About Wine Savoygnon
Savoygnon seeks to offer wines from underrepresented winemakers and regions in the industry. We advocate for the less than 12% of winemakers who are Indigenous, Black, Latine/o/a/x, Asian, LGBTQIA+ and who produce amazing wines.
The story and inspiration behind Wine Savoygnon™ began 15 years ago.
Christina Taylor and a friend were at a popular lounge in Atlanta, listening to live music when she encountered wine from a Black winemaker for the first time in life. As she was enjoying the evening, she asked for a glass of white wine to elevate the night and looking at the wine list, she spotted several from South Africa including a Sauvignon Blanc dessert wine, Bukettraube, by Seven Sisters Winery. And after taking one sip, her life was changed with every perfect sip of a beautiful white blend from Black women from Africa.
It was also around this time, Allen Taylor III would visit the local wine shop in Durham, NC. This local wine shop offered complimentary wine tastings on Saturdays, which was a can't beat bargain for an inquisitive college student. It was there that he encountered great tasting wines at an affordable cost and discovered that wines are not just for the wealthy and elite.
Wine Savoygnon™ celebrates the diverse and underrepresented winemakers that make approachable wine for all. We proudly and exclusively offer those wines to savvy Savoy drinkers.
