The VinePair Podcast: The Latest News in RNDC’s Ongoing Struggles

VinePair contributing editor Dave Infante broke the news this week on Republic National Distributing Company’s (RNDC) plans to sell a portion of its operation to Reyes Beverage Group, the largest beer distributor in the U.S. The CEO of RNDC, Marc Sachs, announced the acquisition in an internal email obtained by VinePair.

This week on the “VinePair Podcast,” Dave joins Adam, Joanna, and Zach to discuss his report on the wholesaler’s plans to sell off business in seven states. Will this move potentially slow the bleeding for RNDC, which pulled out of California entirely in 2025 and has been losing suppliers left and right? Or does this signal even more sell-offs?

Join us for a live podcast recording at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento, Calif., on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026
