John and Kathe Dyson

Proprietors

John and Kathe Dyson purchased Williams Selyem Winery in 1998 from its founders, Burt Williams and Ed Selyem. The Dysons were hand picked as the buyers because Burt and Ed wanted someone already in the wine business and someone who had been on their customer list. As customer number 2080, John and Kathe had been on the list for years and, with Millbrook Winery in New York, as well as vineyards in the Central Coast of California, the Dysons were well qualified to carry on the traditions painstakingly built by the founders.
