Do you like talking about and tasting Burgundy? Do you know one Conterno from the other? Your Kabinett from your Trockenbeerenauslese? More importantly—do you like hospitality and do you thrive in guest-facing, dynamic service roles? Do you enjoy helping the team succeed?

We're hiring SOMMELIERS — Join the Compline team!

Our 1,800-ft shop features a cellar-temperature selection of 1,200 wines from all over the globe, international guest star winemakers almost every week, and a great local following. A separate tasting bar in the front of the shop provides a "tasting room" experience for guests, where we pour local and international flights daily.

The Wine Shop Sommelier role is 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. Additionally, the Wine Shop Sommelier is responsible for fulfilling club and e-commerce shipments. Previous experience with online retail or wine club fulfillment is a plus!

If you are motivated by crafting great guest experiences, rewarding curiosity, and selling wine, this is a great opportunity for you.

Great sense of hospitality and guest engagement
Solid foundation of world wine knowledge
Experience in wine service in a hospitality/restaurant setting
