RECITAL. Borrower is the former subsidiary of Maxmillian Partners, LLC,
("Maxmillian"), the original borrower of a personal loan from Lender in the
original principal amount of $80,000.00 (the "Original Debt"). As of the date
hereof, Maxmillian has entered into one or more agreements with Gourmet Group,
Inc., a public company trading under the symbol "GOUG.PK" (the "Holding
Company"), for the exchange in a private transaction (the "Exchange") of
substantially all of the outstanding equity securities of Borrower for shares of
the restricted common stock, $.001 par value, of the Holding Company (the
"Exchange Shares"). Maxmillian anticipates that immediately following the
Exchange it will complete a liquidating distribution of substantially all of its
assets to its members, which assets will be constituted either wholly or in
principal part of the Exchange Shares. As Maxmillian in such event will not have
available funds from which to satisfy the obligations remaining in respect of
the Original Debt, each of the Holding Company, Maxmillian, the Borrower and
Lender have agreed that for the purpose of permitting the Exchange to be
completed, the Original Debt will be assumed by Borrower upon the terms and
conditions herein, it being the intention of all of such parties, that as of the
completion of such assumption, Maxmillian's obligations relating to the Original
Debt shall be released in full by Lender, and all of such obligations, as
modified by the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall be assumed by
Borrower (the "Obligations").

BORROWING. Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender, in lawful money of
the United States of America, at its office indicated above or wherever else
Lender may specify, the sum of Forty-Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty and No/100
($44,560.00) Dollars or such sum as may be advanced and outstanding from time to

Rate"). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until the
Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.

threatened action, the returned payment shall remain payable as an obligation of
all persons liable under this Note or other such documents as though such

collect a late charge for any subsequent late payment received.

ATTORNEYS' FEES AND OTHER COLLECTION COSTS. Borrower shall pay all of Lender's
reasonable expenses incurred to enforce or collect any of the Obligations
including, without limitation, reasonable arbitration, paralegals', attorneys'

suit, in any trial, arbitration, or administrative proceeding, or in any
appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.

USURY. If at any time the effective interest rate under this Note would, but for
this paragraph, exceed the maximum lawful rate, the effective interest rate
under this Note shall be the maximum lawful rate, and any amount received by
Lender in excess of such rate shall be applied to principal and then to fees and
expenses, or, if no such amounts are owing, returned to Borrower.

shall exist: Nonpayment; Nonperformance. The failure of timely payment or
performance of the Obligations or Default under this Note. Nonpayment. The

notice of dishonor, demand for payment, notice of intention to accelerate
maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, notice of sale and all other

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

         Security Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2004 (the "Security
  Agreement"), by and between NEXCOMM INTERNATIONAL BEVERAGE, LLC, a Connecticut
  limited liability company having a principal place of business in Southport,
  Connecticut, (hereinafter the "Secured Party"), and DRINKS AMERICAS, INC., a
  Delaware corporation having a principal place of business in Wilton,
  Connecticut (hereinafter the "Debtor").

                                     RECITAL

        Debtor is the former subsidiary of Maxmillian Partners, LLC,
 ("Maxmillian"), the original borrower of Secured Party under a certain Secured
 Convertible Note and Agreement and a related Security Agreement dated April 8,
 2003 (the "Original Debt"), the obligations pursuant to which were guarantied
 by Debtor in accordance with a certain Guaranty, also dated April 8, 2003. As
 of the date hereof, Maxmillian has entered into one or more agreements with
 Gourmet Group, Inc., a public company trading under the symbol "GOUG.PK" (the
 "Holding Company"), for the exchange in a private transaction (the "Exchange")
 of substantially all of the outstanding equity securities of Debtor for shares
 of the restricted common stock, $.001 par value, of the Holding Company (the
 "Exchange Shares"). Maxmillian anticipates that immediately following the
 Exchange it will complete a liquidating distribution of substantially all of
 its assets to its members, which assets will be constituted either wholly or in
 principal part of the Exchange Shares. As Maxmillian in such event will not
 have available funds from which to satisfy the obligations under the Secured
 Convertible Note and Agreement and the related Security Agreement dated April
 8, 2003, each of the Holding Company, Maxmillian, the Debtor and Secured Party
 have agreed that for the purpose of permitting the Exchange to be completed,
 the Original Debt will be assumed by Debtor upon the terms and conditions
 herein, it being the intention of all of such parties, that as of the
 completion of such assumption, Maxmillian's obligations relating to the
 Original Debt, including without limitation, the security interests granted
 pursuant to the Security Agreement, shall be released in full by Secured Party,
 and all of such obligations, as modified by the terms and conditions set forth
 herein, shall be assumed by Debtor (the "Obligations").

          1. Grant of Security Interest. Debtor, for value received, hereby
 grants to Secured Party, a continuing security interest in the following
 property now or hereafter owned by Debtor (the "Collateral") to secure the
 Obligations of the Debtor.

              (a) the property described in Schedule "A" annexed hereto and made
a part hereof;

              (b) all property, goods and chattels of the same classes as those
          set forth in Schedule "A" acquired by the Debtor subsequent to the
          execution of this Agreement and prior to its termination;
<PAGE>

              (c) proceeds of the Collateral; and

              (d) all increases, substitutions, replacements, additions and
          accessions to the Collateral, other than with respect to any motor
          vehicles or replacements which are subject to a purchase money
          security interest of any other party at the time such same are
          acquired; and (ii) from which products and proceeds shall not serve as
          Collateral hereunder to the extent utilized to acquire other motor
          vehicles to be used by Debtor.

       2. Ownership of Collateral. Debtor represents that it has good title to
 all property described in Schedule "A", subject only to the prior secured
 interest of Debtor's institutional lender in respect of indebtedness relating
 to the acquisition by Debtor of the Assets from Seller, or any amendments
 modifications, renewals, or refinancing of such indebtedness (the "Lender");
 that it has the right to convey a security interest in such Collateral to the
 Secured Party; and that except for the Lender, no other person has or purports
 to have any right, title, lien, encumbrance, adverse claim, or interest in such
 property except as disclosed in writing to, and accepted in writing by, the
 Secured Party. Debtor further represents and warrants that (i) all action
 necessary to enable Debtor to execute this Security Agreement and the Note and
 to perform same in accordance with their respective terms, including the grant
 of the security interest herein, has been taken, (ii) that no consent of any
 party is required for the execution, delivery and performance by Debtor of this
 Security Agreement and the Note, (iii) that this Security Agreement and the
 Note constitute the valid binding and enforceable obligation of Debtor; (iv)
 that the execution and performance of this Security Agreement and the Note by
 the Debtor will not result in any violation of any material agreement,
 indenture or other instrument to which Debtor is a party or any judgment
 decree, order, law or regulation applicable to Debtor; and (v) that the
 security interest granted pursuant to this Security Agreement, upon due filing
 of the appropriate financing statement will constitute a valid and perfected
 security interest.

        3.Use of Collateral.

          Debtor represents that the Collateral has been acquired and is used by
 the Debtor, or will be acquired and will be used by Debtor, for the purpose of
 operating the business of the Debtor (the "Use").

        4.Acts to Be Performed by Debtor.

              (b) Further Assurances. Debtor shall defend the title to the

 instrument or do any other acts necessary to make effective the purposes and
 provisions of this Security Agreement, and (iii) execute any financing
 statement instrument or statement required by the Secured Party or by law or
 otherwise in order to perfect or continue the security interest of the Secured
 Party in the Collateral free of all other liens, claims and rights of any third
 parties whatsoever except as provided herein.

              (c) Possession and Removal. Debtor may remain in possession of the
 Collateral until and unless Debtor shall be in default under this Security
 Agreement, provided Debtor shall not permit the Collateral to be removed from
 its present location(s) without consent of the Secured Party.

              (d) Sale and Exchange. Debtor shall not, without the written
 consent of the Secured Party, sell, exchange, contract to sell, lease, encumber
 or transfer the Collateral, and whether or not such consent has been obtained,
 the proceeds of such sale, exchange, or transfer shall be applied to the
 obligations secured by this Security Agreement, or become subject to the
 security interest of this Security Agreement, provided, however that nothing
 herein shall be construed to prohibit the sale of Collateral in the ordinary
 course of the Business; or

                   (i) Simultaneously with or prior to such removal any such
 Collateral (to the extent the Collateral may be susceptible of removal) such
 Collateral shall be replaced with other property of a value at least equal to
 that of the replaced Collateral and shall be free from any security interest or
 other encumbrance and from any reservation of title, and by such removal and
 replacement Debtor shall be deemed to have subjected such replacement property
 to this Agreement, or

                   (ii) Any net cash proceeds received from such disposition
 (other than from the collection of accounts receivable in the ordinary course
 of business) shall at the election of the Secured Party, be paid over promptly
 to the Secured Party to be held as security for the performance and payment of
 all obligations secured by this Agreement according to their terms or applied
 to the payment thereof.

                   (ii)  Insurance.

                  (A) Debtor shall keep the Collateral insured for the benefit
of Secured Party against loss by fire and other casualties or risks in such form
and amount, and with such companies, as may be required by Secured Party. Such
insurance policies shall name the Secured Party as an additional insured under
such policies. Debtor agrees to deliver the insurance policies to Secured Party
upon request therefor, and Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party the attorney
for the Debtor in obtaining, adjusting and canceling any such insurance with
respect to the Collateral and in endorsing settlement drafts, and hereby assigns
to the Secured Party all sums which may become payable under such insurance,
including return premiums and dividends, which sums shall serve as additional
security for the indebtedness, provided, however, that in the absence of any
default hereunder or under the Note, Debtor shall have the right to expend such
sums paid by any insurer as a result of any casualty or loss to the Collateral
for any like Collateral, which such like Collateral shall be secured hereunder.
Debtor shall give immediate written notice to the Secured Party and to insurers
of loss or damage to the Collateral and shall promptly file proofs of loss with
insurers.

held by it.

                   (iii) Encumbrances and Taxes. Debtor shall keep the
 Collateral free from all prior security interests, liens, claims, charges, and
 encumbrances, and shall pay when due all taxes and assessments relating to the
 Collateral.

                   (iv) Information. Debtor will keep at its address set forth
 in the first paragraph of the Security Agreement, its records concerning the
 Collateral and promptly make such records available for inspection by the
 Secured Party upon request. Debtor shall furnish promptly to Secured Party any
 other information which the Secured Party may reasonably require, and Debtor

 Collateral, any state, federal or local law or ordinance or in any manner which
 may give rise to any claims or rights of third parties against the Collateral.

                   (viii) Debtor shall indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless
 from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost and expense whatsoever
 arising from Debtor's use, operation, ownership or possession of the
 Collateral, except for such loss, cost or expense resulting from the Secured
 Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                   (ix) Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Party of any
 event causing material loss, theft, damage, destruction or depreciation of the
 Collateral, and the amount thereof, as well as any other matters affecting the

 unrestricted access thereto, all of the express purpose of instituting and
 maintaining a lock box arrangement in respect of Debtor's accounts. The Debtor
 hereby constitutes the Secured Party or its designee as Debtor's
 attorney-in-fact with power to endorse Debtor's name upon any notes,
 acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments or forms of
 payment that may come into the Secured Party's possession; to sign Debtor's
 name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of its accounts, drafts
 against the Debtor's account debtors, assignments and verifications of its
 accounts and notices to the Debtor's account debtors; to notify the Post Office
 authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to the Debtor
 to such address as the Secured Party may designate; and to do all other acts
 and things necessary to carry out a lock box facility. All acts of said
 attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or
 designee shall not be liable for any acts or omission or commission, nor for
 any error of judgment or mistake of act of law; this power being coupled with
 an interest is irrevocable while any obligations of the Debtor arising
 hereunder remain unsatisfied. In addition, upon the occurrence of any Event of
 Default hereunder, or if the Secured Party shall have any reason to believe
 that not all of Debtor's accounts are being paid into such lock boxes, Secured
 Party may itself so notify the account debtors of the Debtor, without notice to
 the Debtor, and direct any and all such accounts to remit such amounts owing
 under the accounts directly to the Secured Party. At its option and in its sole
 business judgment, the Secured Party may collect, bring suit, extend the time
 for payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise upon any
 terms, any of Debtor's accounts or any securities, instruments or insurance
 applicable thereto and/or release the obligor thereon. The Secured Party is
 authorized and empowered to undertake each and every of the foregoing acts
 without notice to or consent of the Debtor, all without discharging or in any
 way affecting Debtor's liability hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be
 construed to constitute the Debtor as an agent of the Secured Party for any
 purpose whatsoever, and the Secured Party shall not be responsible or liable
 for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the
 Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause
 whereof, except to the extent same may result from the Secured Party's own
 gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Secured Party shall not under any
 circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or
 omission or delay of any kind occurring in a settlement, collection or payment
 of any of Debtor's accounts or any instrument received in payment thereof or
 for any damage resulting therefrom. The Secured Party does not by anything
 herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of Debtor's obligations
 under any contract or agreement, and the Secured Party shall not be responsible
 in any way for the performance by Debtor of any of the terms and conditions
 contained herein. At any time subsequent to the occurrence of any Event of
 Default hereunder, the Secured Party shall have the right to instruct the
 Debtor's accountants at Debtor's expense, to verify the balances outstanding on
 any and all of the accounts. Any checks, drafts, money orders, cash, items or
 other instruments processed in the accordance with the foregoing shall be
 applied as of the date received by the Secured Party to any unpaid balance of
 any of the obligations of the Debtor, including but not limited to the
 outstanding balance under the Note, subject to the Secured Party's right to
 debit any such unpaid balance for any dishonored checks, drafts, money orders,
 cash items, or instruments returned by the payor thereof.

              (c) Assembly of Collateral. In the event of default which is not
 cured as provided in Paragraph 6(a), above, the Debtor shall, upon request of
 the Secured Party, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured
 Party at a place reasonably convenient to both parties designated by the
 Secured Party.

              (d) Notice of Disposition. If an event of default (as defined in
 Paragraph 6) has occurred under this Agreement, the Secured Party may sell the
 Collateral at a public or private sale for cash or otherwise. The Secured Party
 shall give the Debtor notice of the time and place of any public sale of any of
 the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other
 intended disposition thereof is to be made by sending notice by first-class
 mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the Debtor at the latest address of
 Debtor appearing on the records of the Secured Party at least five (5) days
 before the time of the sale or other disposition, which provisions for notice
 the Debtor and Secured Party agree are reasonable.

              (e) Application of Proceeds. Any proceeds of any disposition of
 the Collateral, either in whole or in part, shall be applied by the Secured
 Party first to the payment of expenses in connection with the Collateral and
 the disposition thereof, including without limitation, reasonable counsels'
 fees and legal expenses, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by the
 Secured Party to the payment of such of the Obligations secured by this
 Agreement, and in such order of application, as the Secured Party may from time
 to time elect.

              (f) Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party as its agent and
 attorney in fact for the administration of this Agreement, including the sale
 of the Collateral upon default. Such appointment as attorney in fact shall be
 coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

          7. Covenant to Pay Deficiency.

          In the event the sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall be
 insufficient to satisfy the obligations secured by this Agreement and the
 reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the
 like, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
 expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with this Agreement or the
 Obligations secured hereby, the Debtor shall be and remain liable for any and
 all of such deficiency.

          8. Miscellaneous.

              (a) Waiver of Certain Matters. The Debtor expressly waives all
 requirements of presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment
 or dishonor.

              (b) Non-Waiver of Certain Matters. Any failure by the Secured
 Party to exercise any right set forth in this Agreement shall not constitute a
 waiver thereof. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Obligations secured hereby
 shall preclude any other remedy by action or otherwise for the enforcement of
 this Agreement or for the payment in full of the Obligations hereby secured.

              (c) No Discharge. No party to this Agreement shall be discharged
 by any extension of time, additional advances, notice, renewals and extensions
 of the Note, the taking of further security, the extinguishment or release of
 the security interest as to all or any part of the Collateral, or any other act
 or omission, except by release or discharge of the security interest upon the
 full payment of the Obligations secured hereby.

              (d) Succession. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
 the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Debtor and the
 Secured Party. Debtor may not assign its rights or obligations under this
 Agreement without the written consent of the Secured Party.

              (e) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
