After a few months, she was asked by the winemaker to work the harvest as a season intern and the rest is history.  After getting a taste of wine production, Rachel was hooked on the industry as a whole and the romance of making wine.  For the past 8 years, she has worked in multiple capacities for both the vineyard and winery operations at Robert Young.  Rachel is looking forward to expanding her experience and palate (from Cabernet to Pinot Noir) working with the team at Williams Selyem.

Rachel lives in Cloverdale with her husband, Chad and their spunky 3-year-old, Reese.  When not at work, she enjoys assisting Chad with his woodworking projects, getting outside and sharing a meal and wine with family and friends.
