I’ve enjoyed working with Ralf on our bulk wine sourcing for the past five years and have known him for well over a decade personally and professionally.
The highest complement I can pay is that he is of the utmost transparency providing high quality products at competitive pricing.
His integrity is second to none and in a business with many fly by night operators, he is a trusted resource whose sourcing capabilities I trust inherently and whose personal and professional friendship I value immensely.

I met Ralf when he was export manager at Sting & Trudie’s Tenuta Palagio in Tuscany. He did a great job supporting us at the market (tastings, visiting customers with our commercial team…) and organizing events and incentives at the estate. He brought together the different importers from all over the world, which was very interesting to share experiences and creativity and create new friendships. Then he joined John Malkovich’s new project in France, where he immediately involved us as professionals in defining the strategy of the winery. He was/is always open about everything, which makes working with him very straight forward.
