In addition to being a Master of Wine, Mary Margaret has extensive experience in wine sales and education, as well as marketing, writing, and developing wine-related curriculum for both professionals and consumers. In 2024, she established Chasing Burgundy, an education platform that seeks to help wine enthusiasts and students enhance their knowledge on Burgundy. It includes a virtual class component in addition to a subscription publication, Chasing Burgundy: One the Page, where Mary Margaret reflects on nearly two decades of time traveling to and selling the wines of Burgundy through monthly articles.

Coupled with Mary Margaret’s passion for education is a firm belief in equity within the wine industry. In 2020, along with Martin R. Reyes MW and DLynn Proctor, Mary Margaret co-founded Wine Unify, a nonprofit organization that both champions and promotes diversity in the wine industry through mentorship, access to education, and funding for education for underrepresented minorities interested in or working in wine.
