Mary Taylor Pours Mary Taylor Wines!

Cost: Free

“When Navigating the Mysteries of Wine, Let Mary Taylor Be Your Guide.” That’s what Forbes Magazine wrote a couple of years ago. And if you like wines that taste of place, deliver loads of delicious satisfaction, and don’t bust your wine budget, it’s pretty good advice!

Don’t take our word for it. Come to the shop Saturday and meet Mary as we pour 15 of her deeply authentic and tasty wines from around Europe. All on sale at even better than usual prices.  See the full line-up here – the wines, and prices, are going to make your mouth water.

What all these wines have in common (besides being delicious values – especially on sale!) is that they were selected personally by former cheese monger and sommelier and now importer Mary Taylor. 

Mary’s approach is pretty simple. First she travels the side- and back-roads of Europe, focusing on under-appreciated or even forgotten wine regions of excellent potential. Then she looks for real people with real connections and passions for those places and real talent and commitment when it comes to growing great wines. She works with the producers to select bottlings that express the essence of their vineyards AND deliver enormous drinking pleasure at very, very, good prices. Then she puts a nice, clean, straightforward white label on the bottle so you know where it’s from – the place, and the project.

We’ve selected 15 Mary Taylor wines to showcase her approach and reach, wines ranging from obscure grapes on barren soils of northern Spain to classics like Bordeaux and Burgundy. The flavors and aromas are all over the place – really, there’s something for everyone here!

But what the wines all share is a connection to real people and specific places and seasons. And great value prices. No fee and no RSVP needed to meet Mary and taste the wines. Just round up a crew of wine-loving friends and join us!
