James Nieves

Managing Director of Sales, Marketing and Operations

James Nieves began his wine career in 2005 with an international wine brokerage firm in San Francisco’s Financial District, where his ability to build genuine relationships with collectors quickly set him apart. He went on to become a top producer in Direct-to-Consumer wine sales, helping grow a startup into one of the Bay Area’s leading DTC operations.

Over the past two decades, James has worked closely with premier Napa, Sonoma and Oregon wineries, earning a reputation as a trusted source for both access and insight. His approach is highly personal, guiding clients through sourcing, curating, and managing collections with a focus on both quality and experience.

Today, James serves as Managing Director of Sales, Marketing and Operations for Peirson Meyer, working closely with winemaker Robbie Meyer to shape the client experience and bring a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every interaction, while continuing to advise a select group of boutique producers. He ensures his clients feel confident in every bottle they open and share.
