About Susie Selby
Susie Selby is the Owner and Winemaker of Selby Winery in Healdsburg, California. A winemaker in the prestigious Sonoma County appellation for over twenty years, Susie has received numerous awards and accolades internationally, has made wine for actors and athletes, and has been featured in the White House under three administrations. Susie is also a published author and an accomplished speaker. She has a BA from Vanderbilt University and an MBA from George Washington University, where she currently sits on the Board of Advisors.
After a visit to wine country with her father, Susie decided she wanted to be a winemaker and literally reinvented herself by starting at the beginning and mastering each step along the way. She began as a tasting room manager, then moved into sales and marketing. She learned about the mechanics of winemaking and became a cellar worker, so she could work with barrels and wine, drive a forklift, manage a cellar and warehouse, and help with harvest and crush. From there, she became an assistant winemaker, thus learning the finer techniques of winemaking.
Susie designed Selby Winery to accommodate her handcrafted approach. She picks, ferments, processes, and even bottles by hand. For most of her lots, she uses small, half-ton bins for extended maceration. She believes that timing is everything. Knowing when to harvest, how long to age, when to blend, when to bottle, and when to release is more than science; it’s an art that is based on experience and intuition, and dependent on nature. Most of all, Susie loves bringing family and friends together through wine. In her free time, she enjoys sports and is a huge fan of the New Orleans Saints and the San Francisco Giants.
About Chef Tim Creehan
Commonly dubbed the Gulf Coast’s “celebrity chef”, Creehan has appeared on numerous television shows, including as host of the Emerald Coast Chefs series. He’s also personally cooked for a slew of high profile celebrities, including Bruce Willis, Jessica Simpson and Rachel Hunter. He served as special chef at the Entertainment Tonight/Getty Images/Gibson Guitar Lodge during the Sundance Film Festival, where he dished up delicacies for the likes of Matthew Broderick, Danny Glover, and Alan Rickman. Recently Emeril Lagasse featured Creehan and Cuvee 30A in an episode of Emeril’s Florida on the Cooking Channel.
Tim Creehan grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and trained under Cordon Bleu French Chef Philippe Parola. He went on to transform John Folse’s Laffites Landing into a culinary landmark, traveling across the country cooking in Central Park, Malibu, Hong Kong and Beijing. Creehan invented and patented Grill Plus instant marinade in 1997, and he has published three cookbooks. He is involved in many local charities such as the Destin Charity Wine Auction. He enjoys sailing to wine and food destinations to further his ongoing education and explore the journey of simplifying his life and his career.
About Selby Winery
Selby Winery was founded in 1994 by Susie Selby, Winemaker, and her father, David K. Selby, M.D. Dr. Selby was a Vietnam war hero, a marble sculptor, and a world-renowned spine surgeon who traveled internationally, primarily to Europe. These trips were instrumental in an affinity for old-world wines that he and Susie shared starting with the first vintages of Selby Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Susie learned to make wine in a hands-on apprenticeship environment, starting as a tasting room manager, then a forklift driver/Cellar Master and eventually becoming the Assistant Winemaker at a larger winery, while still making the Selby Wines.
Prior to his sudden death in 1997, Dave and his wife Nancy, who lived in Dallas, would travel frequently to Wine Country to taste blends with Susie and enjoy the food and wine of the region. After Dave passed away Susie decided to continue the dream of Selby and managed to do it on her own through a lot of hard work and challenges. Today she still has no partners or investors. Selby Winery produces over sixteen different varietals and has won numerous awards and accolades. “Enjoy wine; enjoy life,” will continue to be Susie’s approach to being a winemaker. That expression, like the wines, is a reflection of the passion, the fun and the enjoyment that Susie and Dave shared.
