Kori Blacker Tafoya

Kori is the managing partner of Royal Palm Village Wine & Tapas. While obtaining her degree in international business, Kori worked in the restaurant industry. Serving at a restaurant in New York City was where she found her passion for wine and became certified as a Sommelier. Working here in the market, she met her business partner who was a wealth of knowledge in the industry. He wanted to open a package store at the Beaches, and after a couple years of contemplating the offer, Kori devised the concept of Royal Palm.
