Tasting Bar Sommelier - Compline Wine Shop

Compline Wine Shop

Napa, CA

Job Description:

Do you like talking about and tasting Burgundy? Do you know one Conterno from the other? Your Kabinett from your Trockenbeerenauslese?

We're hiring — Join the Compline Wine Shop team!

Our 1,800-ft shop features a cellar-temperature selection of 1,000 wines from all over the globe. A separate tasting bar in the front of the shop provides a "tasting room" experience for guests. Like any winery-owned tasting room in downtown Napa, we offer the opportunity to taste a flight of wines—but they aren't part of a single brand, and they could be from anywhere in the world.

The Tasting Bar Sommelier role is primarily responsible for pouring these tasting flights in a fun, informative manner, while promoting the sales of monthly wine clubs and retail purchases in the shop. This is a great position for someone with hospitality experience, who wants to continue learning about the world of wine, talk about more than one winery, and join the team at Napa's premier retail destination.

Compensation ranges from $18-24/hour depending on experience, plus tips and regular bonuses for wine club signups.

This is a part-time position for 15-25 hours a week. Wed-Thurs weeknights and Fri/Sat availability is necessary for consideration.

Requirements:

Minimum 1 year experience in hospitality, including restaurant service and/or winery tasting room.
Recent wine education - WSET level 3, CMS Certified, or similar.
Ability to lift at least 40 lbs regularly,
Music taste that doesn't suck,
Familiarity with Microsoft Office programs,
Desire to create positive guest experiences,
and a drive to sell wine!

Great handwriting and experience with Adobe Illustrator are a plus.
