Where In the World: Rosenthal brings in wine from all over France and Italy, as well as Spain and Switzerland.
Who’s Behind It: Neal Rosenthal is the founder of the eponymous company, which he founded more than 30 years ago after leaving his career as a tax attorney. His first foray in the wine world started behind the counter of his father’s wine store.
