Greg Bechtel, Wine Consultant
October 11th
Gregg grew up in Kutztown, Pennsylvania and graduated from Elizabethtown College in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English.  Unsure of his next move, he took a job with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board as a part-time liquor store clerk.  During mandatory wine training, Gregg had his “ah-ha moment” tasting a sample of Trimbach Pinot Gris, and he started experimenting with wines from all over the world. Gregg quickly started managing shifts all over the Lehigh Valley where his interest in wine grew further.  When the Retail Wine Specialist position was created, Gregg was promoted to run the Media store’s Fine Wine and Good Spirits luxury wine program. Lucky for him, Gregg’s much better half already lived in Media, so he was able to live and work in “Everybody's Hometown.” After 6-1/2 years servicing Media's wine needs and earning Certified Specialist of Wine and French Wine Scholar Certifications, Gregg became the Product Education Specialist for the Philadelphia store employees, where he taught the same classes that originally attracted him to the world of wine. Gregg always admired Artisan's Cellar’s portfolio, so when the Wine Consultant position opened up in the Fall of 2018, he jumped at the opportunity to expand his horizons and get people excited with the coolest juice of all.  Gregg’s territories include the Philadelphia suburbs and selected cities to the west, the Lehigh Valley, and Delaware.
