Bobby Stuckey: The Art of Hospitality

Bobby Stuckey has spent his career proving that great hospitality isn't about perfection—it's about making people feel something. In this episode of Wine Pros on the Go, Lauren sits down with the legendary Master Sommelier, restaurateur, and co-founder of Frasca Hospitality Group for a conversation about wine, restaurants, leadership, and the art of taking care of people. Bobby shares the journey that took him from washing dishes to some of America's most celebrated dining rooms, including The Little Nell and The French Laundry, before building Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colorado. They explore what it really takes to create a world-class restaurant, why hospitality remains a craft worth protecting, and the lessons wine has taught him far beyond the table. They also dive into Friuli, the philosophy behind Scarpetta Wine, mentorship, endurance, and what decades in hospitality have taught Bobby about staying curious, relevant, and deeply human. Warm, candid, and full of perspective, this is a conversation about much more than wine—it's about building a life around excellence without losing sight of the people it's meant to serve. Wine. Stories. Well Lived. Wine Pros on the Go is produced in Atlanta, GA.
