Ep. 549 Steve Raye interviews Dan Kratzer of DMK Incorporated.DANIEL M KRATZER...the wine path started at an early age while Sunday sipping on fresh wines with his  Italian grandfather…very young. Through a diverse restaurant career wine has always given focus. His first wine travel was to Barolo, Piedmont In Northern Italy. This immediately secured the Italian passion for wine and its culture, many thanks to the hospitality of Italians. Through Sommelier positions with all  Italian wine lists, an immersion opportunity arose to work and live in Venice, Italy of course he took it right away. This Sommelier post was for the historic Venice Simplon-Orient Express train. Pouring iconic  bottles at rhythm to a track gage, it was an experience allowing direct study of European wines, European culture, zipping through the heart of Europe. On time off there were multiple days for vineyard and cellar visits. The return to the USA, Kratzer cut his teeth in the cycles of distribution landing in New York City. On  the East Coast and working for a boutique Italian Wine Importer, there was always tastings with direct market work primarily in the NY and Boston wine scenes. The USA market was just seeing the post mid -century growth of Imported wines. This was especially the start to introductions of what Italy has a bounty to offer now, the ancient and historical revival of Vitas Vinifera.

Ep. 549 Dan Kratzer | Get US Market Ready with Italian Wine People

Raised in a small town in Missouri of less than 900 people, with a high school football team of only 20, Coach Dan Kratzer reached the highest level of football as an athlete. Both as a player and a coach he would move from town to town and into the city life, all the while providing for and raising a family.   This hall of fame coach proves, commitment to excellence, is a choice each individual can and should make.  Life has a funny way of putting certain people in our lives at the right time and usually in the right place.  Coach Kratzer learned how to build relationships and recruit, from some of football's giants.  In doing so, he returned the favour to a multiplicity of players who would fall under leadership... one of which was myself. Life lessons, hardships and difficult decisions are all part of growing up, it is the example we learn from others and how we pass it on which becomes the defining moment of success... of greatness... and along the way, if you win a few championships, well that's the icing on the cake. Take the time to enjoy the story of Coach Dan Kratzer the impact he had in the lives of others and those who influenced him.
