Sonya Phillips has enormous amounts of industry experience and has been a much valued member of our Missouri wine community for many years.  She has worked on both the wholesale and supplier side of the wine industry.  She started her career as a sales rep for in a Missouri wholesaler’s fine wine division, building a territory from the ground up with lots of hard work and cold calls.  Her ability to connect with, listen to and analyze the needs of her client base afforded her much success in outside sales and she remained a wholesale wine consultant for 12 years. Sonya moved to the supplier side of things with Quintessential Wines, a family owned and operated company headquartered in Napa, as Regional Sales Manager of the Mid-West.  Relationships, people and good wine are Sonya’s priorities.
