Bobby Stuckey MS Returns: Lessons on Service, Leadership, and Lasting Hospitality


Listen Later

In this episode, Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey returns to the Vint Wine Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on the art of hospitality, the evolving role of the sommelier, and the deep connections forged through thoughtful service. From his early days bussing tables after being expelled from school, to building one of America’s most respected restaurant groups, Bobby shares the personal philosophy that guides his work on the floor, in the cellar, and as a leader.

We explore what defines a great sommelier, the enduring importance of humility and guest-focused service, and why social media influence is no substitute for decades of commitment. Bobby also reflects on the continued growth of Frasca Hospitality Group, the complexities of operating in a luxury hotel setting, and the expansion of his Scarpetta wine label in Friuli, Italy. Along the way, he shares stories that reveal why graduation dinners and post-surgery guests in Vail can be as instructive as any textbook on hospitality.

This episode is essential listening for those passionate about wine, committed to service, or building something with lasting impact.

🎧 Topics include:

  • The realities and misconceptions of the sommelier profession
  • The rising profile of Italian wines and why Friuli matters
  • How great restaurants build meaningful guest experiences
  • The line between hospitality and performance
  • Burnout, intergenerational leadership, and cultivating long-term culture
