Neal Rosenthal started in 1978 as a one-man retail operation outside the mainstream. Joined by his partner Kerry Madigan, they expanded RWM into an importer and distributor of fine wine and specialty food products. The objective from the outset was to work as directly as possible with growers who were dedicated to producing limited quantities of the finest quality wines and who shared the RWM passion for terroir, that ephemeral ‘sense of place’. Tony McClung, RWM’s National Sales Director, has been a member of their small and passionate team for the past several years and travels twice a year to visit each producer so that the nuances of each domaine can be captured and communicated.

Beginning in 1995 with six wines from Apulia, Haw River Wine Man has quietly compiled an Italian wine portfolio that stands out in North Carolina for both quality and price. With a firm belief that wine is an every day beverage, and not the exclusive domain of the wealthy and privileged, the company strives to bring the consumer the best value possible, more often than not, sourcing wine direct from the producer. In 2006 we were pleased to announce a new collaboration with Rosenthal Wine Merchant, one of the most respected importers of French and Italian wines in the country.
