An Atlanta native, Taylor earned her B.A. in English and French Literature from Colgate University, whose proximity to New York wineries sparked her love affair with wine. After graduating, she attended Ecôle Hotelière de Genève in Switzerland, a 15-month culinary program that encouraged exploration of French, German, and Italian wine countries. Taylor then headed back stateside to Florida to manage at Bern’s Steakhouse, famous for its extensive wine collection. In August 2001, noting a lack of spunky wine coverage for everyday people, she launched a wine education column, Corkscrew. Today, she is syndicated internationally, conducts wine seminars, and makes numerous television appearances.
