Roni Ginach is an importer and distributor of natural wine made by a community of savants connected by a common joie de vivre. The company was founded in 2017 when Tony Coturri, California’s grandfather of natural wine, needed a hand with his Los Angeles distribution, and he asked her to help him out. From there, Roni Selects grew organically until it finally found its form as a home and platform for producers working at the radical margins and origins. Now representing winemakers from France, Germany, Italy, The US, Spain, Greece and Georgia, the wines are available in markets around the country. 

Before starting Roni Selects, Ginach worked as a sommelier and consultant in celebrated restaurants in New York and Los Angeles. She is firmly committed to generating holistic sustainability in the wine industry and creating a status quo of accountability and equity, working under the assumption that wine as a medium acts as a mode of communication, creating space and community. She is a graduate of Oberlin College and The New York Graduate School of Psychoanalysis.
