Job Details

We’re looking for:

A passionate and curious individual to join our small team as a Flex Assistant Sommelier / Captain — a hybrid role that blends floor leadership, wine service, and guest engagement.

This is an ideal position for someone who loves wine, enjoys storytelling, and wants hands-on experience learning about Spain’s diverse wine regions and culinary traditions.

You’ll work closely with our Wine Director and front-of-house team to deliver thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuine hospitality — all while deepening your understanding of one of the most exciting wine programs in the city.

What You’ll Do:

  • Assist the Wine Director in curating, organizing, and maintaining the wine list and cellar.
  • Lead or support wine service on the floor, including bottle presentation, pairing recommendations, and tableside hospitality.
  • Serve as captain or lead server during service — ensuring flow, communication, and guest satisfaction.
  • Educate guests and staff on our wines, regions, and producers.
  • Participate in tastings, staff training, and ongoing education.
  • Support a collaborative, respectful, and inspiring team culture.

What We’re Looking For:

  • A genuine passion for wine and food — especially Spanish wine and cuisine.
  • Some experience in wine service or fine/casual dining preferred, but eagerness to learn is key.
  • Strong communication and guest engagement skills.
  • A flexible, team-oriented mindset — comfortable balancing sommelier and captain duties.
  • Curiosity, humility, and an appetite for growth

Why you'll love working here: 

  • Hands-on mentorship with our wine director and leadership team
  • Deep exposure to Spanish wines, from Basque txakolina to aged Riojas
  • Small, tight-knit team where your voice and personality matter
  • Room to grow and take on more responsibility within the wine program

Send a short note about yourself and what excites you about Spanish wine, along with your résumé, to [email protected].
