning, we're probably going to have the live entertainment once or twice a week, but that's just in the beginning to promote our business and to do something nice. I don't really see having the band consistently. But, back to your question, if we decide to have live entertainment for lunch, I would probably bring them in during the highest traffic (period) for not more than two hours. I would probably have them out of there by maybe 2:00 because that's when lunch slows down; maybe even before then. They become costly and not to mention, if I have them there too long, the customers won't get the cue to leave. We plan on closing at 3:30 so that our workers can have a break, get a chance to eat, and clean up their stations, since it'll get crazy and messy. The bar will remain open. We'll probably have a small pupu menu, like a happy hour special. We will actually be serving poke. We have a poke showcase which will be good for take-out because it's fast, or something that's ready-made; and it's good with beer. Nguyen: As for dinnertime, like I said, I'm probably going to bring them in during high traffic dinner time. We close at 9:30, but I don't want the band there until 9:30. 1 actually would want them out at feast by 8:30 so it gives the customers a cue, you know, like it's time to go home. I wouldn't want to disrupt our neighbors either. I understand that people have to sleep, they want their peace and quiet at a certain time, and that's another reason why we didn't want to stay open any later than 9:30. It still meets the legal curfew time as far as noise goes. I want to go home, I have family and kids and I also like to sleep, too. And I want my employees to be able to go home at a decent time because they have families as well. Not more than an hour and a half, tops two hours is when they'll be doing the live entertainment. The concept of the restaurant is Itohana." We're all about having family gather together. People love food and food brings everybody together, especially families. That is basically our concept and I guess that's it. Nahale-a: Thank you. Greenwell: Have you had any conversations with the neighbors? Nguyen: A couple of them. I guess as soon as the letters were being sent out, a couple of them actually called my first location and wanted to speak with me. They were concerned about what type of music I was going to bring in and I told them that if my MAY 2, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 4 servers can't hear the customer placing their order and they're right there, that's going to be a problem. I let them know that the types of bands or genre that we want to bring in would be acoustic, ukulele, soft, something chill; none of the drums banging or anything like that. Greenwell: In your discussions with them, was that prior to these letters of protest or after the letters of protest? Do you know off hand? Nguyen: [ never spoke with these individuals. The person I spoke with never sent in a letter after I spoke with him. He just wanted more information and I just told him the truth, what my intention was. He felt better after that. He said he just wanted to know what kind of live entertainment or band we wanted and what the hours would be. Greenwell: Thank you. Salave`a: Madam chair, I have a question. Nahale-a: ok, we'll hear Claude and then (your question). onizuka: Being from Kona and familiar with this area, this has been a problem anytime someone wanted to do something within the resort area. If she's going to close at 9:30, that's a decent hour. The other thing is, this is not something new. In that area, you have Huggo's on the Rocks and they put out a lot of music and I can hear that a mile and a half to two miles away, depending on the wind. Just for the sake of the Commissioners, I sympathize with the protest letters, but as far as I'm concerned, if you buy or live within a resort area, music within a certain decent hour comes with that resort area. I don't think that should be our justification for not granting the license. If you want peace and quiet, you have to move away from a resort area. That's my opinion. Nahale-a: Mahalo. Allen? Salave`a: Thank you. can you tell us what side of the building the music will be played on, Mauka or Makai? Nguyen: It will be on the highway side, not where the residentials or condos. are, because that's where all the windows are, so it's basically on the highway side towards the hotel side. Salave`a: Will the music be amplified? Nguyen: No. I don't want that. Like what I said, if my servers can't hear the customers placing their order and they're right there, it's going to become a problem. I want the families to be able to talk across each other and still be able to listen to what they're talking about. Salave`a: No plans for, not a concert, but guest band activities? Nguyen: You mean if they have to pay to come through the door? MAY 21 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MIN U TES 5 Sald ve`a: Something that would draw a large crowd and the music would be more... Greenwell: a function. Salave`a: Yes, a function. Nguyen: I don't think so, because if I'm going to be bringing in a famous band where the whole Kailua-Kona is going to want to come; I don't think I can afford them to begin with. I wouldn't really want, no offense, but the really young crowd coming in. I want to make money for my business, too. I would want a mature crowd that comes in, can pay for the food, pay for the tab, and be mature and all good. I wouldn't want young 'uns flocking around my place anyways. It's drama and between my husband and me, we have six kids together; we're a blended family, and our six kids give me enough drama, so no thank you. Ibarra: I have a question. My question is, in your application, you said that you'd like to have live entertainment approximately one to two times a week. What I'm hearing, though, is basically you open 11:00 to 3:30 for lunch, 5:09 to 9:30 for dinner. You just want any amount of time of entertainment during those hours? Nguyen: To be honest with you, I haven't really figured out if on my first day of grand opening, if I just want to do lunch band or dinner. It becomes costly, too, if I want to have it twice a day. I think I just want to have it once a day at the most; and in the beginning, I'll probably hire them maybe once or twice a week. I haven't really figured out exactly. lbarra: But if the Commission grants the application, you would want the flexibility of going up to 9:00 or 9:30 closing hours or whenever you're open. or are you asking for a condition or time? Then you can say okay, you got the permit, these are your opening hours and anytime during those opening hours for any amount of time, the Commission g ra nted it. Nguyen: I guess either way it wouldn't matter anyways, because I don't want the band playing until 9:30 or maybe not even until 9:00. 1 want them out of there by... Ibarra: And that's why, if it's in the permit, it's clear. Right? You got the permit, whatever time you're open you can have live entertainment. Nguyen: Yes. Ibarra: Versus, if you say to the Commission one or two times a week, you get the permit, then later on you (continually) increase it. You've already come before the Commission; are you going to come back? Right now you say one or two times a week. If you want more than one or two times a week, are you going to come back? What I'm Saying is why not ask for the whole... Takase: I think she actually is. When we spoke with them, they're trying to get a general idea of what their business is going to be like. Typically, we don't restrict them. MA Y z, 2oz 9 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 6 It's more of a "this is what I would like" thing. But, until she actually opens and gets a feel for it, they don't really know. As a Commission, usually, they're not that restrictive unless there are a lot of complaints about it and they know up front there will be a problem. We had two protest letters out of 739 (notices that were mailed); that's not a large amount. Some of the residents are actually here today to listen in. We always monitor them as well; we always take any complaints if there are any. Up front, I would not want to say they're restricted to what they... Ibarra: That's my point. Up front, they might as well ask for the whole ball of wax, so to speak. So that you'll get more flexibility. Takase: Yes, their trying to give us a good idea of what they're doing. But, we're not saying they're restricted to what they have. Ibarra: And that's all 1 want to know; not coming with one foot in the door, one or two times for approval and there's nothing on the permit that says one or two times. The next thing you know, we'll have conflicts. Up front, why don't we just say you're asking for everything; but as you go along in your business you're going to have to adjust, but you'll request the whole time. Nguyen: My goal is to get along with all the neighbors. As long as we communicate, I'm not hard-headed or stubborn, I'm willing to work with everybody. I'm hoping I don't have to come back here for any issues. That's my goal. Takase: If we look at the layout of this place, most of her seating is on the Makai side of the building. There's not much going up the hill, it's all mostly behind. Ibarra: I'm not against the permit, I just want to (put it) up front. You've got the operating hours; I know the area, too, I'm from Kona, you got the road in between the Kona Mansion and Habaneros, right, the road comes down? Nguyen: Yeah, the one on the left. Ibarra: It's just up front, you know? It's in this report here, one or two times a week. It looks like, okay, it's not that bad, but the Commission relies on this and they might grant the permit and now you're opening more than one or two times a week. Now you're opening anytime that you want to introduce live music when you're open. That's fine with me, I'm in agreement with Claude. But, I just want to put it up front, look, what you're asking basically is, and in the beginning of a business I can understand you start small and you may get to the full time when you're open all the time. Nguyen: Yeah. I understand what you're saying. Basically, am I going for the full pie, right? Ibarra: Well, that's what you'll hopefully get in the end, right, if your business is good? Nguyen: Yeah, yes, but I honestly don't see me hiring bands more than twice a week. I really don't. MAY 2, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 7 lbarra: And that would be better for your neighbors, right? Nguyen: Yeah. The last thing I want to do is to take more and try to push, push, push. But if that ever does happen in the future, I won't just go ahead and do it. I will probably talk to the neighbors. I actually met the manager for the complex. Ibarra: I lived in Kona Mansion when I first came back from the mainland, so I know where the property is. I agree with Claude. It's in a resort area. But I just want to make sure that it's up front so that the permit is without conditions; whenever you want to do it during your opening hours versus having litigation in the end. (For example) I heard in the meeting she said one or two times a week and surrounding people have filed a law suit, they look at the permit the Commission gave and it's without conditions. Nguyen: Yeah. My goal is to not let it get to that point. Nahale-a: It sounds like we have members of the public who would like to provide testimony now? Rankin: Aloha, my name is Sally Rankin and I am the president of Kona Mansion's HOA. We are directly across the street from Broke Da Mouth. Just to start off, we do appreciate the fact that they've been very open and had a dialogue with us as of today. Going into this has been scary because we received a notice, but really no information. Since none of us have experience with going through these permits, you pretty much leave neighbors hostile coming into this towards somebody we don't know. Let me start off there because it's kind of hard coming into this. Rankin: First off, Huggo's, while it is right in that area, we do not hear it from our location. Ever. I've never once heard it, and I'm on the third floor so I have a direct sight to it and I don't hear it. Two, while we are technically in a resort area, we are residential on that side of the street. So, that's not completely fair to say that. We are a little farther up, we are close to the resort area, but we are zoned residential there. With wanting to work with them, because we want to be good neighbors, too, absolutely and we want a successful business there because we've seen a lot of things come and go over the years; I think what is fair for us to ask is for there to be some conditions so that we don't go from this, you know. The amount of days is not an issue, but the time in the evening is an issue. While I think it's fair to say 8:00, 8:30, 1 don't want to see that 9:00, 9:30 pushed, and I'll tell you why. Because while it stops there, it doesn't stop there for us. Rankin: (With) the current restaurant that just moved out of there, we could hear the conversations out of their dishwashing area and where their guys hang out at night and much later than the time they closed. In talking with her (Nguyen), she's been more than fair having open communications with us and letting us know what their plans are and vice versa, but to be fair, we would like to say can we at least be reasonable about the time of evening that it can go on to so that in the future, it isn't an issue; and we don't have to come back here. Like I said, we all want to be good neighbors. I think that's fair to say. We just want to be reasonable at the same time. MAY 2, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 8 Mahoney: And the traffic, too. Rankin: The traffic, unfortunately, is an issue that we've been dealing with. We've been having traffic issues there for some time now and we're dealing with the attorney right now. That is here nor there wherever they have a business or not. The business was there, we all knew that going into what we bought. We deal with it, that's just life, it doesn't involve us. Like I said, all we're asking is for everybody to be reasonable about it. Thank you very much. Ibarra: In a residential (area), people have parties. Rankin: No, we have a very strict HOA and we're very vigilant about the people that live in our building. We have an abnormally high rate of full-time people in our complex compared to a lot of others that are in that area, especially. We do have issues with a hostel that has opened across the street from us. Ibarra: Nobody has music that is played when they have parties? And at what hours... Rankin: No, we have an extremely strict (policy), and we have a resident manager who stays pretty tight on that. The only open area we have that you hear noise on our property is all the way up on Kuakini where our pool and barbeque area is. Ibarra: So that's where it's allowed as far as your CC&R, or your restrictions? Rankin: Yeah, if you are going to have a gathering, it's all the way up and it's literally against the highway. In fact, nobody uses it because it's against the highway. Ibarra: What time? Rankin: We have a 9:00 to 9:00 currently on our pool area. Ibarra: So in that area at least, music is allowed from 9:00 to 9:90? Rankin: No. We don't allow amplified music. We have a strict rule, basically, we have a 10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. noise (rule). But in between that, we also have a "respect your neighbor." So, if somebody is being loud, our property manager can say `hey, one of the neighbors complained and we can fine you for it.' Like I said, again, we live in an abnormally high "full-time livers" and a lot of it is because we're affordable. Nahale-a: Mr. Greenwell, question? Greenwell: Would there be a possibility of a compromise where they didn't play music after 9:00? Rankin: Yes, absolutely. That would make us all happy. Greenwell: And that would make you all happy? MAY Z 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 9 Rankin: Yes. Greenwell: So, if they kept on serving up until 9:30 or they kept on feeding people until 9:301 it would not be a problem. It's the music that is the issue? Rankin: We don't all want to have a concert in our living rooms. Greenwell: I understand that, but I'm looking for... Rankin: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, when Habaneros was there they closed at 9:00. Past that, it generally took them an hour or two to clean up. That was the most brutal part for us, and that's why going into this with music, and it saying "amplified music" scared all of us. It scared us all because we're thinking Led Zeppelin's going play and we're going to have to listen to it; not an ukulele playing and something no more than what I hear from the Royal Kona now, basically. We hear the Royal Kona directly across. One thing we will say is, because you said something about the noise, the complex that is directly next to us and actually across from you (Nguyen), their pool is right there. Their pool is directly across from the restaurant. It's normally not that noisy there either. I believe they probably have pretty strict rules on noise, and I never heard amplified music coming from there. They have a pool house there. The fairness of 9:00, to me, is more than fair. Like I said, I'm all for compromise on it. Greenwell: I think we need to make a decision as Commissioner Ibarra said, we need to put a control someplace. If we change this to 9:00 instead of 9:30, and she can keep it to once or twice (a week), possibly. You say you already have a 9:00 curfew on your recreation area. Rankin: Yeah, on our recreational area. On the property, no. We have a 10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. on the property, but our pool is a 9:00 to 9:00. Nahale-a: Any other Commission questions? We'll hear Mike and then Claude after. Hughes: Question more for Gerald, I guess. If she's asking for a 9:30 ending time, if we grant the full open permit to her with no barriers and everything goes well, but all of a sudden there becomes a problem, the Liquor Commission can still step in and say we need to do something to curtail the loud music or rowdiness or whatever? Takase: Correct, we always have the authority to take action against any of the licensees. She's tried to give you her best guess as to what her business will be like. We talked to the applicants to try to get an idea of how they're going run it. We didn't see this as a problem. As for the letters that we received, and I agree in part that maybe the notices don't explain enough about what the premises would be, but that's what's required by Statute, we will check if we think there might be problems. If I thought there would be a bigger problem, we would have tried to bring the two parties together, but I didn't see this one as being a problem. We have a luxury; she has had a business in Kona for a long time. Nguyen: Seven years. MAY 2, 2019 -- LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 10 Takase: She has a track record so we know what kind of business she's going to have. It'll be a little different, yes, but we give them the benefit of the doubt going forward rather than put restrictions on them from the very start. We will adjust it if it becomes a problem. We invite them to always call us when there is a problem, and we will work with them. Hughes: Thank you. My opinion is we should grant the permit as noted and we shouldn't be restricting businesses until it becomes an issue, and at that point we should address it. That's my opinion. Rankin: We have high hopes that they're going to be good neighbors and from talking with them, and this is an assumption but we're, I have high hopes that they're going to be great neighbors. Hughes: It'll be like she said, communication is key. If there's an issue on their side, you need to let her know that there's an issue and if she doesn't address it, then that... Rankin: Yeah. I agree with that and that's more than fair. I think neither one of us want to be crappy neighbors. Nguyen: No, not in this town, it's too small. Rankin: Right? Nahale-a: Before I continue, I'd like the record to reflect that Commissioner Thomas has joined us at 10:25 as far as discussion. Claude: Hearing all the discussion, unless the other Commissioners have any other objections, I'd like to move that we close public hearing. Hughes: I'll second that. Mr. onizuka moved to close the public hearing; seconded by Mr. Hughes. Ibarra: I have a question, first. So, (as far as) the protest letter, you represent yourself or the Association? Rankin: The Homeowners Association. Ibarra: How many people? Rankin: We have 98 units. lbarra: And everybody is in accordance with your position? Rankin: We were in a board meeting that we had recently. MAY 2, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 11 lbarra: So you're saying you represent 98 people? Rankin: we're representing the Homeowners Association coming into this, yes. lbarra: Which consists of 38? Rankin: Ninety-eight units, yeah. when we went to our community manager that was what she suggested we do going into this. Nahale-a: Anything further? There was nothing further from the Commissioners. Nahale-a: If not, it's been moved and seconded. Thomas: I have one question. Have you had any live music in the other place? Nguyen: In our current location? Thomas: Yeah. Nguyen: No. Thomas: You haven't. So, do you have any sense for how loud you need your music to be in order for it to, I mean, the amplification varies and could be a lot because of the configuration of your space. It looks like it's long and narrow, but I'm just thinking about the degree of noise that is necessary at all, if you're going to amplify. It doesn't necessarily, even if you say that your conversation... Gonzalez: I believe the applicant addressed that earlier. I think she addressed the applicant about amplification or the housing because the applicant testified that without anticipating amplification because the servers won't be able to take orders. Thomas: Yeah, okay. Nguyen: To be honest with you, I think that if the dining area is full of people, of customers, the sound of everybody in there talking will overrule or overpower the band. Right? Thomas: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Nguyen: If you go in there, there's somewhat of an echo. Honestly, I think the sound of people talking is going to be louder than the band. That's how I see it. Thomas: I bring it up because I've been in places that have music and they intentionally make the music so loud to dampen the (customers' talking), so there's an ambience that you can orchestrate or determine whether or not you want people to hear themselves across the table talking or you want the music to dominate. That's something to just be MAY 21 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 12 aware of. You think that it's more important for the diners to hear one another than for the entertainers to be heard, that's the choice of the restaurant owner. Nguyen: The kind of ambience we want to create is like what I said, family because food brings families together and our concept is all about "ohana." Do I want the music so loud to where they can't even hear each other talk? Thomas: Yeah. Nguyen: No, and to the point where servers can't hear what the customers are ordering or what they're even saying? No. I want everybody in there to be able to have a conversation without yelling at each other. I want my servers to be able to hear clearly what the customer wants. Thomas: Thank you. Nahale-a: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing. Any discussion on that motion? There was no discussion from the Commissioners. Nahale-a: Seeing none, all those in favor say, "Aye." The commissioners voted "Aye." Nahale-a: Any opposed? There was no opposition by the Commissioners. onizuka: Move to approve Application No. 18-20, with no restrictions, with all rights to the Restaurant General, Category 131 license, and if there are problems the Commission can address that later, pending final inspection. Hughes: I'll second that. Mr. onizuka moved to approve Application No. 18-20, Broke Da Mouth Grindz & catering L.L.C., dba Broke Da Mouth Grindz Bar, Grill, catering & Take-out, for an original Restaurant General liquor license, Category B'1, located at 75-5854 Walua Road, Kailua-Kana, Hawaii, TMK: 7-5-009:034, pending final inspection; seconded by Mr. Hughes. Nahale-a: It's been moved and seconded to approve Application No. 18-20. Any discussion on this motion? There was no discussion from the Commissioners. Nahale-a: All those in favor say, "Aye." MAY 2, 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 13 The Commissioners voted "Aye." Nahale-a: Any opposed? Ibarra: Aye. Without the 9:00 restriction, I oppose. Nahale-a: Thank you. Any others?

Moa Kitchen LLC Moa Kitchen Restaurant 65-1298 Kawaihae Road, Kamuela, Hawaii 0-5-007:007 Original Restaurant liquor license, Category A Tetsuya Fujibayashi, Director, was present. Nahale-a: Let the record show the license being applied for is an Original Restaurant General liquor license. Good morning. Could you please identify yourself and your relationship to the business? Fujibayashi: Yes, good morning. My name is Tetsuya Fujibayashi. We will open a restaurant in Waimea. The restaurant name is Moa Kitchen. Moa means chicken in Hawaiian (language). I'm a farmer, actually, but I'm making chicken now; organic live chickens. I'll try to give healthy food to the local people and travelers, too. We will open in the early morning for the businessman to get a bento lunch, maybe 0:00, and we will serve all food in the morning and lunch times. We don't think (we will serve) so much at night, just one reservation (customer) at one time at maybe 7:00 (P.M.), 0:00 (A.M.) to 8:30 (P.M.), and we would like to close at 9:00 (P.M.) because we would like to open in the early morning. We will focus on morning and lunch and serve good chicken and good eggs, and good local organic vegetables. Thinking about the menu, the bigger organic people are healthy and energetic. It's all healthy food. We would like to sell healthy alcohol, too. One hundred percent water and hundred percent rice like sake; hundred percent water and hundred percent grape is wine; we don't like chemical use. We'd like to sell water, (for the) future, for the kids. Nahale-a: Thank you, Mr. Fujibayashi. Are you the owner? Fujibayashi: Oh, yes, I'm planning. I'm the Director and the owner is an investor from Japan. He has sixteen shops in Japan, only yakitori; you know the kaba (kabayaki) style with the charcoal? It's like small stuff. We'd like to make it a little bigger. Focus is for the local people first, for their health, I'd like to serve healthy food. Nahale-a: Thank you. Fujibayashi: At night there's not that many people (out) in Waimea, so only a customer from the Kona side or tourist maybe that has a reservation. That way we will know what kind of drink to serve and how many, it will be easier (to know). Nahale-a: Are there any changes to your report? Fujibayashi: No change. MAY 2, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 23 Nahale-a: okay, and you did a fantastic job of describing your business to us. Commissioner Greenwell, did you want to say something at this point? Greenwell: Are there going to be bento take-outs? Fujibayashi: Bento take-out will be onigiri or rice ball, sandwiches and soup. Greenwell: Take-out? Fujibayashi: Yes, take-out only morning, morning time. Greenwell: My question to you is, if you have bento take-outs, is there going to be ample parking for bento take-outs? In other words, trucks don't stop on the road, block the traffic; have you looked at that? Fujibayashi: Oh, (converses with Ms. Yoneyama, translating for him). Nahale-a: I'm actually going to put a pause on the answer. Fujibayashi: we have our own parking place and we can (do) drive-through. My restaurant is in one building so a car can go around and not cause traffic. (There won't be any traffic). Nahale-a: Okay, before we go any further with Commissioners' questions for the testifier, is there any public testimony for this application? There was no public testimony.

APPLICATION N,C.: APPLICANT: TRADE NAME: PLACE OF BUSINESS: TMK: LICENSE APPLIED FOR: 18-30 (10:55 A.M. ) The Elevation Wine Fund, LP The Elevation Wine Fund, LP 74-5483 Kaiwi Street, Unit #1506, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 7-4-015:008 Change in Kind to a Wholesale General liquor license from its Wholesale Beer and Wine liquor license Leon Dreimann, Managing Partner, was present. Nahale-a: Good morning. Please identify yourself and your relationship to the business. Dreimann: Good morning. I'm Leon Dreimann and I'm the Managing Partner of The Elevation Wine Fund, LP. Nahale-a: Thank you. Are there any changes to your report? Dreimann: No. MAY 2, 2919 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 27 Nahale-a: Could you, please, briefly describe your business for us? Dreimann: The primary part of my business is to invest in rarities associated with wine, held its own, but it expanded to actually take care of some resorts with members to supply them with wines otherwise not available on a direct basis from a wholesale distributor or anywhere else. That has now expanded to me providing lectures on wine and differences of why something may cost more than something else. Finally, this application is to add liquor, to make it a general wholesaler because this has become more and more successful. People are coming to find rare tequilas and scotches that, again, are even rarer to find than some of the wines. While this is not a primary part of the business of investing in wine, which appreciates in time, it is a service I will provide to the resorts. This is not something I'm personally interested in; $30,000 bottles of scotch is not what I, whatever I open up and let evaporate is in my closet. And I'm sorry, just as a sideline to all the conversation here, the Commission may not have come across (this), but one of the latest things being done by resorts all over the country is: if there is a curfew for noise, and they can no longer party and dance after that, a person has now invented and is renting out something called the silent disco. Some of you may have heard of this, but I think it is totally brilliant. They wear headphones and only they hear the music. There are three different sets of lights on the headphones and you dance with someone that matches the light on your headphone so only the two of you can hear it. You see this whole silent dance floor with people dancing and there's no noise complaint. I'm always amazed how brilliant people come up with solutions. So sorry guys, you can no longer complain about noise with silent discos. Nahale-a: Thank you. There is no one here, but is there any public testimony for this application? There was no public testimony. Nahale-a: Commissioners, discussion or questions of testifier? Gonzalez: There's been no changes to the report? Nahale-a: I apologize. Dreimann: No, there's no changes. Gonzalez: Thank you. Hughes: Just a question for you. Dreimann: Yes? Hughes: You only sell to members of the resorts? Dreimann: Yes, really only to the resorts. The resorts themselves will sometimes have a hotel guest that says to them, `I wish you had such and such.' I will usually get a phone call, sometimes late in the evening, someone saying, `hey, can you help us out? Someone wants a specific vintage of a rare wine,' and I usually can. MAY 2, 2419 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 28 onizuka: Move to approve Application No. 18-30, if approved, public hearing to be held on July 3, 2019, in Hilo. Raymond: Second.

The Commissioners voted "Aye." Nahale-a: Any opposed? There was no opposition by the Commissioners. Nahale-a: Motion carries. The motion was carried unanimously. Masuda: Madam Chair, since I ask him each time he's here, I have to ask him the question. Nahale-a: Yes, please ask him the question. Masuda: What is your most expensive bottle now that you're doing spirits as well as wine? Dreimann: Well, it's actually, I had'a request to supply a Royal Salute bottle of scotch, which I couldn't supply. But, I referred them to a local licensed wholesaler who then delivered it to one of the retailers here, and then they picked it up from the retailer. That was the $30,000 bottle of scotch. There's only forty of them made in the world and recently somebody asked for 1800 Coleccion Tequila, and there's again, only forty of them in the world and this was actually from Bob Parsons. He's famous for CoDaddy (internet domain), and he wanted twelve bottles. Since there's only forty distributed in the entire world, finding you twelve bottles is going to be seriously difficult. That order was about $36,000. Nahale-a: You were able to find twelve? MAY 2, 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 29 Dreimann: I was able to find nine out of the twelve and I told him never to ask me again, because some came from Scotland, from all over the world and again, went to a retailer. So that exposed me to a new side that I don't know anything about and don't want to actually even taste it in case I like it. I have enough vices as it is, it costs too much money. So that's from a Scotch point of view; but from wine, in California about two months ago, sold a case of wine for $138,000. That's pretty much my big one this year. For me, sometimes, I'm very happy if someone invites me to share it with them. The more you know about wine, the more of a kick it is to find a good wine for a lot less that can come close, because most of these extremely expensive wines are not necessarily that they're, they're very good wines, but it's not necessarily value for money, it's about the rarity and being able to say that you've never had this before and there's very little chance you will ever find it again. Nahale-a: Fascinating, always interesting to hear from you. Dreimann: Well, I see people who collect vintage cars. It's similar to that. Except in this particular part, as my website will say for people that invest in wine, with a car, you just need to maintain it, put it into the proper premises and it's always there. With wine, every time you drink a bottle, the next one is worth more because there's now one less available. It's not as if you can reproduce it. once it's consumed, it's gone. Masuda: Thank you for indulging me. Nahale-a: Thank you. Dreimann: Nice to see you all again. Vlll. Unfinished Business Nahale-a: Moving on to Unfinished Business. (11:04 A.M.) 1.
