With tenures at world-renowned restaurants such as The Little Nell in Aspen, CO and The French Laundry in Yountville, CA, Bobby Stuckey has cultivated wine programs and championed hospitality, garnering numerous accolades, including the James Beard Foundation's Outstanding Wine Service Award in 2000. With the vision of opening a neighborhood restaurant reminiscent of the Italian frascas they had visited in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Stuckey and his business partner, chef Lachlan Mackinnon Patterson opened their first restaurant, Frasca Food and Wine, in August 2004 in Boulder, CO. The same year, Stuckey also earned the Master Sommelier Diploma from the Court of Master Sommeliers. Today, Stuckey wears many hats with ownership in Frasca Food and Wine, Pizzeria Locale Boulder, Pizzeria Locale (fast casual spin-off restaurant, in partnership with Chipotle Mexican Grill), and Scarpetta Wines.
