ABOUT WILLIAMS SELYEM

Like most good stories, the history of Williams Selyem owes much to serendipity. If a grower with an abundance of fruit hadn’t given Burt Williams a few tons of free grapes in the 1970s, Burt might never have discovered his love and flair for winemaking. And if Burt and his partner Ed Selyem had been able to afford the French Burgundies they both favored, they might never have tried making their own Pinot Noir.

Together, Burt and Ed set a new standard for American-made Pinot Noir, and elevated Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley to among the best wine growing regions in the world.

Decades after Williams Selyem Winery produced its first vintage of Pinot Noir in 1981, everyone at the winery, from the owners and winemaking team to the temporary crush help, is still as passionate about making the most luscious, flavorful wines as the crew who made that first vintage. Every person, no matter what his or her job, is truly proud to be a part of the creation of the most highly prized Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Zinfandel.
