Jesse Becker is a Master Sommelier, a rare and prestigious professional certification awarded by The Court of Master Sommeliers and is a co-owner of Périphérique Wine Merchants. PWM specializes in European wines from a “périphérique,” or circle of regions around the Alps. We believe wines from this Alpine area are the most intense, expressive, and most satisfying. Our wines feature acidity, aromatics, minerality, and balance. We import many of our wines directly from Burgundy, Jura, Northern Italy, and Northern Rhône, and we offer our wines to consumers at pwmwine.com. 

Jesse began his wine career as a clerk in a wine shop in Lincoln, Nebraska and later at K&L Wine Merchants in San Francisco. His training has included three harvests: Miner Family Winery (Napa Valley) in 2001; Maison Camille Giroud (Burgundy) in 2004; and Alphonse Mellot (Sancerre) in 2008. Jesse has worked as a sommelier at some of America's top restaurants including NoMI at the Park Hyatt-Chicago, Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder, Colorado and The Boiler Room Restaurant in Omaha, Nebraska.
