Meet Our Drink Experts

Wine & Spirits Expert

Felipe Diaz

Felipe has been a server and bartender at the Roadhouse for over ten years. While he has always been a go-to person at the Roadhouse for his expertise on wine and spirits, Felipe has held a more integral role in our beverage program for the last several years. During this time, he has provided weekly wine trainings for our team, written several blogs about wines and spirits from our list, and has given us several live Instagram demonstrations of some of our favorite cocktails.

Felipe was also featured in Current Magazine’s Wine Guide 2020. He is especially excited about our recently revamped wine list offering select wines made by women and underrepresented winemakers in the United States. He says, “The rise of more women and people from underrepresented groups in winemaking has been a long time coming. It lets us experience a point of view and a creative approach that has previously been mostly unknown.”

We look forward to learning much more from him!

A self-proclaimed “Origin Forager” Stephen is a food writer, multimedia producer, speaker and founder of Whetstone Magazine, the ground-breaking journal on food origins, culture and anthropology.
