Based in Los Angeles, Ben Andersen is our West Coast Representative (CA, OR, WA, NV, HI). Ben got his start in wine right out of college in 1995, when he began working in a shop in Virginia, and from there he went on to take a sales and then sales manager position with a large distributor in VA. He joined us in 2008, after an 8 year run working in pharmaceutical and medical device sales and indulging his passion for wine by moonlighting as a buyer for a retail shop + wine bar in Virginia (becoming the top Rosenthal client in that state!).







A native of New Jersey, Mark comes to us after a brief but intense career as a CPA. His arrival marks a new level of financial controls for RWM. Mark’s main focus will be on our numbers, both dollars and bottles, but Mark will be working closely with every aspect of the RWM’s day-to-day business which will provide a good deal of support to the entire team. With Mark’s arrival, we now have three men called Mark, Marck and Marc. Maybe a nickname, or two is in order.
Jess has framed her life to be at the nexus of wine and art having spent the past 8 years building her wine knowledge selecting wines for and managing both a wine bar and several retail wine establishments all while expressing her talents as an artist in the design of collage and greeting cards. To complete her personal picture, Jess is also the center of her family as wife and mother.
Dillon Lerach, a recent (2017) graduate of Columbia University, joins the RWM staff after a brief introductory stint in the wine trade at a high profile distributor. Dillon’s talents are many and include a mastery of multiple languages (English, French, German) and proficiency in several other tongues (Gaelic, Latin, Russian). Despite his youth, his wine knowledge is deep and he has traveled extensively. His tasks at RWM include developing material for the website, insuring accuracy of information provided, assisting in developing the curriculum for the nascent educational program to be launched by RWM and reporting from the field on current developments at the various estates that form the RWM portfolio.
