The proprietor of popular wine destination Ordinaire in Oakland, Calif., Taylor moved to Chicago two years ago with his wife and young family for her residency program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The itch to open a shop built slowly over time, particularly as Taylor started to immerse himself in Chicago’s wine scene. Ordinaire is known for its natural and small-production wine selections, which helped Taylor tap into the local market — Red & White, Webster’s Wine Bar and Rootstock all adhere to the same philosophy, that is, minimal intervention and little to no use of chemicals in the vineyard or wine cellar.
