RJ CONLEY

  • Where do you hail from?

    The frigid tundra of Wisconsin.  A small town named Delafield that I’m sure no one has ever heard of.

  • What secret do you spill after the third beer?


    I’ve never seen The Sopranos or The Godfather.  I guess mobster movies aren’t my thing?

  • What have you been drinking from Fancy Free?


    A lot skin contact wine recently; it’s a category I don’t have much experience with, and I’m always looking to learn more about the new ways wine makers are experimenting with traditions that have been around for thousands of years. I’m also developing my gin palate - Wilder Gin from Ventura Spirits really surprised me.

  • What subject could you teach a master class on?


    Table top games like 'Dungeons and Dragons’ are a huge passion of mine outside the shop. I totally identify with the nerd culture that is prevalent in pop culture, and it’s our time to shine goddammit haha (don’t put that in the bio).

  • if you’re working at the shop, what are we listening to?


    Led Zeppelin’s Greatest Hits. Jimmy Page is a Rock n Roll God.

  • guilty pleasure?

    Lizzo! She’s a queen, but she don’t need no crown.
