(OTC:DVNL) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of 99.2% of the outstanding common stock of Taconic Data Corp., a New York-based privately-held provider of real estate due diligence data delivered to consumers over the Internet and to businesses through industry member organizations and trade groups. Following the completion of the acquisition, D-Vine changed its name to "MonsterDaata.com, Inc." to better reflect its business activities.

In connection with the completion of the acquisition of Taconic Data, directors of Taconic Data assumed control of the Board of Directors of D-Vine.
