A Los Angeles native, Taylor received her BA in Communication at UC Santa Barbara, and spent 2 years at Paradigm Talent Agency before shifting her career to wine. She started work at a small winery in 2010 as well as a wine shop before she embarked upon a fateful family trip to Europe. That’s where her “aha moment” came, while she overlooked the Cote-Rotie.
Upon her return home she worked at many of LA’s top restaurants – From Sommelier at Michelin- starred Osteria Mozza, to Wine Director for Scopa Italian Roots, Old Lightning, and Dama under famed chef Antonia Lofaso.

Taylor holds an Advanced Level Certification with the Court of Master Sommeliers, and was named one of Food & Wine Magazine’s Sommeliers of the Year for 2019.
