I’m William Ferguson, a wine professional working full time in wine sales and buying. I’m passionate about wine, food, and LGBTQ issues. I am WSET 2 certified! I also love reading, writing, and dogs.

When I first started in this industry I faced discrimination for my sexuality and gender identity. I searched for support, community, and visibility for LGBTQIA+ people in wine. I didn’t find much, so I decided to make my own. In 2020, I started a series in which I highlight LGBTQ wine nerds and professionals, called Pride in Wine. Find out more about me on Instagram and TikTok.
