Mary Taylor

Wednesday, Jan 15 2025

Mary Taylor is so proud of her selections, she puts her name on the FRONT of the bottle.

You might remember reading one of my emails from awhile back, "Check the B-Side," in which I discuss shopping for wine by importer. It's a smart and safe way to shop, should you find yourself outside the bounds of your trusted local retailer.

Whenever you find a bottle you love that came from somewhere other than the US of A, just flip to the back label and take note of the importer. If you start seeing the same name pop up more than once or twice, you may have found a match.

For Mary's White Label wines, though, there's no need to flip to the back. For these special selections-- which are all budget-friendly, and sometimes from off-the-grid terroirs-- Mary puts her name right on the front.

It's a bold move by a bold woman who happens to have great taste, and a knack for (quite literally) sniffing out quality wines, and finding a way to bring them to our kitchen tables at "everyday" price points.

Join us this Wednesday, Jan. 15 to meet Mary and taste through a sampling of her White Label wines at Faubourg from 5-7 pm:

Clara Sala Sicilia Bianco
Christophe Avi Agenais Rosé
Finca El Molar Macabeo (Orange)
JM Barthez Bordeaux Rouge

As always, tasting fee is $5/person, refundable with any same-day purchase at Faubourg Wines.

We'll also have the Clara Sala Sicilia Bianco available by the glass this week and through the weekend!

See you at the shop!

Gift Cards, Not Stuff

Giving gift cards from your favorite local businesses is so much better than giving "stuff"! It's giving great experiences, too. Imagine giving someone...

A treasured hour of alone time in a cozy coffee shop.

Laughs with friends over a glass of wine- and a bottle to take home- after a long day of work.

A nudge to get out of the house and connect with other people.

The treat of discovering something local, unique, and beautiful.

A nurturing salon or spa treatment of the recipient's choosing.

The possibilities are endless!

Giving your local loved ones gift cards purchased directly from small local merchants is a great way to support our vital, diverse small business community at a time when it's badly needed.

You can purchase a physical gift card for any amount in-person at Faubourg. Or, click here to send an e-gift card via email OR text. You can even schedule the email or text to arrive on a specific date.

Spread joy and support the small businesses YOU love by giving gift cards for the holidays. It's so easy!

XOXO, 🧡 Faubourg Wines

Do you know this dog?

We found this sweet dog at the shop last week and posted it to our instagram.

Usually it cross posts to our facebook but for some reason it did not in this case. So we are posting it now :)

They do have a chip, but apparently they have not been able to contact the owner. But all they were able to really tell us is that they are registered and what their name is.

We are still looking for leads so if you have any information please reach out to 318.470.4621 and help us reconnect them :)

Thanks!

Always Ask Questions

I know we're in Deep Gras right now, and no one cares about reading emails. But, in addition to filling you in on our Mardi Gras hours, I want to share a quick story:

Recently a young man came to us in search of a special bottle for a special date. After being guided to a great selection, he purchased the bottle, then walked out. A few moments later, he re-entered. We thought maybe he had changed his mind, and decided to return the bottle.

Instead, what he said was, "How does the cork come out?"

Naturally, he received a lesson in the use of a double-hinged waiter's corkscrew. With Natalie's guidance, he was able to extract the cork himself on the first try.

He made our day, and he also inspired me to remind all of you, regardless of your level of wine expertise, or lack thereof-- never hesitate to ask questions! We really are so very happy to help.

Mardi Gras Hours

Over the Weekend: Normal Hours, 12-7

Monday: Lundi Gras Emergency Hours, 1-4
