This week my guest is Mary Allison Wright. A fellow Chattanooga native, Mary and her husband McLain moved to Denver 9 years ago to pursue careers in the Food & Beverage industry. Mary has served both as Membership Director and an Advisor to the board of the Colorado Chapter of the United States Bartending Guild, is a graduate of the Beverage Alcohol Resource Program (BAR 5-DAY), and in addition to her recent roles as the Wine Director of the recently shuttered restaurant Morin and The Proper Pour bottle shop, she is the current Owner of Door Prize, Yacht Club, and a Facilitator at Jelly Bone. While each has its own identity, a common influence throughout is her commitment to genuine hospitality, sustainability, and equity within the industry and beyond. A conscious commitment to health and wellness in her daily life is what allows her to stay focused, energized, and show up for herself and her team. Morin was awarded Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Wine Lists 2019 and Mary was recently named a semifinalist for The Art of Plating Rising Talent Award.
In this episode we chat about Imposter Syndrome, the importance of setting routines, finding balance and acceptance when traveling, and so much more. You can find Mary on IG at @eatdrinkbemaryandmclain, and you can reach out to her at maryallisonwrighg@gmail.com
