Here is a better function I think. It uses the builtin org-contacts
database:

(defun insert-emails-from-tags (tag-expression)
  "insert emails from org-contacts that match the tags expression. For
example:
group-phd will match entries tagged with group but not with phd."
  (interactive "sTags: ")
  (insert
   (mapconcat 'identity
          (loop for contact in (org-contacts-filter)
            for contact-name = (car contact)
            for email = (org-contacts-strip-link (car
(org-contacts-split-property
                                   (or
                                (cdr (assoc-string
org-contacts-email-property
                                           (caddr contact)))
                                ""))))
            for tags = (cdr (assoc "TAGS" (nth 2 contact)))
            for tags-list = (if tags
                    (split-string (substring (cdr (assoc "TAGS" (nth 2
contact))) 1 -1) ":")
                      '())
            if (let ((todo-only nil))
             (eval (cdr (org-make-tags-matcher tag-expression))))

            collect (org-contacts-format-email contact-name email))
          ",")))
