Episode 278: Confessions of a wine bar owner

One of Los Angeles’ best wine bars has just closed its doors for the final time. On today’s episode we speak to Rebecca Phillips about her time behind the bar as the owner of Vintage, a place that defined a neighborhood through bottles and laughter. She shares some of her craziest experiences, and we attempt to understand what disappears when we lose a local watering hole. Today’s episode is brought to you by Wine Paris.
