Bill "the Bowler" Zuur

Bill Zuur was one of the first employees of the Tasting Room when it opened in September2003. His Tasting Room career started after his wife Nancy had a brief discussion with her friend Julie Maas, the assistant CFO at Toad Hollow. The conversation went something like “Do you guys have anything that my husband can do?  I need him to get out of the house” the rest, as they say, is HISTORY. When not working at Toad Hollow, Bill enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren. He is a self employed licensed Private Fiduciary and also enjoys golf, handyman work, travel and good books.
