Store Brands, the trade magazine with its finger on the pulse of the Private Label industry, has recognized two Rack & Riddle employees as “Rising Stars” in the Private Brands sector for a feature in the July/August 2020 issue.
In the article, “RISING STARS IN PRIVATE LABEL 2020,” (pp. 32-42) Manveer Sandhu, Director of Winemaking, and Gabriel (Gabe) Markowitz, Account Exective, are profiled as two of 45 rising stars to keep an eye on:
Store Brands says the following about Manveer and Gabe in the article:
Manveer Sandhu, director of winemaking, Rack & Riddle Custom Wine Services
“Having risen in the ranks from lab manager to the head of winemaking, Sandhu has put a lot of time in to learn every level of the craft of winemaking, across every department. In his role now, he oversees the team in all aspects of production and is preparing to fill the shoes of the director of the department who is retiring. Sandhu has been stepping up to the challenge
admirably.”
Gabriel Markowitz, business development account manager, Rack & Riddle Custom Wine Services
“Markowitz has created several private brand wines for retailers that are on shelves now in top-flight stores. The wines are crafted from Northern California grapes and his innate understanding of trends in the industry has helped create some great wines for retailers and strengthen partnerships to grow further. In one varietal in particular, he’s been able to reach customers of all size to educate & expand opportunities for Méthode Champenoise Sparkling Wine, and he’s established himself as a leader in the Domestic Sparkling market. He has been the bridge for clients seeking to provide these high-quality bubbles to their consumers.”
Congratulations to both of these men for their well-deserved recongnition. We are proud to have them on our team, stewarding our advancement in the Store Brands wine sector.
