Sommelier

Sauced Nashville is looking for a sommelier with strong wine knowledge, a love for hospitality, and the ability to jump behind the bar and get to work.

Our wine service starts with a conversation. We don’t hand guests a printed wine menu. We ask what they like, offer tastes, and help them find something they’re excited to drink. You should be comfortable introducing someone to a new producer or grape, but just as comfortable finding them a great glass without giving a lecture. Reading the guest is as important as knowing the wine.

This is a hands-on role that combines wine service and bartending. Along with guiding guests through wine, you’ll make cocktails, pour beer, take orders, and handle the setup, restocking, and closing responsibilities that keep a bar running well.

What you’ll do

• Lead approachable, conversational wine service at the bar and on the floor.

• Make thoughtful recommendations based on guests’ tastes and budgets.

• Prepare and serve wine, cocktails, and beer with consistency and care.

• Keep your station clean, stocked, and organized throughout service.

• Support your teammates and share your wine knowledge.

What we’re looking for

• Strong working knowledge of wine and experience in a wine-focused bar or restaurant.

• The ability to talk about wine in a way that makes people feel comfortable and included.

• Bartending experience and confidence handling a busy service.

• Someone who notices what needs doing and follows through.

• Wine buying experience is a plus, particularly experience selecting bottles, working with distributors, and managing inventory.

Sommelier certification is welcome, but not required. We care about your knowledge, curiosity, work ethic, and how you take care of people.
