Job Description

About Counter-
Counter-  is not just a restaurant; it is an immersive, full-sensory experience that uses taste, sound, and art to tell a story. Located in West Charlotte, we offer rotating quarterly themed tasting menus—such as "Modern Art," "The Wall," and "Terroir"—where every course is paired with a specific song and narrative. We are a   Michelin-starred   and   Michelin Green Star   establishment, committed to sustainability and social equity. Our wine program is a cornerstone of this experience, specifically highlighting stories not often told.

The Role
We are seeking a highly creative and technically proficient Sommelier to join our tight-knit team. As the Sommelier, you will be a key role in our dining service, guiding 16–18 guests through complex beverage pairings that must perfectly sync with Chef Sam Hart’s 10- to 14-course menus.

  • Pairing Execution: Deliver world-class wine service for our tiered pairing options as well as our curated spirit-free program.
  • Storytelling: Verbally present wine selections to guests, connecting the producer’s story and the wine’s profile to the quarterly theme and musical playlist.
  • Program Curation: Collaborate with the Beverage Director to maintain a diverse Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence bottle list of 600+ labels. 
  • Cellar & Inventory Management: Oversee the daily organization of the wine cellar, manage inventory counts, and ensure all wines are stored and served at precise temperatures.
  • Staff Education: Lead training sessions for the front-of-house team to ensure deep product knowledge and impeccable service standards.
  • Service Excellence:   Assist in all aspects of the "shared experience" service, including clearing, resetting, and supporting the kitchen team in our open-counter environment.
