About Mary
Hi, I’m Yellymary — but most people just call me Mary. After more than 15 years in the wine industry, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned — not just about wine itself, but also about building a career that gives you more freedom, flexibility, and joy while staying true to your passion.
One of the best parts of working for yourself is the freedom to set your own schedule, work from anywhere, and create experiences that truly serve your guests and clients.
This doesn’t have to be just a dream — it can be your reality. Together, we can turn your love of wine into a meaningful career path that fits your lifestyle.
Ask yourself: What could your life look like with more free time, more flexibility, and a career you actually love? I’d love to help guide you toward your wine career goals, and I’ll be there to support you every step of the way.
Cheers!
