Meet Tabi Ferede, Owner of Palisades Wine & Spirits

Tabi Ferede is the owner of Palisades Wine & Spirits in Pacific Palisades and was our very first account. Before launching our cocktail mixer line, we would frequently pop into her local shop to pick up a great bottle of wine or a hard-to-find liqueur. So it made perfect sense that she was the first person we would approach about carrying our new, certified organic Margarita mix as soon as it became available.

When I dropped off a case the other day I asked Tabi to tell me a little more about her story. She's the type of person who loves to ask people questions and to get to know her customers and vendors on a personal level. Despite all of her successes, she really just wanted to talk about her mother and father. Her parents were both business owners in their Ethiopian town, and entrepreneurs who helped to shape Tabi as a business woman. Tabi stressed how much pride her parents took in helping others and it's clear that she is cut from the same cloth.

Tabi immigrated to the United States with some of her siblings but they all chose different vocations. When the opportunity to own a wine and spirits shop presented itself, Tabi seized the moment and bought the store. As any local Palisadian will know, she is warm and welcoming, and works incredibly hard. She never closed once during COVID and she works seven days a week. We're very grateful to her for taking a chance on us and for the friendship we have developed over the last six years.
