Are you someone who loves talking and writing about wines and spirits as well as engaging customers?

If so, we would love to welcome you to our team.

Gnarly Vines is a vibrant, adored neighborhood wine and spirits shop in Fort Greene, Brooklyn since 2007 with a devoted clientele.  We offer a considerably larger selection than a ’boutique’ shop but we’re much more approachable and selective than a huge superstore.

We have a strong emphasis on small production wines and spirits that are ‘sustainable or stricter’. Yet we’re not crusaders. We believe in the broad spectrum of wines and spirits from different regions and varietals, in different styles, that appeal to a wide range of tastes and budgets.

Seeking a responsible, bright, detail-oriented person to roll up their sleeves and contribute in all aspects of customer service for our vibrant neighborhood wine shop. The candidate must be personable, presentable, team-focused, communicate well and be motivated to provide the highest level of customer service possible. This is a very hands-on position.

Desired Qualifications
-Serious (or at least budding) interest in wines and spirits with solid writing skills.

-Prior experience in a restaurant with a well-curated list, a retail shop or formal study (i.e. WSET certificate)

-Solid computer skills – Mac savvy with POS experience

-Must be able to commit to approx. 36-40 hours per week, including some evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Note: If you’re only looking for part time work, we may be able to accommodate you as well.

-Must be able to lift and carry a 40lb case of wine up and down stairs

Perks
-Generous staff discount on wines and spirits
-Regular in-store tastings
-Invitations to trade-only, supplier tastings and events
-Opportunity for growth and advancement
