Bob Fraser, Executive Director of the SFCWC states, “Bill Hayes was an instrumental veteran judge of the competition that added an extremely high amount of wine expertise to the panels, from his long tenure as category buyer at BevMo and his extensive travels though the wine regions in the world. Bill was one of the warmest, self-effacing, engaging, and personable individuals that I have been proud to associate as a friend. We are dedicating the 2024 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition to Bill Hayes”.
