2020 Mary Taylor Pascal Biotteau Anjou Blanc
Massachusetts native, Mary Taylor, began her own wine importing company with the intention of focusing on Old World wines. Mary seeks out small, organic or biodynamic producers to make wine under her label, and she also collaborates with two small cooperatives, one in Bordeaux and the other in Saint-Pourçain, France. She works with growers mostly in France, but also Italy, Portugal, and Spain. Mary highlights ‘taste of place,’ reminding us that it’s the combination of grape and terroir that makes wine fascinating and delicious.
