Bill has had a passion for wine for many years. Inspired while travelling Europe, Bill started working in the industry in Napa, California. He worked for Buena Vista Winery while studying viticulture in the evenings at a local community college. A year later, he went to work for Acacia Winery. Bill worked at Acacia for 13 years, first as cellar master, and later as vineyard manager. After Acacia Winery, he moved to Bouchaine Vineyards as an oenologist and associate winemaker.

Bill is absolutely thrilled to be making premium boutique wine in Idaho at Sawtooth Winery.
