Hannah Williams

Hannah grew up in Miami, and escaped to New York City to study English and Creative Writing at Barnard College. It wasn’t until she moved to Scotland for a semester abroad and joined The University of Edinburgh Wine Society and Blind Tasting Team when she was truly bitten by the wine bug.

Hannah decided to trade academia for wine upon returning to New York City, and scored an internship as a Tasting Department Intern at Wine & Spirits Magazine. The desire to learn the world of hospitality and professional wine service landed her a position on the opening wine team of La Sirena Ristorante.

Hannah joined Blue Hill at Stone Barns in March 2017, bringing her love of Champagne and Barolo to the Hudson Valley. She was promoted to Beverage Director of the Grand Award-winning Program in 2019. Hannah also achieved her Advanced Sommelier Certification with the Court of Master Sommeliers and was nominated as one of Wine & Spirits 'Best New Sommeliers' that same year. She published 'This is Not a Wine List' through Blue Hill- a wine list turned book- and recently joined the team at Thatcher's Wine & Imports as the Head of East Coast Sales.

She is currently pursuing her Master Sommelier Diploma, and lives in Brooklyn with her husband and spirited dog, Dujac.
