Williams Selyem

Like most good stories, the history of Williams Selyem owes much to chance. If a grower with extra fruit hadn’t given Burt Williams a few tons of free grapes in the 70s, he might never have discovered his love for winemaking, & if Burt & his partner Ed Selyem had been able to afford the Burgundies they both favoured, they might never have tried making their own wine. Together, they set a new standard for American-made Pinot Noir, elevating Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley to among the best wine growing regions in the world and attaining cult-status.
