“We are very excited to have Matt join Bank of Marin’s growing team of wine lending experts as we continue to expand our client base in the wine industry,” said Beth Reizman, Senior Vice President, Commercial Loan Group. “Lending to this industry is complex and requires intimate knowledge of how these businesses operate.
