Ep 100 Bobby Stuckey, Master Sommelier/Dalia Maris, Piccolo Bianco, Friuli Colli Orientali, IT 2021

The Long Finish - A Wine Podcast

Kathryn and Tug celebrate episode 100 by interviewing Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey, one of America's most respected wine professionals. Bobby talks about his love for Friuli and all things Italy. Bobby recounts his early career days and how he discovered his passion for restaurants and wine. He explains how he and chef/partner Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson chose Boulder, Colorado as the location for their flagship restaurant, Frasca, in 2004. Since then they have added many other restaurants to the group in Boulder and Denver including Pizzeria Locale, Tavernetta and Sunday Vinyl. The hosts gather tips for breaking into the hospitality industry and how to study wine. It's a fun conversation that covers fine dining, music, exercise, mental health, and how Bobby's wife, Danette, was instrumental in sparking his passion for Italian wine.
