Part-time Retail Associate WINE STORE

Vacancy expired!

Red Feet Wine Market is an exciting wine store that sells handcrafted wines from around the world, focusing on family-owned wineries and wines that reflect a sense of place. We are looking for a part time person to work selling wine as well as making deliveries as needed.

The right person needs to have a strong foundation of wine knowledge and to be curious, interested and dedicated to researching and studying about new wines. Our staff retains the information and then relays that to our customers in order to help them make the best buying decisions for their needs. We will provide ongoing education about the wines and will sample wines constantly in the store to increase your knowledge. We are looking for a friendly, warm and approachable person who loves customer service and working with people.

For availability, we need someone who is consistently available Thursdays through Sundays with flexibility on other days. We are only looking for someone who will work with us long-term as it takes awhile to learn our selection intimately. The job will entail 20-30 hours per week; however, the schedule changes month-to-month as far as exact days and times to be worked. Generally it would be afternoon shifts starting at 12pm or after and going as late as 8:30pm; however our shifts are anywhere from 4.5 hours to 8 hours long. So a sample shift might be 12pm-7pm or 3pm to 8:30pm.

If you like cooking and high quality food and wine, you may be a great candidate, even if you don't have direct experience in wine retail. But of course, the more wine knowledge you already have, the better. Waiting tables and bartending provide excellent experience that translates really well into what we do at Red Feet, and winery experience is also a great foundation. This is a fun and stimulating job involving great products and people. It's not as stressful as a restaurant job, yet it still provides the fun hospitality and foodie aspects!

Side tasks of the job include stocking wine, computer work, opening + closing sidework, making deliveries, running errands and keeping the store clean and tidy. We are open 7 days a week as follows: Monday-Thursday 11am-8pm, Friday & Saturday 10am-8pm, Sunday 12pm-6pm.

If you are interested, please send me an email and I'll forward you our job application. You may also email me a resume if you have one ready, but it's not necessary. We pay half your health insurance after four months with us and you will enjoy wine discounts and monthly wine comps.
