Meet Our Chief Concierge
Molly Taylor – Chief Concierge
Growing up in Sonoma Valley, I was immersed in wine country from an early age, developing a genuine appreciation for the people, places, and stories that make the region so special. With more than 20 years of experience in luxury hospitality, including roles within both the hotel and winery industries, I’ve had the opportunity to build my career throughout the Central Coast, Napa Valley, and Sonoma Valley.
I have a true passion for wine and especially enjoy introducing visitors from around the world to the incredible diversity of wine country—from renowned, iconic estates to intimate, family-owned wineries where the experience feels personal and authentic. I love helping guests discover not only great wines, but also the character and stories behind the places they visit.
When I’m not sharing my love of wine country with others, you’ll likely find me at the beach with a chilled bottle of Rosé or curled up by a fireplace with a glass of Pinot Noir. For me, wine is about more than what’s in the glass—it’s about the setting, the people, and the memories created along the way.

Judgment of Napa 2026 – October 5th
Judgment of Napa 2026 takes place on October 5th at Freemark Abbey in St. Helena, marking the 50th anniversary of the legendary 1976 Judgment of Paris, the blind tasting that shocked the wine world when California beat France. This year, 20 of the world’s most prestigious wines will be poured blind once again, curated by a Master of Wine and a Master Sommelier, before an intimate gathering of global wine icons, collectors, critics, and industry leaders.
The Judges
This extraordinary occasion brings together some of the most respected names in wine: Jancis Robinson MW, Tor Kenward, Philippe Melka, Jesse Katz, Chris Carpenter, Paul Hobbs, Aaron Pott, and Angelina Mondavi.
The Witnesses
What makes Judgment of Napa truly singular is what happens beyond the tasting table. For the first time ever on US soil, key figures from the original 1976 Paris tasting will be reunited: Patricia Gastaud-Gallagher, Spurrier’s American business partner who conceived the original tasting to showcase emerging quality in California wines; Bella Spurrier, Steven’s wife, whose impromptu photographs remain the only visual record of that historic day; and family members of TIME magazine reporter George Taber, whose coverage and subsequent book Judgment of Paris brought the story to the world.
