The 53-year-old has been banned from driving for 15 months and fined ￡1,500.
She will also have to resit her driving test.
Jersey Magistrates Court was told Ms Taylor committed the offence in October, when she hit the wall near St Clement’s Parish Hall on Grande Route de la C？te.
A blood sample was found to contain 111mg of alcohol per 100ml. The legal limit is 80mg.
Assistant Magistrate Peter Harris warned Ms Taylor if she didn't pay the fine, she would spend six weeks in prison.
Jersey police launched an annual anti-drink-driving campaign recently, with a greater number of road checks being carried out in the past few weeks.
Hundreds of vehicles have been stopped since the initiative began at the start of the month.

Ms Taylor was born in Cleethorpes, near Grimsby, Lincolnshire, and moved to Jersey around 30 years ago.
She became widely known in the Island following the launch of ITV’s Real Housewives of Jersey show.
On the ITV website, she describes herself as a "happy go lucky girl" who "loves to party", as well as being a fundraiser for a number of charities.
Filming for the show’s second series began in April after a 10-episode series aired from December last year.
It was originally scheduled to air late that month but it is now unclear when it will be broadcast.
