Wine Pros On The Go
Wine Pros On the Go is a podcast for anyone who loves great stories, meaningful experiences, and wants to feel more confident about wine.
Hosted by sommelier, wine educator, and storyteller Lauren Crim, the show blends wine, travel, culture, humor, and conversation to explore the people, places, and experiences behind every sip. Lauren is passionate about making wine approachable, transforming technical wine concepts into engaging, relatable stories that are easy to understand and impossible to forget.
Known for her signature blend of education and “Sommedy” (sommelier + comedy), Lauren delivers practical wine knowledge with wit, curiosity, and a refreshingly human perspective. Whether she's exploring a grape variety, interviewing industry leaders, or uncovering the history of a wine region, her goal is simple: make wine less intimidating, more memorable, and a lot more fun.
Because great wine isn't just what's in the glass—it's the people, places, stories, and experiences that turn moments into memories.
Wine Pros on the Go is produced in Atlanta, GA.

Phillip Stice: The Wine Renaissance Man

In this episode of Wine Pros on the Go, we sit down with one of the wine industry's true Swiss Army knives: Phillip Stice, owner of Specialty Wines Distributors and a man who has spent a lifetime seeing the wine world from nearly every angle imaginable.
Long before Phillip was building portfolios and representing family-owned wineries, his family's story in wine began during the Prohibition era in Napa Valley. That legacy planted a seed that would eventually grow into a career spanning retail floors, vineyard rows, cellar work, sales territories, and entrepreneurship.
Most wine professionals spend their careers mastering one corner of the industry. Phillip decided to explore all of them.
Join us as we follow his journey from stocking shelves and selling bottles to making wine and ultimately launching his own distribution company. Along the way, we'll discuss the realities of the wine business, the challenges facing family-owned wineries, what makes a great wine partner, and why relationships remain the most important currency in the industry.
Part history lesson, part business masterclass, and part conversation among friends, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the people who help great wines find their way from vineyard to glass.
Whether you're a wine enthusiast, industry professional, or simply curious about what happens between the winery and your favorite bottle shop, Phillip's story is a reminder that wine is ultimately a people business—and few people know it better than he does.
