Here's What Our Clients Have To Say
"Lanterna has proven to be a vital partner in providing a wide variety of products to our customers, while also affording us the ability to add profit to our bottom line. It's the type of service, selection and satisfaction you don't see from the larger distributors who are just interested in moving boxes into your store. It is a real partnership that works for everyone."
D.M.
Retail Wine Store
"Lanterna Distributors has been a true partner in helping grow our business. They have provided us with an amazing selection of unique wine and spirits that allow us to differentiate our retail store and maximize margin. Their customer service is the best in the business."
M.F.
Retail Wine Store
"Lanterna has been top-notch in providing beyond service to their customers. When we added Graham + Fisk to our lineup, Katie was a strategic part of getting our multiple locations up in record time. She's made ordering a cinch, even if it had to happen on an off day. The service doesn't just stop at ordering, the drivers are awesome and are always providing service with a smile."
