Regal Wine Imports

Founded in 1980, Regal Wine Imports is a national importer and wholesale distributor of fine wines, craft beers and spirits. Headquartered in Moorestown, New Jersey, with offices in New York and Delaware, Regal has direct distribution in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Co-founders Dan Bada and Charlie Trivinia have known each other since childhood. Their mothers emigrated to the U.S. together from Le Marches, Italy, and lived in the same house for some time. Dan and Charlie went their separate ways for their university years but later reunited and decided to launch a wine import and distribution business. In the early years, they both performed all aspects of the business from wine selection and purchasing to sales and delivery. Today Dan serves as the company's President and spends most of his time in a Sales capacity while continuing to play a key role in shaping the company's portfolio. Charlie has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, focusing on the firm's day-to-day operations and strategic planning to continue the company's growth. Dan and Charlie believe a positive and respectful company culture along with long-term meaningful relationships with customers and suppliers are the keys to a successful business. For over 40 years, Regal has held true to that vision. With more than 80 employees, three offices and products from 22 countries, Regal continues to be passionate and enthusiastic about its core purpose, to represent quality producers of wines, beers and spirits from around the world.
