I don't think that there's much mystery about RP's favorite importers:
he regularly lauds them in the pages of the WA. Off the top of my head,
you've got Bobby Kacher, Therry Thiese, Leonardo LoCasio, Kermit
Lynch, Martine Saunier, Daniel Johnnes and Jorge Ordoņez. Can't say I
recall seeing Da Beppe in dose pages, but maybe I need to look harder ;-)
