As beverage director, Paul Peterson works closely with the culinary team to craft a wine list that complements and accentuates Bouchon's classic French bistro cuisine. Drawing mainly from the wine making regions of California and France, he selects wines that offer a window into their distinct terroir.

Prior to joining Bouchon in Las Vegas in 2005, Paul owned and operated the Café Madrid in Salt Lake City, Utah, which was named Best Neighborhood Restaurant by Bon Appetit magazine in 2002. While supervising the day to day operations of the restaurant, he channeled his passion for wine into building a renowned Spanish wine list.

Paul holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Management from the University of Massachusetts in Boston, MA.
