William grew up in Homewood, Alabama, and majored in Economics at Birmingham-Southern College. He discovered his passion for wine in a bottle of Pascal Jolivet Sancerre at Highlands Bar & Grill, and shortly thereafter founded an educational wine club for his friends, “Que Syrah, Syrah.”

Upon graduation, he moved to Washington, DC, and became the youngest wine salesperson in the history of Calvert Woodley Wines & Spirits. After two years on the sales floor, he was promoted to Director of Wine Imports, managing the shop’s purchasing and logistics for Bordeaux and Rhône futures. In that role, he was fortunate enough to travel to Bordeaux for the en primeur campaign and fondly remembers tasting the legendary 2009 and 2010 vintages out of barrel. He joined The Country Vintner in 2013 as a Fine Wine & Craft Spirits Salesperson and enjoyed watching the rise of the restaurant scene in Washington, DC for over six years. Through this position, he discovered a passion for the wines of Madeira, Chateau Musar, Italy, South Africa, and others. Since 2019, he has been the regional sales manager for Richmond-based Broadbent Selections. You may spot him around the mid-Atlantic, spreading the gospel of good wine with a bottle in hand wherever he goes. When he’s not sharing a bottle of delicious wine, you’ll find him playing with his son, Miller, or walking his beagle, Otis (a very good boy.)

Doug was born and raised in Detroit and attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Those two things explain a lot about him. After graduating, he returned to Detroit and got bit by both the restaurant and wine bug.

Working in a downtown French Bistro, he tasted a white Graves, and “the lightbulb went off.” His restaurant career took him across the country and back again. In Santa Fe, he owned his own place, E.K. Mas. He moved to Oakland and worked at San Francisco’s iconic Zuni Café, and then opened and managed Rubicon with Chef Traci des Jardins and Sommelier Larry Stone. Next stop was Washington D.C., where he worked at Vidalia with Chef Jeff Buben. He became Vidalia’s sommelier and for several years ran one of DC’s top wine programs. Importantly, it was here he first met Roy and began his relationship with the V59 family of growers.

After Vidalia, he became a portfolio manager for Henry Wine Group, East Coast, and then moved into sales with The Country Vintner (now Winebow), where he first managed the DC Team and eventually Maryland and Delaware as well. Doug is thrilled to be part of Vintage 59 and to represent producers and families he has been fortunate enough to get to know over years of visiting and tasting with them in DC and in France. He lives in southern Maryland, just outside of the District.

His joys are his three children, Isabella, Nicholas and Elias, food and wine, and all good things—and there are many—Detroit and Michigan.
