Where can you turn to education and consulting to reach the end consumer as a wine producer? How can an importer and distributor of wine connect consumers to discover and experience wine in a new way?
For Roni Ganich, to be a successful importer of wine begins with learning and understanding the value beyond the bottle. Winemakers are guardians of their creations, and it is a means of communication for connecting people across the globe.
