Scotti Stark brings over three decades of experience in wine, with a career rooted in hospitality, sales, and relationship building.
He currently represents Vineyard 29 in Napa Valley, where he focuses on hospitality and client engagement both on-site and across key markets. Working closely with collectors and guests, Scotti shares the winery’s estate-driven philosophy, centered on expressive, site-specific wines from its St. Helena vineyards, including both valley floor and hillside sites that produce distinct expressions, particularly in Cabernet Sauvignon.
At Telluride Reserve, Scotti will showcase a selection of Vineyard 29 wines that highlight both precision and approachability. These wines reflect the estate’s commitment to site-driven fruit and nuanced winemaking rooted in Napa Valley.
Prior to Vineyard 29, Scotti held leadership roles at Revana Family Vineyards and Fisher Vineyards, where he led sales and hospitality initiatives. Earlier in his career, he served as Wine Director at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse in Houston, where he developed and led a highly regarded wine program during a period in which the restaurant earned “Best Sommelier(s)” recognition from Food & Wine Magazine.
In addition to his work in hospitality, Scotti is the founder of HARUMPH Wines, a boutique Cabernet project sourced from premier Napa Valley vineyards, and Stark Advantage, a concierge service specializing in curated wine and travel experiences.
Known for his deep industry relationships and client-focused approach, Scotti continues to connect collectors and enthusiasts with the best of Napa Valley through Vineyard 29.
