Growing Up Burgundy: Peter Wasserman

Growing Up Burgundy: Peter Wasserman

Philadelphia native Peter Wasserman is a foodie, traveler, filmmaker and lover of all things Burgundy. His family moved to the region in 1968 and quickly became friends with top producers in the like Aubert De Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée Conti, Hubert de Montille, Guy Roulot and Charles Rousseau.

Growing up in Burgundy meant the table was the focal point and everyone dined chez Wasserman. Culinary luminaries like Richard Olney and The Troisgros Brothers (Jean and Pierre) were habitués so it was at the kitchen table where Peter learned how to properly taste and pair. By the time he was five years old, he was bilingual and often sent to winery tastings to translate for guests.

Since 2003, Peter has worked in sales for the family business, Becky Wasserman & Co., which exports wines from small domaines and shippers in Burgundy and other regions who honor their terroirs. His mother, Becky Wasserman, was one of the first international, female winemakers. Her influence can definitely be felt in Peter's life.

Passionate about giving back, Wasserman established a scholarship program to encourage more diversity in the wine industry.
