Our Wine Associates

Where expertise meets the art of wine

Mary Vallee

Mary Vallee

Sommelier

"What's not to like about wine? It's a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive."
