Sommelier - Field Guide : Job Details

Field Guide in Williamsburg is a new wine destination & American farm-to-table restaurant owned and operated by Chef Tim Meyers. About Field Guide

Located adjacent to the new Domino Park development, the new Michelin-aspiring restaurant, under the guidance of our visionary chef-owner, is committed to creating an unforgettable dining experience where every dish is crafted with precision and artistry. Scheduled to open in Fall 2024, we're looking for talented front of house professionals to help execute our vision.

Headed by Wine Director & Managing Partner, Mackenzie Khosla, whose background includes New York City staples such as Marta, Bar Boulud, and Pasquale Jones, the ethos of this program is to have something for everyone in the dining room, at extremely competitive rates meant to encourage guests to recognize Field Guide as a can't-miss wine destination. The wine program will be comprehensive and global, with all regions and styles represented. Additionally, a significant amount of consignment wine will be included in the program, which will offer our guests the opportunity to drink old and rare selections.

The bar program, like the wine program, seeks to offer all guests an opportunity to drink something that excites them. Taking cues from classic cocktails, all spirits and styles will be represented, with a vision to offer thoughtful twists on classics in a signature menu that will be rotated in tandem with the food menu. The back bar will include consignment liquor, with the goal of growing a rare & old whisky and Chartreuse program for our spirit-minded guests. The non-alcoholic cocktail program is also of significance– here we will be creating as many selections as being offered on the signature menu, and intend the same seasonal rotation as the food menu & signature cocktails.

What we are looking for:

• A passionate Sommelier
• Excellent guest management & communication skills
• Ability to connect with new guests and maintain greatest relationships with regulars
• A passion for food, wine, and service
• A strong sense of urgency while exuding a calm demeanor
• A desire to learn and grow
• A strong attention to detail
• Multiple years experience working in a high-caliber restaurant

What we can offer:

• The ability to work team full of talented professionals
• Competitive pay driven by a service-minded approach to staffing
• Comprehensive and consistent wine & spirits education
• Employee Dining Benefits
