Mary, a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers, has been involved in the Oregon and California wine communities for several years. With a passion for education, combined with a passion for wine, Mary learned early that combining both became a full time job. Mary has worked in the wine industry in roles such as Tasting Room Manager, Event Coordinator and General Manager where she has been involved in day to day operations, customer and employee service, marketing, direct and internet sales, distribution management, and staff training. Through events, tastings and seminars, Mary realized that most people want to know more about wine and sometimes just need a friendly and attentive individual who will listen and answer questions and walk them through the diverse world that the wine community is.
