Williams Selyem
Burt Williams and Ed Selyem were among the first "garagiste" Pinot Noir producers in Sonoma County and their wines reached such heights of excellence that their own popularity eventually drove them out of the business in 1997. Their interesting story has been well-detailed in the PinotFile. In 1997, they sold the winery (really just a name as they owned no vineyards or winery) for nine million dollars to businessman John Dyson. He brought on winemaker Bob Cabral, built a winery on Westside Road, planted vineyards (they now own 70 acres), sought out new vineyard sources, and kept the Williams Selyem flag flying high. The wines are sold primarily through a large mailing list.
