TAYLOR REBORA
TAYLOR REBORA is a lover of wine, clay and hard work. Born and raised in Chicago, she got her start making wine by working in the cellar at an urban winery. That passion took her to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where she studied Wine & Viticulture and Sustainable Agriculture. During her studies, she worked as a ceramics instructor and taught other students wheel throwing. Vintages in California, New Zealand, South Africa, and Oregon bolstered her winemaking knowledge under the watchful eye of many beloved and wildly inspiring mentors. Her combined interest in wine and pottery naturally drew her towards Beckham. Taylor adores animals, friendship and nature. She has a strong proclivity towards land stewardship and is always working to further her knowledge in regenerative agriculture. She loves clean crush pads, Jim Croce, and flare pants. You can find Taylor in the winery, the tasting room, with the bees, or anywhere around the property where she can be a helping hand.
