Scotti Stark

17301 1 H
For nearly three decades, Scotti Stark has built a career around his passion for wine. From teaching and tasting to production and promotion, he delights in every facet of the trade and loves sharing knowledge with novices and seasoned collectors alike. Working in restaurants to pay his way through college, Scotti had an epiphany after his mentor poured a 1990 Château Léoville Las Cases—an unforgettable moment that set him on a dedicated path. He rose to Wine Director at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse in Houston, where he developed the program and earned a Best Sommelier(s) award from Food & Wine in 2000. In 2004 he moved to Napa Valley to host top clients for Revana Family Vineyard, later developing hospitality programs at Crocker & Starr and Fisher Vineyards. In 2012 he founded Stark Advantage to craft custom itineraries and partnerships that showcase Napa and connect great people to great wines. In 2025 Scotti joined Vineyard 29, further deepening his ties to Napa’s premier producers. Warm, gregarious, and endlessly curious, Scotti sees introducing someone to great wine as pure joy.
